His wife Polly, and the child cine years old, made up the family. His chief business was hunting, and his unerring rifle never failed to supply his . board and something over. His nearest neighbor was fifteen miles off, so he was little troubled with prying visitors. . -. It was early in the spring that Jacob started down the river with a boat load of furs -and skinB. He left Polly in charge of the premises, and he left with her, too, a light rifle and a brace of pistols.; She knew how to use the rifle, for never was she happier than when her husband patted her on the shoulder and said: 1; ' "" "Nobly done, Polly, xuy dear ; I could aot have done better myself." And he had occasion to say this with truth, too. :.. J acob - Burnap had been gone four days, when towards evening a horseman rode up to the hunter's door. lie was a small, muscular man, seme forty years Of age, and seemed inured to all hardships. As he sprang from the saddle, Polly made her appearance. , Ah, Polly, once more here," the new comer said, as he drew a well filled pair of saddle-bags from the back of his fatigued beast. Ye8, and I am glad to see you. Jacob has bten gone four d&ys, and time is getting heavy.' Jacob gone? Where ?" " Down the river with a boat load of furs." "Oh, yes. Well, you shall have the' company of Lant Morton for -one night at least ; so for tbe next : twelve hours you'll be safe." Oh I feel safe enough," returned the woman quickly, "only a little lonesome." ' " '" , Thus speaking Morton threw his sad-die-bags into the cabin and led his horse around to a low shed, where he made him fast and fed him. ' After this he returned to the dwelling' and entered, and was soon discussing the events of the time over arr ample supper. His hostess told him all that had transpired ' in the neighborhood since

EICIMOII

JUST AND FEAR NOT! LET ALL THE RICEIilOND, his last visit, and tbe visitor gave her all the ne ws of the eastern valley. Lant Morton had been mail carrier upon that route for several years, and not once had be passed to and fro without spending a night at Jacob Burnap's. In fact he was about the only regular visitor at tbe hunter's cabin, and although the intervals between his visits were long, yet he seemed a fixture to the place.Polly Burnap, just in the bloom of womanhood knew his gentle, generous, noj ble character, so she felt' perfectly " free and at home in his. presence., fi,:ariii?A ' Is it known on the route that your load is valuable ?" asked Polly, p --f " I 'think not- though, it may' be. -Still I am . well armed, and I fancy it would be a tough job for any of them to tackle old Morton. i i'sl.if . ' : Mo ? ' A man was' robbed on the creek a few days ago." ' . And the robbers have fled," added Morton relessly, and he "threw his mail bags after him." Morton went to bed at nine o'clock, s he was tired from his long ride.Polly had work to do, having neglected it while talking to ber guest, so when she had seen him safe at rest In tbe bed she drew her basket to a little table where the candle was and went to work upon some Clothing for her child, who was eoundly aleeping ut-ojie eornor. The old German clock upon the wall, with its great weight and twine strings all exposed, had struck ten ere Polly arose from her work. She had just pushed the basket beneath the table when the front door opened and two men entered. They were in their stockings, their shoes having been left outside. "Hah f uttered the foremost intruder. " Speak but one word above a whisper and you die in a moment. . Polly recovered from her quick terror and looked up. She saw two stout, wicked, ugly looking men, one of whom held a cocked pistol toward her. With a quickness of perception natural to her, she knew the pistol would not be fired if she held her peace, as that would make more noise than she could make, and further she recognized in the fore most a notorious villain, who bore the name of Dick Gallus. She had never seen him before, but the minute description her' husband had given of the man, led her to know him, and positively, too, for one big scar on the left cheek was mark enough. i What do you ask, gent rem en ? ask ed Polly, without betray iqsr the least fea-r ' ' : ; - - - ' " t ' :;4 We have come to, see the mail car rier," one replied in a hoarse whisper; "where is he ? Don't speak too loud." . "He is long: since asleep. Would it not do as well to see him in the morn- ' ing ? We can find vou a bed and lodg- ' ing." - " The fair hostess had said this for the , purpose of gaining time. She knew very well that those meu- had come to rob the carrier, and was equally sure I that they would murder him if they j could, and would in all probability put t her out of the way as well. They had evidently learned of the valuable load j be carried, and intended to carry it in his stead. , . "Iever mind his being asleep. Show j us where he is at once," roughly replied i Gallus in answer to Polly's last remark, f -'But l ean call him, good sirs," rea- ; soned the woman calmly, though there i was alarm in her soul. . " Call him ! call him !'! growled the villain with a fierce oath. "You call i him, and you will be called to another j world. Quick ! show us the- way." j The mild eye that could aim an un- ( erring bullet at the forrest beast did ' not even betray the 'thought of the wo- , man's soul, nor did a look tell her meaning. She was very pale but did not ; tremble. "This way, sirs," she whispered. And as she spoke turned towards the 1 door of the little bedroom pantry. She did not open it till both the men were ; close behind her. , ' "Don't you hear him breathe ?" "Yes," returned both villains. And they did hear a breathing but it was of the child close at hand. As they thus answered her, she threw the door open it opened inward. .The , men saw a dark void, but they pressed forward. In an instant Polly Burnap leaped back. With' all her power she : threw herself against tbe rear man and the next moment both the robbers lay sprawling at the bottom of the cellar. This had been the door opening to the deep excavation, and the only means - of egress was by a perpendicular ladder. : Could this have been moved, Polly would have pulled it up immediately, but it was spiked to its place and she must let it remain. To close the door would be useless, for she had no ready means to fasten it. So she did what she had resolved upon from the first ; she sprang to the fire place and sought the trusty rifle, and cocking it she moved towards the open door. She heard the curses of the villains as they reached the ladder, and she knew that one of them had found it. ; a " Back ! ' She cried, as she saw a head above the threshold. The candle upon the table threw but a dim light upon the spot, but it was sunicient. She saw the robber raise a pistol. ,. She bad a husband a child and had set . herself to save, the carrier. . With these ' thoughts dashing through her mind she , pulled the trigger. A sharp report went ringing through the house, and its

WAYME CO., IMlPsv echo was a deep groan front; .the cellar bottom. ;. :-r,. ; 'J 1-. Los Ere the second . robber could show, himself, Morton came rushing into the room with a pistol in each hand. "What is it?" he cried. 9 - "There ! there !" gasped Polly, point ing to the doorway, where a savage looking face had just presented itself. . , Lant Morton had been to much used to danger to wastemuch time in conjecture, and immediately shot the villain dead, who fell with a heavy sound upon the cellar floor., t . -v . ,., Are' there any more ? ' he. asked, cocking his pistol. - '" Are there any the carrier as Pollv more ?" remarked hesitated. ' Yes that was it.',' " Yes, yes I did And as soon as the noble woman had recovered sufficiently, she told him the whole storyvr r?a; w' f r Morton expressed his thoughts as best he could; but after all,. the moisture of his light eye, the changing of his countenance, and very lack of language, told her more than words could have done. . v ' ... . After due deliberation it was decided that the bodies should remain there till morning. So the cellar door was shut, the front door bolted, and they prepared to retire ; but for the rest of the night, Morton made his bed upon the floor of the large room. In the morning, just as the carrier was dressed, there was a rap on the door accompanied by a voice he knew full well. He hastened to open the door, and gave entrance to Jacob Burnap. The hunter had met a party of traders at Lewisburg, and disposed of all his skins to them, thus finishing his journey six days earlier than he had anticipated. Polly was soon upon her husband's bosom, and when he had told then his own st,ory, Morton gave him the adventure. Jacob was at first incredulous, but when he had seen" the bodies he was satisfied. . "Polly, my jewel," he said, placing his arm around her neck, "I am proud oi you, I love you more aud morefor every dav I find you more and more to love?" ' And then turning to Morton he added "What do you think of such a wife ?" "Ah," returned the guest with deep feeling, "if poor Lant Morton had such a wife ho wouldn't be a mail carrier." When Morton left, he was directed to stop at the first settlement, and state to tho officers what had happened, and he promised to do so. He once more blessed the brave woman who had saved his life, and then set out. Late in the afternoon : two officers arrived at the cabin, and when they were shown , the dead bodies, at once proposed to remove them. And ere a week passed, the whole settlement blessed the Border Heroine' for the work she had done. A Rare Ixstancb or Dbvotkd Friendship. The Louisville Courier of November 25, says : The four unfortunate Misses Morgan, who ' were burned to death by the - dreadful accident on the railroad near Cincinnati, ou Thursday morning last, were ladies of education, refinement, goodness and respectability, and, as we have already stated, daugh ters of the late Mr. Benjamin Morgan, formerly of the firm of Price & Morgan, merchants in Philadelphia, and afterwards President of the Bank of Louisiana, at New Orleans, and interested in large sugar estates. At the time Messrs. Price & Morgan dissolved partnership they each possessed a handsome fortune, and they mutually agreed that in case of pecuniary misfortune or loss befalling either of them, the other, if still in good circumstances, was to share his property with the unfortuaate one. Many years , afterwards Mr. Chandler Price failed in Philadelphia, and MrBenjamin Morgan transferred to him a fine row of buildings on Tchoupitoulas street. New Orleans. - Some years after. and about . the time of Mr. Morgan's death, the latter became much embar rassed by endorsements for his acquaintances. Mr. Price having in the mean time accumulated another fortune, after the death of his old partner reconveyed the same valuable property on Tchoupi toulas street to Mr. Morgan's children. This is one of the rare instances in this life of faithful, honorable and undying friendship, and quite as extraordinary as that of all four of the daughters should be s killed at one fell swoop, a thousand miles from home. A Cleveland paper says: Balph Wal do Emmerson's lecture on eloquence re minded us of the way it is said vessels are built on the St. Lawrence by the mile, and then cut off to suit orders. Mr. Emerson turns over about six sheets where he reads one, and it is of no con sequence where his - turning over stops ; one place to splice on, or to leave off, is just as good as another. His lecture. called "No Eloquence," or by any other name, would pass as well, while, no doubt, from : that cord of manuscript before him, he could extract any requir ed number of lectures, on any required subjects, just as a magician can draw all sorts of liquors, on demand, from the same bottle. Lectures now-a days are like , ready made doors and windows made by machinery, and adapted to any kind of frame ; if they rattle in tbe frame it is not to bs wondered at. 1 i XT i

j j DECJ 26.: 67. Gen. Grant's Views on the President's Removals. The "PrivteV Letter Protesting Against the' Sn.pensio ef Secretary StaatoM r.es. SheridsuB ' Indorse, met ' JtsurtisJ .Law lor Texas RecosBBBf !.- , Washington, Dec. 17. The Speaker laid before the House to-day a communication from. Gen. Grant inclosing the correspondence. relating to the removal of the Hon Edwin M. Stanton ns Secretaryof War, and ; also the removal of Gens., Sheridan and . Sickles, Nearly all the correspondence has heretofore been published, but the following is the private letter to the President from Gen. Grant about which so much : curiosity has been expressed: rn : 1o . i t. fPrivate.1 ' i " - . .. j Headquarters abut 6w the TJ. S., Y Washington, D. C., Aug. 11, 1867 Tu His Excellency, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States: Sir: I take the liberty of addressing you privately on the subject of tbe con versation which we had this, morning. feeling, as I do, the great danger to the welfare of the country should you carry out the designs then expressed: - First: On the subject of the displacement of the Secretary of War, his re moval cannot be effected ' against his will without the consent of the Senate It was but a short time since the United States Senate was in session, and why not then have asked for hi9 removal if it was desired? It certainly was the in tention of the legislative branch of the Government to place a Cabinet Minister beyond the power of the Executive re moval ; and it is pretty well understood that, so far as Cabinet Ministers are affected by the " terms of the Office bill, it was intended specially to protect the Secretary of War whom the country felt great confidence in. The meaning of the law may be explained away by an astute lawyer, but common sense and the views of loyal people will eive to it the effect intended by its framers. Second: On the subject of the removal of the very able Commander of the Fifth Military District, let me ask you to con sider the effect it would have upon the public. He is universally and deserved ly beloved by the people who sustained this Government through its trials, and feared by those who would still be enemies of the Government. It fell to tbe lot of but few men to do as much against an armed enemy as Gen. Sheridan did during the rebellion, and it is Within the scope of the ability of but few in this or any other country to do what he has. His civil administration has given equal satisfaction. He has had difficulties to contend with which no other - District Commander has encountered, : Almost, if not quite, from tbe day he was ap pointed District Commander to the present time, tbe press has given out that he was to be removed ; that the Ad ministration was dissatisfied with him This has emboldened the opponents of the laws of Congress within his com mand to oppose him in every way in their power, and has rendered necessary measures which otherwise might never have beeu necessary. In conclusion, allow me to say as a friend, desiring peace and quiet, the welfare of the whole country North and South, that it is my opinion, more than the loyal people of this country (I mean those who supported the Government during the great Rebellion) will quietly submit to, o see the very man of all others who they have expressed their confidence in, removed. I would not have taken the liberty of addressing the Executive of the United States thus, but lor tho conversation on the subject alluded to in this letter, and from a sense of duty, feeling that I know I am right in this matter. With great respect, your obedient servant, U. S. GRANT, General. Among the papers is a letter to Gen. Grant from Major Gen. Sheridan, dated New Orleans, Jan. 25, 1867, in relation to matters in Texas, particularly referring to the condition of Union men and freedmen in different parts of the State, which he says is truly horrible. He says the Government " is denounced, freedmen are shot, and Union men are persecuted if they have the temerity to express their opinion. This letter Gen. Grant, under date "Headquarters, Army of the United States, Jan. 29, 1867," in dorses as follows: "Respectfully forwarded to the Secre tory of War. Attention is invited to that portion of "the within communication which refers to the condition of the Union men and freedmen in Texas, and to the powerlessness of the military, in the present state of affairs, to afford them protection. Even tbe moral effect of the presence of troops is passing away,, and a few days ago a squad of soldiers on duty waa fired on by citizens in Brownsville. In my opinion the great number of murders of Union men and freedmen, in Texas, not only, as a rule,, unpunished, but uninvestigated, constitute, . practically, a state ot insur rection; and, believing it to be the province and duty or every good Government to afford protection to tbe lives, liberty, and property of her crtizens. I would recommend the declaration of martial , law in Texas, to secure these. The necessity for governing any portion of our territory by martial law is to be deplored. If resorted to, it should be limited in its authority, and should leave all local - authorities and civil tribunals free and. unobstructed until they prove their inefficiency or unwillingness to perform their duties. ' Martial law would 1 give security (or comparatively so) to all classes of citizens, without regard to race, color, or political opinions, and could , be continued until society was capable of protecting itself, or until the

S, GRANT, General." : No action was had by tbe civil authorities upon . the . foregoing ; recommendation. , .,' . .! Siuc Within the last: twenty-five years, more than one hundred millions of dollars have been paid, in the shape of du ties, upon raw silk imported into the United States. , This ; will give a fair idea of the extent to which the manufacture of, silk has-been' carried : in this country . Patterson and ; Newark, New Jersey, are the principal , seats of silk manufacturing in this country, con taining several extensive factories and the business is carried on . to some extent in Pennsylvania and the New England States. In 1860 the annual production of manufactured, silk in the United States was estimated at $2,000,000, but it has no-doubt largely increased by this time. Tbe process of working up silk into tram organzine, sewing silks and machine twist, trimmings, cords and tassels, fringes and gimps, neck ties, beltings, upholstering goods, gauzes, K.irsnets, heavy dress goods, velvets and plushes, and mixed goods, requires great skill, but has met with success , and if we could obtain a sufficient quantity of the raw . material without high duties for it, the business could hardly fail to become an important one. Silk is originally a Chinese manufacture, but, like most of the ancient arts, its origin is wrapped in the mists of obscurity. It was in the course of time transferred to Greece, and after flourish-. ing in that country awhile, spread to Italy, where it became one of the leading staples of export. Tbe Italians having constructed primitive but ingenious machines for weaving the cloth, held in their hands, for a long period, a firm monopoly of the manufacture. But at length, it is said, a British artist went to Italy, bribed a monk who had access to a manufactory, and in one night made full drawings of the machinery, which he took to England, and thus broke up the monopoly. But in the latter country, as in the United States, silk culture and manufacture has, not made much progress.'..'.; ,r5.. rZ .,r.v., v . The silk imported into our own country for manufacturing , purposes comes mainly from India, China, and Japan, while the elegant fabrics of silk are imported principally from France. The annual foreign trade balances against us are largely the result of heavy imports of thoso costly fabrics," and if we succeed in developing an industry that shall ultimately obviate the necessity of going abroad for our silks, our country will be benefitted to the extent of many millions of dollars annually. We are accustomed to think that we are a great manufacturing people, but our large establishments, particularly in the working of metals, are entirely overshadowed by some of the huge English workshops. And even the English are left behind now, and little Prussia, which has latterly grown to be great Prussia, boasts an establishment for the working of steel alone, which surpasses any general manufactory in the world. Krupp, the steel king of Essen, has within the past forty years built up what is in effect a town by itself as a workshop. He employs 10,000 workmen ; add to them their wives and children, and there is almost a respectable population. Last year he tnrned out 62,500 tons of cast steel, valued at 87,500,000, and involv ing a daily consumption of 1,000 tons of coal. Of guns alone he has delivered 3,500 altogether, valued at $5,250,000. Such facts as these should make us ashamed of the restricted use we are able to make of the vast resources confided to our hands. N. Y. Times. Kiixino Sheep fob thbib Pelts. We are accustomed to look upon the killing of cattle in Central and South America, for their hides, as a waste of food deserving the ' severest censure. What we deprecate there, is now carried on nearer home, substituting sheep fori cattle.- . During the excitement on the wool question a few years ago, the Was- ; tern farmers rushed, into sheep raising; i the most profitable branch of hns- i bandry, but now find, with the return of lower , prices for wool, and the high! prices of grain and hay, that there is no money in their flocks, hence are reduc ing them heavily. Finding the returns of sales made here to no more than cover the value of the pelts and .expenses in some cases falling much below, very thin lots having j been sold at less than' $1 per bead in our glutted markets they 'have now commmenced killing them for' their skins' being determined upon a reduction. To such an extent is this: being carried that there is every' prospect of a future scarcity in the very: places where they are now so abundant. .Tribune f ... , i-;, MW eTT iti-3 Sdl

He may know nothing of the modern geography of his own country ; he may no nothing of the history of England. I knew an instance not Jong ago of a gentleman who had attained high honors at th University, and who became a contributor to a periodical, in which it was suggested that be should illustrate some fact by a reference to Lord Melbourne's Ministry.

We have, I here say boldly, a literature unpsvralled in the world. Which of our great classics! authors is a young man required to read In order to attain, the highest honors our educational institutions can give him ? He studies in the most minnte manner the ancient writings of Rome or Greece. " But as for Chaucer and Spencer, or the earlier class ics, the old dramatists, or the writers of the reigns of ' Queen Elizabeth and Charles I, he knows nothing of them, and the consequence is that the language ia impoverished, and the noble old language of our forefathers drops out of use, while the minds of our young men are employed instead of stringing together verses of Latin poets learned by heart, and making them into execrable hexameters. Laughter and cheers. Then as for modern languages. I have been with a party of half a dozen first-class Oxford gentlemen on the Continent, and not one spoke a word ' of French or German, and If the waiters had had not been better educated that we - Laughter and applause and known some other languages besided their native one. we mitrht all have atarvad. rinafiter and applause That is not nearly all, but that is enough. .
