TERRIFIC STEAMBOAT RACE. ‘Graphie Description of a Scene on a : Southern River, e The Excitement Incident to the Struggle—- ' Getting Up Steam—Piling in Rosin— Holding Down the Valve—The Explogion. LFrom the Gilded Agé, a novel written conjointly by Mark Twain and Charles D. Warner.] At night the boat forged on through the deep solitudes of the river, hardly ever discovering a light to festify to a human presence; mile after mile and league after league the vast hends were guarded by unbroken walls of forest that had never been disturbed by the voice or the footfall of a man, or felt the edge of his sacrilegious axe. An hour after supper the moon came up,and Clay and Washington (two boys) ascended to the hurricane deck to revel again in their Hew realm of enchantment. | They ran races up and down the deck, climbed about the bell, made friends with the passenger dogs: chained under the little boat, tried to make friends with a passenger's bear fasténed to the verge staff, but were not encouraged; “skinned the cat” on the hog chains; in a word, exhausted the amusement possibilities of the deck. Then they looked wistfully up to the pilot house, and finally, little by little, Clay ventured up there, followed diffidenfly by Washington.— The pilot turned presently to “get his stern marks,” saw the lads, and invited them in. This cosy little house built entirely of glass, and commanding a marvellous prospect in every direction, was a magician’s throne to them, and their. enjoyment of the place was simply boundless. - They . sat them down on a high bench and looked miles ahead, and saw the wooded capes fold back and reveal the bends beyond; and they locked miles to the rear and saw the silvery highway diminish its breadths by degrees and close itself together in the distance. Presently the pilot said: “By George, yonder comes the Amaranth!” b

A spark.appeared, close to the water, several miles down the river. The pilot took his glass and looked at -it steadily for a moment, and said, chiefly to himself: ‘ o “It can’t bo the Blue Wing. She couldn’t pick us up in this way. It’s the Amaranth, sure” - . He bent over a speaking tube and gaid: . bh : - . STIRRING UP THE CREW, “Who'’s on watch down there ?” . A hollow unhuman vdice rumbled up through the tube in answer. “I am. Second engineer.” : “Good! You want to stir yeur stumps, now, Harry—the Amaranth’s .just turned the point—and she’s just ‘2 humping herself, too!” ' . ' The pilot took hold of a rope that | stretched out forward, jerked it twice, | and two mellow strokes of the bell responded:. ; A voice out.on the deck shouted: ; il ~ “Stand by, down there, with that labboard lead!” _ : “No, I don’t want the lead,” said the pilot, “I want yow. Roust out the old man; tell him the Amaranth’s .coming. And go and tell “old Jim”—tell - him.” - | ’ “Aye, aye, sir!¥ . The “old man’ was the captain; he is always called so on steamboats and ships. “Jim” wasthe other pilot. Within two minutes both of these men were flying up the pilot house stairway three steps at a jump.. Jim was in his shirt sleeves, with his coat and. vest on his arm. -He said:

. “I was just turhing in. Where’s the glass ?” e : He took it and looked. : “Don’t appear to be any night hawk on the jack staff; it's the Amaranth, dead sure!” ] : v The captain took a long look and only said: { : “Damnation!” | George Davis, the pilot on wateh, shouted [to the might watchman on deck: / “How’s she loaded ?” “Two inches by the head, sir.” , “Tain’t enough.” ’ The captain shouted now: THROWING IN THE COMBUSTIBLES, “Call the mate. - Tell him to call all hands and get a lot of that sugar forrid. Put her ten inches by the head. Lively, now!” “Aye, aye, sir!”? : A riol ol shouting and trampling floated up from ‘beléw presently, and the uneasy steering of the boat soon showed that she was getting “down by thehead @ i

The three men in the pilot house began to talk in short, sharp sentences, low and earnestly. As their excitement rose their voices went down. As fast as one of them put down the spy glass another took it up; but always with a studied air of calmness. Each time the verdict' was: “She’s a gaining!” The captain spoke through the tube again. - “What steam are you carrying ?” “A hundred and forty-two, sir! But she’s getting hotter and hotter all the time.” ] ' S “That’s it! I thought it wasn't any slouch that was running that] middle bar in Hog Eye Bend. = If it’s Wash. Hastings—well, what he don’t know about the river ain’t worth knowing—a regular gold-leaf, kid-glove, dia-mond-breastpin pilot Wash. Hastings is. 'We won’t take any tricks off of him, old man!”? - = : “I wish I'd a stopped for him, that’s all.” i : ; The Amaranth was within three hundred yards of the Boreas, and still gaining. The “old man” spoke thro’ the tube: | “What is she carrying now?” . .- “A hundred and sixty-five, sir!” “How’s your wood ¢’ L “Pine all out—cypress half gone — eating up cottonwood like pie!” “Break into the rosin on the main de’ck-—pile it in,.the boat can pay for i 1 ikl S

Soon the boat was plunging, and quivering, and screaming more madly than ever: But the Amaranth’s head was almost abreast the Boreas’s stern. “How’s your steam, Harry ?” | “Hundred and'eight-two, sir!” “Break up the casks of bacon in the forrid hold! Pile it-in! ‘Levy on that turpentine in the fantail—drench eve--1y stick of wood with it!” The boat was a moving earthquake by this time. - : “How is she mow ?” : ' ROOSTING ON THE SAFETY VALVE. “A hundred and ninety-six and still swelling—water below the middle - guage cock—carrying every pound she -can stand=nigger roosting on the safe‘ty valve!” iRt : “Good! How’s your draft?” ‘ “Bully! Every time a'nigger heaves & stick of wood into the furnace he _goes out the ehimney with it!” g l._ - The Amaranth drew steadily uptin

LIGONIER, IND., THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1574.

|'her jackstaff breasted the Boreas’s wheel-house; climbed along inch by inch till her chimneys breasted it; crept along further and further till the boats were wheel to wheel, and then they closed up with a heavy jolt and locked together tight and fast in the middle of the big riyer, under the flooding moonlight. A roar and a hurrah went up from the crowded decks of both steamers; all hands rushed to the guards to look, and shout, and gesticulate; the weight careened the vessels. The boat was straining and groaning and quivering like a monster in pain. Both pilots were at work now, one on each side of the wheel with their coats and vests off, their bosoms and collars wide open, and the perspiration flowing down .their faces.— They were holding the boat 8o close to the shore that the willows swept the guards almeost from stern to stern. . “Stand by!” whispered George, . - “All ready,’ said Jim under his breath. ' : “Let her come!” i = . The boat sprang away from the | bank like a deer, and darted in a long diagonal toward the other shore.— She closed in again and thrashed her fierce way along the willows as before. The Captain put down the glass. “Lord! how she walks upon us. I do hate to be beat.” - “Jim” said George, looking straight | ahead, watching theslightest yawning of the boat and promptly meeting it with the wheel, “how’ll it do to try Murderer’s Chute ?” ; “Well, it's—it’s.taking chances.— How was the cottonwood stump on the false point below Boardman’s Island this morning ?” “Water just touchix}lg the roots.” : THROUGH MURDERER’S CHUTE. “Well, it’s pretty close work. That gives gix feet scant in the head of Murderer’s Chute. We can just barely | rub through-if we hit exactly right.—— But it’s worth trying. She don’t dare tackle it"—meaning the Amaranth. In another instant the Boreas plunged into what seemed a crooked creek, ‘and the Amaranth’s approaching lights ‘were shut out in a moment.— ‘Not a whisper was uttered now, but the three men started ahead into the shadows, and two of them spun . the wheel back and forth with anmxious watchfulness, while the steamer tore along. =~ The chute seemed to come to an end every fifty yards, but always opened up in time. Now the head of it was at hand. George tapped the big bell three times, two leadsmen sprang to their posts, and in a moment their weird cries rose on the night air, and were caught up and repeated by two men on the upper deck: i “No-o 0 bottom!” - ‘ §- “De ep four!” o i “Half three!” { “Quarter three!” . o i “Mark under wa-a-ter three!” “Quarter twain!”—— l Davis pulled a couple of ropes—there was a jingling of small bells ’ far below, the boat’s speed slackened, | and the pent up steam began to whis- | tle, and the guage cocks scream: ) [ “Quar-ter-hdr-er-less twain 2” { - “Eight and a half!” ‘ 1 ] “Eight; feet!” : “Seven-an’-a-half ”——. ‘Another whistle of little bells’ and the wheels ceased turning altegether. The whistling of the gteain was something frightful now —it almost drowned all other noises. o “Stand by to meet her!” George had the wheel hard down ‘ and was standing on the spoke. “All ready.” The boat hesitated—seemed to hold her breath, as did the captain and pilots—and then she began to fall away to starboard, and every eye l#ghted. “Now then!{—meet her! meet her! Snatch her!™ o ael The wheel flew to port so fast that the spokes blended into a spider web —the swing of the boat subsided~she steadied herself—- “ Seven feet!” - “Sev—six and a half!” v “Six feet! six f—" .4 . SHAKING HER UP. . : Bang! She hit the bottom! George shouted through the tube: : - “Spread her wide open! Whale it at her!” ; : Pow—wow—chow! The escape pipe belched snowy pillars of steam aloft, the boat aground, and surged and trembled—and slid over into—- “ M-ark Twain!” : “Tap! tap! tap!” (to signify “Lay in the leads.”) -‘ ‘ And away she went flying up the willow shore, with the whole silver sea of the Mississippi stretching abroad on every hand. 0 No Amaranth in sight. . “Ha, ha, boys, we took a couple of tricks that time,” said the captain. And just at that moment a red glare appeared in the head of the chute, and the Amaranth came springing in aftex them. - S “Well, I swear!” “«Jim, what does that mean?” “T’ll tell you what the meaning of it is. That hail we had at Napoleon was Wash. Hastings,'wanting to come to Cairo, and we didn’t stop. He’s in the pilot house now, showing those ; inud turtles how to hunt for easy waer.” : : As the boats ranged side by side they careened over towards each otlner—officers flew hither and thither, .cursing and storming, trying to drive the people amidships—both captains:. ‘were leaning over the railing shaking their fists, swearing and threatening —black volumes of smoke rolled up and- canopied the scene, delivering a rain of‘sparks upon the vessels—two -pistol - shots rang out and both captains dodged unhurt, and the packed mass of passengers surged back and fell apart, while the very shrieks of women and children soared above the - intolerable din. And then there was a booming roar, a thundering crash, and the riddled Amaranth dropped loose from their hold and drifted hopelessly awgy. : A ) e

AGONIES OF THE DYING. : Instantly the fire doors of the Boreas were thrown open, and the men began dashing buckets of water into the furnace; for it would have been death and destruction to stop the engines. ‘with such a head of steam on, As soon as possible the Boreas dropped down to the floating wreck, and took of the dead, the wounded, and theunhurt; at least all that could be got at, for the whale forward half of the boat was-a shapeless ruin, with the great chimneys lying crossed on the top of it, and underneath were a dozen victims imprisoned alive, and wailing for hq}f)" ~While men with axes worked with might and main to free. these poor fellows, the. Boreas’s boats went about picking up stragglers from P st ntod it . And now a new horror presented i self. 'The wreck took fire from the

dismantled furnaces. Never did men work with a heartier will than did those stalwart braves; with axes, but it was of no use. The fire ate its way steadily, despising the bucket brigade that fought it. It scorched the clothes, it singed the hair of the axemen; it drove them back footjby foot, inch by inch; they wavered, struck a final blow infthe teeth| of the enemy, and surrendered. And as they fell back they heard prisoned voices saying: “Don’t leave us! Don’t desert us! Don’t, don’t do it!” F And one poor fellow said: “I am Henry Worley, striker of the Amaranth! My mother lives in St. Louis. Tell her a lie for a poor devil’s smke, please. Say I was killed in an instant, and never' knew what hurt ne—though God knows I've neither scrateh nor bruse this moment! It's bard to burn up in a coop like this, with the whole wide world so near.— Good-bye, boys—we’ve all got to come i it at last, anyway!” ¢ HEROISM.

“The Boreas stood away out of danger, and the ruined steamer went drifting down the stream, ‘an island of wreathing and climbing flame, that vomited clouds of smoke from timeto time, and glared more fiercely and sent the luminous tongues higher and higher, after each emission. A shriek at intervals told of a captive.that had met his doom. The wreck lodged ona sand; bar, and when the Boreas turned the next point on her upward journey it was still burning with scarcely abated fury. i When the boys came down into the main saloon of the Boreas they saw a pitiful sight, and heard a world of pitiful sounds.. Elevén poor creatures lay dead, and forty more lay moaning, or pleading, or screaming, while a score of: Good Samaritans moved among them, doing what they could to relieve their sufferings, bathing their skinless faces and bodies with linseed oil and lime water, and covering the places with bulging masses of raw cotton, that gave to every face and form a dreadful and inhuman aspect. ; | 5 ' A little wee French midshipman of fourteen lay fearfully injured, but never uttered a sound till a physician of Memphis was about to dress his hurts. . . : : “Can I get well? You need not be afraid to tell me?” . . No, I—l am afraid'you cannot.” “Then do not waste your time with me—help those that can get well.” “But”’— 5 : “Help those who can get well! It is not for me to be a girl. I carry the blood of eleven generations of soldiers in my veins!” , The physician—himself a man who had seen -service in the navy in his time—touched his hat to the little hero and passed on. o

BURNING WORDS. : : . The head engineer of the Amaranth, a grand specimen of physical manhood, struggled to his feet a ghastly spectacle; and strode 'towards hig brother, the second engineer, who was unhurt. He said: Gt “You were on watch. You were, boss. You would not listen to me whaen 1 begged you to reduce your steam. Take that!—take it to my wife, and tell her it comes from me by the hand of my murderer! . Take it! and take my curse with it to blister your heart for a hundred years—and may youw live that long!” f And he tore a ring from his finger, stripping the flesh and skin with it threw it down and fell dead!

But these things must not be dwelt upon. The Boreas landed her dreadful cargo at the next large town, and delivered it over to a multitude of eager hands and warm Southern hearts—a cargo amounting by this time to thirty-nine. wounded persons and twenty-two dead bodies. And with these she delivered a list of ninety-six missing persons that had drowned or otherwise perished at the scene of the disaster.

A jury of inquest was impanneled, ‘and after due deliberation and inquiry, they returned the inevitable American verdict, which has been'so familiar to our ears all the days of our lives—- “ Nobody to blame.” : & [ln a note the authors vouch for the entire authenticity of the ‘above account,] :

Lilinputians—A Race of Little Folks . Discovered in Central Africa. Bayard Taylor, in a létter from Egypt, gives an account of the recent discovery of a race of pigmies in Cengral Africa. Speaking of two, in the care of the Khedive, he says: The little fellows looked at me with bright, questioning, steady eyes, while I examined and measured them. Tubbal was 46 inches in height, the legs being 22 inches, and body with head 24, which is somewhat better proportioned than is usual in savage tribes. The head and arms were quite symmetrical, but the spine curved in remarkably from the shoulders to the hip-joint, throwing out the abdomen, which was already much distorted, probably from their diet of beans and bananas. ' The head was ereet, the shoulders on the line of gravity, and there was no stoop in the posture of thebody, as in Scuth Africa. ; : Tubbal measured 26 inches around the breast, and 28 around the abdomen. His hands and feet were coarsely formed, but not large, only the knee joints being disproportionately thick and clumsy. The facial angle was fully up to the average. There was good development of the brain, fine, intelligent eyes, and a nose so flattened that in looking down the forehead from above one could-only see the lips projecting beyond it. The nostrils were astenishingly wide and square. The complexion was t,2at of a dark mulatto.

4 S —- | O - A New Point on the Xigquor Law. A new difficulty, invo,'ving a point of law, has arisen at Je@ersonville, Ind, on the liquor quest.'on. The point is an important one, and the decision of the Supreme Court may be looked for with interest. The facts are as follows: ‘ : Y The defendant was a saloon-keeDer, had a permit to sell, but was indicted, tried and convicted for violating the law. The court below held that that worked a forfeiture of his permit. He appealed to the Supreme Court; the point he makes is that there must be a decree made setting aside the permit before he can be held te have sold . without a permit. The court held that the fact of a conviction revoked a forfeiture of his permit, and that any sale he made after that was a sale without a permit. The ‘Attorney General submitted the case to the Supreme Court yesterday.—lndianapolis JourMz, 2dl “ R ¥ §

~ Condition of Winter Wheat. ' [(From the Monthly Report of the Dep’t of Agr'r.} ‘Four-tenths of the wheat harvested in the United States is fall-sown. The spring-wheat territory includes practically the six Eastern States, four North-western, and those of the Pacific coast. The former are of little importance in production, and the latter are not properly included in either list, sowing being continued from fall to spring in California and in winter and spring in Oregon. The four States, Wisconsin, Minnesota, lowa, and Nebraska, now produce 90,000,000 bushels, or about one-fourth of the crop. , The present returns include the {larger portion: of | the winter-wheat area. They represent the crop as more generally promising than at this period for several years past. 'lilhq influence of sudden alternatioln of temperature, and of cold and drying winds, during the month ‘past, has been almost the only drawback to the uniformity eof vitality and higher eondition of the wheat plant in every section of the country., The winter has been so remarkably mild in the South, with almost entire absence of injurious changes of temperature, that the returns from Virginia to Texas are nearly unanimous in ascribing either average vigor or luxuriant growth to the wheat: avea. In about onefourth of thefgebunties in the Ohio Valley an unp¥emising appearance is. reported, while a majority represent in various terms a condition above an average. From Missouri and Kansas stilll fewer unfavorable returns have been received. ! 5

~ Though the wheat product of the New England States is little more than a peck to each inhabitant, of which but one-twelfth is fall-sown, winter wheat is sometimes grown ‘in Aroostook, the ‘most northern. point of Maine, and it is common to obtain on new lands there a yield fifty per cent. higher than the usual average for the whole country. ' About half the winter wheat grown in New England is grown in Connecticut, where the proportion of spring wheat is only one to twenty. The small area sown has been less effectually covered with snow than usual, having been bare much of the winter, even in Maine and New Hampshire, with occasional thaws, and has suffered injury in consequence. ; ‘ :

__Six-sevenths of the crop of New Nork is'seeded in the fall. Favorable reports are more numerous than un‘favorable. . The promise is good in Ontario; a fair expectation is entertained in Niagara; a better prospect than last year in Livingston; average in Genesee, though injured on low grounds by alternate freezing and thawing. These.four counties produce one-third of the winter wheat of New York. ; iSiaes

~. In analysis of Pennsylvania returns but four counties present inferior condition, Erie, Forest, Jefferson, and MecKean, while forty are characterized ag “average,” “unusually good,” “very promising,” “extra,” “never looked better,” notwithstanding the winter has been open and the ground bare for much of the time in many counties. Little Delaware produces. about one million bushels of wheat, and the promise .this year is very good, counties ranging from average up to fifty per cent. better than last year. - The Kent correspondent remarks its fine appearance wherever - attention * was paid to the preparation of the ground. - Fourteen counties in Maryland have indicated prospects ranging from fair to extra, and not one makes an unfat vorable return. The cold winds of March have temporarily affected the appearance of many fields. The Queen Anne correspondent says: “I have never seen so good a stand of wheat, even in low and unfavorable ground, although cont_ifged rains in Qctober prevented seeding until late in the autumn.” - s ‘

Returns from sixty-four counties in Virginia represent the prospect good at present for an excellent crop. No county gfails to show average condition. Wheat-growers generally are delighted with the prospect. Comparisons are frequently made with former crops, and some declare the crop finer at this season than in any April since 1860. : \ -

+ The cotton States cultivate wheat sparingly, and only in counties whiclh+ produce little or no cotton. Throughout the entire area the promising appearance of the growing wheat is remarkable. We have never been able to report such uniformity of high -condition, and only once, in 1871, anything approaching it. Scarcely a really marked exception is reported. In West Virginia a county upon the ‘mountains, Pendleton, reports “a dry fall and poor start,” but all other sections represent good condition, in some . cases the best for/fifteen years. Kentucky reports a very mild winter, unusual exemption from injurious alternations of temperature, and: a uniformly good appearance of the growing crop. In some localities the unfavorable influence of March weather is slightly apparent. : Two-thirds of the' Ohio counties make favorable returns. In Morrow fields look unpromising, but those well cultivateq,&xnd seeded with the drill look best. ».It is noted in Henry that swinter wheat fails with the cutting ' off of the surrounding timber. . “Better than. for twenty years,” is the rec~ord in Vinton; “best in ten years” in Gallia; “very fine” in Jefferson.— - Among the counties which have reported injury from alternations of freezing and thawing are Licking, Hancock, Shelby, Mercer, Richland, Starke, Van Wert, Lucas, Defiance, Hardin, Logan, Crawford, Wyandot, and Huron. - The southern and eastern counties, with a generally rolling surface, have. escaped much injury. The flat, wet lands of the north and. north-west comprise - most of the deteriorated area. The Franklin correspondent says: “Wheat, on proper. soils for its growth, was never better, On lands poor%r drained and badly tilled it is considerably winter-killed. In fact, on badly-managed lands this ‘crop has long since ceased to pay expenses. ~This, however, is the fault of cultivation, and not of the climate or (voil. I have known two neighbors, w 'ith fields of like soil lying together, wicth only a fence between—one wo’d have' thirty bushels to the acre, while the ot.ter had less than five bushels per acre'; one keeping his land up and ﬁﬁkmg Jnaney,-the other letting his s}and b ecome thin, and he going in rags and becoming poorer each year.” L e Very few counties in Miqhig[an'have : any cause to lm%;m% the condition of winter wheat. ~With the exception of returns from Newago and Cass, and those of Bmcﬁnwm ‘and Tenaqen s oari LA e fie Th optnion ’m’%&mw:ﬁ.; “The_ ‘best in ten years;” “the bHest in twen-

| ty years” in Calhoun; and “never better” in Barry and Jackson. Inthe latter “the foot-stalks are very large, the leaf broad ; the stools stand square and firm.” In Van Buren the timber- | lands make the best show. .~ = - - Fully seventy per cent. of the Indiana eounties make favorable returns. Some of the exceptions are Decatur, Noble, Randolph, Hamilton; Marshall, ‘Whitley, Steuben, Grant, ML'rtin, Tipton, Wells and Wayne. The clay soils are affected by freezing and thawing, the sandy soils and bottom-lands exempt. The prospect is claimed to be the best in forty years.in Knox. The | early sown is best in Brown. = ‘ l ! Very few returns from Tllinois are i unfavorable. The early sown is almost uniformly in superior condition; in some cases late sown is a failure. The favorable influence of good till- | age upon condition is repeatedly shown The rough and changeable weather of March has been injurious in Grundy, DeKalb, Washington, Tazewell, Effingham and Mason. ' In Franklin its healthy color and thickly-matted growth is & noticeable. . Six counties ‘produce nearly a quarter of the winter wheat of the State, averaging in a good -year three-fourths .of a million | bushels each—Randolph, Macoupin, Washington, Monroe, Clinton and Jersey—and of those all except Washingington report condition from average ] to fine; Randolph (producing a million bushels. usually), marked “very fine.” l Wisconsin, Minnesota and lowa, producing in 1873 about ninety mil- | lions of bushels of wheat, do not_together aggregate more than twice the amount of fall-sown wheat grown in | Randolph county, Illinois, yet many people gravely speculate upon the prospects of the crop of winter wheat in those States. Still there are favorable reports this year from Kewaunee, Washington, Sheboygan, Buffalo, Calumet, and other counties in Wisconsin; and Benton, Jefferson; Louisa, Lee, Appanoose, Muscatine, Decatur { and Clayton in-fowa.. . ~ = . Nearly all thie wheat in Missouri is fall sown. - For several years past its wheat returns have been unpromising, but there is very little cause for complaint the present spring. * Some correspondents .state that the prospect has not been. better for thirty years. It is generally of good color; well rooted and vigorous. - In Perry “croakers say it is entirely too fine for the sea- | son.” ‘The Polk county correspondent says: "Never looked better, but the chinch-bug is bound to take it.. Millions of them have just put in an appearance. ;Every:shelter-for them | during the :Winter(was litterally filled.”. ‘ln‘Kansas almost equally flattering prospects are presented. ' But three counties, Nemaha, ‘Miami and Shaw- | nee, report low -condition.. “Very good,” *never better,” and “best for | eight years,” and similar expressions l characterize the returns: The Labette | correspondent says: “It is as thick on the ground as can be, from four to | eight inches high, affording excellent pasture for some of the half-starved | cattle, without doing any harm either.” | The early sown is the best. ‘Nebraska | is not a winter wheat State.’ - l The California returns are of vari- | ous import, some very favorable, others discouraging. . Strange to. say, ; several correspondents report a surplys of rain. “Good, éxeept on low | land;” “drowned by excessive rains;” “too,much rain;” “winter has been-so rainy there has not been enough'sown | to bread the county.”" e

il A W g 2 Plain Talk by Gen. Willich. A friend, in a private letter, makes this reference to the speeches delivered at the recent soldiers’ reunion at Fort Wayne: e S By the way, speaking of soldiers’ reunions reminds me of thelate meeting of old soldiers at Feort Wayne. Being in attendance, I heard -several of the speeches, among others: those made by, Gens. Gibson and Willich.. Gibson/s speech, as an oratorical effort, was simply grand and, of course, was well received; yes, enthusiastically received, but like the aurora borealis, it flashed and dazzled for a brief while and then went out, to be remembered only as a.thing of beauty; while Willich’s ‘broken -effort was brim full of wisdom, meaning more and teaching more than all the others. The “Old Dutchman” . ‘counseled the “boys” to weigh well the prize they had fought for and gained. He said: *“Dis is -a clorious and creat country,” ete., etc.. . But, said he, the benefits we fought for and'have gained cannot be kept up by fine speeches and glorifying over past deeds of valor. ' These, our glorious institutions of liberty, must be kept up, not by grand-achievements of arms, not by the power and speed of railroad engines, but.by the power of -moral intellect, etc. - He deprecated the corruption in high places, angd told the “boys in blue” that they must look to it and dethrone the political leaders if they would remain free.

- Oppression Ventilated. : . [From the Martinsville Gazette.] =~ MR. EpiTor:—The United States has the reputation of having performed the greatest philanthropic act of the nineteenth century, in:the abolition of slavery. ' Vi el armis, four millions of human' beings were relieved from the shackles of bondage and made to walk in the image of their Maker — who, orthodoxically speaking, must thus be considered as of an ebony hue. For this grand performance to be heralded down the corridors of time, along with the escape of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage, the philanthropic, in after ages, will doubtless deify our 'mar-" tyred President and place his counselors upon pedestals of enduring marble, - Thus given the glory and the renown, consequent upon angelic' deeds, our duty, is not entirely accomplished.— There a.g%, other evils in the. social economy to be eradicated; other sins in the domestic world to be annihilated; other measures of human ouérage to be avenged. Need we refer to. it?", Is not the wail of {hiose who suffer like martyrdom ? Does not each household enfold it, as that of the traditionary skeleton? Need we refer, in thisenlightened age and generation, to that gigantic evil; that social blotch; that physical excressence, daily, hourly, minutely felt, and yet unappreciated by the hardened .masters and mistresses of society ? ‘ " I refer te the tyranny that is exer- . cised ove: wuus is called ‘female help,” in this land. I belzﬁg, Mr. Editor, to that 'unfortunate and down-trodden class, and I take this opportunity of expressing my thoughts through the, medium of your valuable paper. To do so understandingly to your readers, you will allow me to give a small portion of my brief, but exhausting experience. I am now nineteen years old, and of poor, but honest parents. At the early hg@of sixteenm I was put out to work ‘by[ a cruel stepmother, and have been forced, as it were, from pillar to post ever sinee. I have worked for sixteen different ‘families in the past three years, and every one of the women bossed me unmercifully, and wanted me to com-~ ply with such rules as these: TFirgt, wash my hands with soap before making the buscuits; make a fire three times a day in the kitchen stove; bring in wood; milk the cow and strain the milk. Second, not to sing more than sixteen times a day my favorite song—

. *lf you love me as I love you, ‘s No knife can cut our love in two.”. I Not-to have my beau stay later tha twelve o’clock, four times a week; nolé to go out more than six nights out of the seven; not always to have my time from Saturday noon until Monday morning; and not to leave my post when dny inmate of the house was sick, needing my attention. | Now, do you suppose that we American, free-born, young ladies are going to stand such a programme as this? It is worse than the black slaves of the South were ever treated. It istrue, we get pay, but what does the pay amount to when our rights are invaded? Fer one, I propose that the female help of the country, as one| man—llike the printers, railroad men ‘and others have done—shall sirike. Imr the expressive language of the po\'9l: ”“}Strike for your altars and your fires, | . Strike for the green graves oOf your gires, God and your native land,”

Let us band together as one. man, and demand that we shall do as we please;' work when we please, and be no longer the down-trodden slaves of women, j'who, because they happen to have got married—many of thein by accident—and happen to have a home and family to take care of, see]tv to tyrannize over those of their sex who in every respect are their superiors. ‘We are free-—free as the wind of heaven that kisses the cheek of an angel—free as the lightnings that play fitfully through the heavens—free as—anybody. Excuse haste and a bad pen, Mr. Editor, and believe me yours in the hope of a blessed immortality. ! : - A FREE WORKING GIRL. °

Hack, Hack! Cough, Cough! Coughis a symptom by which various diseased conditions df the throat, bronchial tubes and lungs manifest themselves. But whether it arises from the irritation produced in the throat and larynx by taking cold, from an attack of Bronchitis, from incipient ‘consumption, or various other causes, nothing will allay 'it more speedily lor cure it more permanently than Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.— It does not matter whether it be a recent attack, or a lingering cough, the Discovery is in either case equally] well adapted for its'relief and permanent cure. | In fact, it will cure a cough in one-half the time necessary to cure it with any other medicine, and it does it, not by drying it up, but by removing the cause, subduing the ‘irritation, and healing the affected parts. No {time should be lost in ‘commencing the use of a proper medi“cine for the relief of a cough, for unless this course is pursued, serious and dangerous disease of the lungs is liable to result. .
