"What business have they to be so frightfully ^punctual ? Here I stopped for a moment ito talk to Jenks, who has brought over ffche last new neck-tie, and—" " Ha, ha! , You'd better run, old boy; I'll have the first chance at the heiress." I looked up and saw Ned laughing at me. Confound the fellow! How handsome lie looked!

Fred laughed louder than ever..

She is going in the bask way." . "All the same. She'll tell the heiress what you said," persisted-Fred, and would talk of nothing ejse -till Mr. Lan'g- " worth and his family appeared, which -they only did after along delay. ■ At the first word 'he uttered I cast .a glanq© of -ja-iumph at'J^efl,.. rjli§ little, plainly- dressed woman—who, by-the-by, was an insipidly-pretty person, with biiie <eyes, regular features and brown hair—was a Miss Jenny, a sort of eoffiepaiiioii to Miss Langworth, who piweiH to be about five-feet-ten, thin, patte^ fcdgh-nosed, dashing," and a little uadet 30. Of com'se, I immediately opened a conversation with her, leaving it to Fred to do the agreeable to the rnilk-and- water Miss Jenny. "Youhave a charming retreat, Miss Langworth." " Oh ! yes, sir. Hain't you never saw it before?" early, Miss Langworth was independent "of grammar; but I admired her "the more. It was only a proof that she "was unsophisticated and not spoiled by the world. "I am a stronger here; but I should think this suoh a spot as Lamb, the great poet, -would have Joyed." I hasarded"thistat a venture, for I am not great in the poetical hue ; but Iwas sure she wouldn't find me out if I did make a blunder. The reply was, however, somewhat unexpected. "Lamb ! why, he used to live down here. He was the butcher, and we used always to be alaughin' about his name." I saw Fred and Miss Jenny smile, and proposed a walk in the garden, where iMIss Langworth murdered the Queen's English at lier own sweet discretion, and I made tore at mine, at which she didn't blush (though I do believe she tried to), but giggled in such an encouraging man- net that I think I should have proposed on. the spot, if the dressing-bell had not sounded at that moment. "Splendid, ain't she?" said I, enthusiastically, to Fred. "Baw-boned, rather," said Fred, doubtfully. "Eaw-ooned! She's a perfect Juno." '' She's r o chicken. " 5' Own up, old boy—you're jealous." " Not a bit of it. That little Miss Jenny.is charming, modest, intelligent, and pretty." " Everyone to his taste. Mine, I confess, is more exalted." "If you refer to herheight, I agree with yon." " There goes the dinner-bell." " Then you'd better hurry up, Jim. It takes you about half an hour to tie that cravat." And away Avent Fred, laughing maliciously. He would take the vacant seat by Miss Langworth, of course. I should be" unbecomingly red in, the face—rny cravat would be a bungle—my left whisker wouldn't look like a breakfast roll, and—down went the jar with the new pomade. I didn't swear, for it isn't gentlemanly; but I said something forcible about the jar, and went down to the dining- room. "There my worst fears were realized. Fred was helping Miss Langworth to gravy, as I entered, and the only empty chair was by Miss Jenny. ■" It struck me, as I seated myself, that jip^sjx^Uiad^thcQiviuthia- um&mmwk. Txvto soinstl-xixigoj: a ilxttteT. She laased. her hancUfS-'cliieFto her face, ana when- she asked for potatoes I fancied that being her voice faltered, I was annoyed. If it had been in a country farin-house, and nobody else around, I might have noticed her; but, with Miss Langworth opposite, I was surprised that she 'evinced no more discretion. It was not my fault if I was fascinating; and, if my clothes did fit well, it was not agreeable to have impoverished young females falling in love with me. I believe she made some remark'about the .opera, but I turned my head to talk to &■.- Langworth.- I wpulfl not sw.ear to it, but I think I saw her drop her" 'handkerchief. I could take my oath, however, that Jim Jonquil didn't pick it up. After dinner, we adjourned to the bowling-saloon, which Mr. Langwofth had built in the rear of his house. "Not bad, is it?" said I to Fred. " Only I mean to have a windoAV let in there—it's not Hght enough." I heard a suppressed titter behind me, and for a moment fancied that Miss Langworth had overheard me; but it was only Miss Jenny, who seemed to have an unconquerable propensity to burst out into causeless fits of laughter. I stepped past her to Miss Langworth, foisl was determined Fre,d should not outwit me this time. "Miss Langworth, shall we have a game? We can play against Fred and your—friend." Miss Langworth acceded graciously, and I instructed her in the mysteries of counting up; for, strange to say, she knew nothing about it; and I got the balls, and I placed them in her somewhat bony hands, and I cried bravo when she knocked down a pin, and looked out bf the comer of my eye to see the other little woman roll, which she did like a Troian. I must coiife&s I was disconcerted; biit I reflected that bowling was a somewhat masculine accomplishment, and that ;the lady who. could make a ten- strike might be able to. knock her husband down with equgl grace and vigor. .:= ;Bu't, of eourse^Miss, Langworth w^s. a proficient in music, oTwhieh I am fond. -;. ."No," she said, "I kin neither play ndr sing—I couldn't never abear it." Miss Jenny could,.:however; and straightwa/ executed one of Beethoven's sonatas.in masterly styla. Fred Was in raptures. But I talked all the more: to Miss Langworth, who told me "she was not cold-hearted, but she Avas afraid to marry, because everybody knew her pa would hand her over $500,000 on her wedding-day, and she was afraid they wanted her for her money. Dear creature, how I loved her—how I burned to assure her of my disinterested affection!:: How I longed to ask her to fly with me to some green isle (Avith $500,000 in her pocket), and live, " the world forgetting-, by the Avorld forgot," in arbf own-stone palace, in that remote corner of the beautiful isle of Manhattan knoAvn as Fifth avenue. What orders I'd give Granch, my tailor! What a team I'd chive ! - And Avouldn't I have a yacht, and belong to a club/and drink flve:bottle3 of champagne at dinner every day ! All tliis happiness within my grasp, and nothing needed to secure but the'l momentary ab-once of Fred and that disagreeable Miss Jenny, who" was tittering again. "The ladies propose a sail," said Fred. "Will you go, Jim?" Of course I would; and, wrapping Miss Langworth in a shawl, for the day was cool, we started down a winding path shaded by overarching trees, and, descending .a few stone steps, found ourselves on a, fine gravelly beach, on which lay the boat high and dry. We soon gobher off—that is, Fred did, for he was a" stalwart fellow, and I didn't Avish tq soil my new pantaloons—and we I lielpecTtke ladies* in$Q {foe l>oat; then I discovered that Miss Langworth had a large ankle, but it failed to dampen my love. I scorned to be influenced by such worldly considerations, and I grew even more deA'oted to Miss Langworth, who leaned up heavily against me, AvhileFred and Miss Jenny raved. The last-mentioned lady, after a short time, proposed that Ave should run the boat up in a little inlet, and mako our way home by another and more circuitous route, the whole distance about two miles. '' She wants Fred to pop tho question," I thought. "Poor fellow! But I'm obliged to her; I shall have a chance to propose to Miss Langworth ;" and so I seconded the move Avith ardor. Fred agreed, of course, and Miss LangAvorth said, '.'La, yes! she didn't care;" and, getting otit, thelady andnrf-' self walked on slowly behind Fred-ahd Miss Jenny, who were speedily out of sight. . "■■ ■■• • . .-■■■-'- Now was my time. " How beautiful all this is !" said I, " and yet it makes me sad, Miss Langworth." " Dear me, does it give you the rheumatism ? Folks do say it's damp here, but I never feel it." "Bheumatism of the .heart, Miss Langworth," I answered. " To-morroAV I leave you; should I ever (Avhich is improbable) revisit this spot, on whose arm should I find you leaning then ?" ' Miss Langworth said, archly, she was sure she couldn't tell. "A husband's, perhaps," I continued, in my deepest bass voice ; some fortunate being, Avho, unlike me, may be esteemed Avorthy to possess that priceless treasure"—I meant the . five hundred thousand dollars; but -1 said—"your heart.". ' . } "I shall never marry," she said, faintly. "Oh, say not so," I cried, about to sink on one knee ; but, looking down, I saw that it was muddy. " Say not so, brightest and best of beings. Drive not to despair (seizing her hand) ono who loves you so fondly. Give me bufc the faintest gleam of hope—say but that you -will be mine, after years of toil shall have enabled me to ask your hand of your father, and I Avill go forth more joyfully than ever—ever horse went to water." That wasn't very poetical; but I could think of nothing else. " Speak, dearest, —only one word." Miss Langworth had hidden her face behind her handkerchief; but gasped out: "Yes, deal- Jim; ask pa right away. He won't want you to go out^md fight, and ail that sort of thing," "Blessed innocent! he coul d not "wish it less than I did." But it was only after long persuasion that I consented to forego my resolution to "win name and fame, and ask her pa at once. The old gentleman was in the library, and just as I entered I met Fred coming out. I gave him a nod and a Avink, 'and, walking up to Mr. Langworth, informed lief willingness to be tinitedwith mean1 »tlle>JjorLda^,o£., Kbl-r- rEncttaAmoryv. jbjicL _ ie— spectfully implored his blessing. "lam sorry, Mr. Jonquil," said the old gentleman, looking at me rather quizzically, "but I have just promised her to your friend, Mr. Drummond." "Impossible !" I exclaimed. " I have this moment left her, and, if you will permit me, I will bring her, that you may hear my statement confirmed from her OAvn lips." And, running Out, I found and conducted the fair lady to her father in an exceedingly short time. "Ibeg your pardon, Mr. Jonquil," said the old gentleman, as soon as he saw her. " I was speaking of my daughter, Nellie, whom I have promised to your friend. But, as for this lady, marry her as soon as you please; my jurisdiction does not extend to my daughter's seamstress." Ifc was too horrible. I rushed madly out of the house. The little plainly- dressed woman, Avhom I had nearly knocked down and treated since with such perseveringjuid sccornful neglect, was no other than Nellie Langworth— Formal Acceptance of the EepuWi- can Nominee for Vice President. » A.U Able and Eloquent Presentation of the Questions at Issue. who, OA'erhearing our conversation on the boat, had chosen to revenge herself by substituting the long, lean, ugly, awkward creature Avith Avhom I had been playing the fool for her sweet little self. ' I left for toAvn in the next train, where I shortly after received an invitation to her wedding with Fred. I leave it to the reader to guess if I went. Population and Production. It is the general belief that the new ■census Avill show a total population of not less than 49,000,000, and probably 50,000,000. In round numbers, the population of all the States* and Territories in-1870 was 38,500,000. If we have '50,000,000 now, the increase in ten years was 11,500,000, or very nearly 30 per cent. (29.87). Let us call it 30 per cent. It is an enormous increase upon so vast a capital as 38,500,000, and if it can be kept up during the next ten years the population of the United States will, in 1890, have reached 65,000,000, Avhich is' as much as the population of France and Italy combined. But our increase in wealth and production is far greater. In 1870 we had 52,900 miles of railroad against 86,900 in 1880, an increase of iO per cent. Our exports in 1870 amounted to $529,000,000, against $730,000,000 in 1879—an increase of 38 per cent. The increase in coal production from 1869* to 1878 was over 60 per cent. Our agricultural exports in 1868 amounted to $320,000,,000; in 1873 to $592,000,000— increase, 85 per cent. The cereal products of the country in 1868 aggregated 1,450,789,000 bushels, including Indian corn. Ih.1878 the total was 2,368,000,- 000—an increase of 68 per cent. In 1865 we produced- but.-; 148,500,000 bushels of AVheat. In 1879 the production .of-:. tiiis \ cereal Avas 440,000,000 bushelk The increase in fourteen years Was nearly 200 per cent,, or 16j$fef cent, per year. From 1870 to 1878 the: cotton yieltl rose from 3,000,000 to 5,216,000— an increase of 70 per cent, in eight years, or to the fate of nearly;:9 .per centa year. The",expahsion of American manufacture has kept pace-Avith increase in agricultural production. Philadelphia, Pittsburg, and Lowell now rank among tbfe greatest manufacturing cities in the World. ■ '■' ■'■■ - Oatmeal. Give the cliildren oatmeal at least once a day.

Deae Sib : I accept tho petition assigned me by the great party whoso action Jail'announce* UtiiEt acceptance implies the approval of the principles declared l>y tho convention, bufcxeeeiitnsag^po?53iitsflie.,to add" some expression, ol my own views. The right an^dnty to secure honesty jmcl order in popular elections J?,* matter.-so^jtal that it must stand in tho frontl The authority of the National Government to preserve from fraud and forpe the olections at which, its. own officers axe chosen is a chief point on Which the two parties are plainly and intensely opposed. The acts of Congress for ten years have, in. Nfew Tori and elsewhe e, done mncli to curb violence and wrong to wliich the ballot and count have been again and again • subjected, sometimes despoiling great cities, sometimes stifling the -voice of a whole State, often seating not only in Congr&'s, but on the bench and in legislatures numbers of moa neA'er phosen-bythe people. The Democratic party since gaimng*posa6ssi£jis6£±he two bouses of Congress has made th'ege.iaws the object of bitter, ceaseless as^aulf, and; d&spite all resistance, haS' hedged thein Avifn" restrictions, cunningly contrived.- to baffle and paralyze them. This aggressive majority boldly attempted to .extort from the Executive his approval of van- M3us enactments destructive of these election laws -by revolutionary • throats <• that - a - constitutional' exercise of the Y6f&-power would be punished .by Avithholding appropria- ^tions necessary to carry on the GfCEvermnent. and th'ose jthreat8x6re actually carried out by .refusingjieeded appropriations and-,by,forcmg an eStra session of Congress, lasting fof months .'and resulting" in'conde'ssions to tma;jisurping demand which are likely in many Stafea-to subject the majority to the lawless AviE'of a^htnorr ity. Ominous signs of public disappf bvaf alono subdued this arrogant po.wer int0''$ sullen Sm? ..render for the time being, of part qf "its"'do; mands. The Eepublican party hair strongly ' approved the stern refusal of its Representatives- to suffer-the overthrow of statutes .believed to* be. salutary and ""just. "^ It -has always", insisted,- and now insists, thafc the Government of ,the United States of America is empowered and in duty bound fo effectually protect the elections denoted by the con- .stitution as national.. More than this,, the Eepublican party holds as the cardinal point in its , breed- that" the" Government •|h9tfldr, by every .means lmown to the- constitution).-protect all •American citizens everywhere in the full enjoy- ' ment of their civil and pplitical'rights. As a great part of its work of reconstruction theEo- publican party gave the ballot to the emancipated slave* as his right and defense. 7 A large ."increase in the number of members of Cpjgress and'the Electoral College -from the^'iqrmer slave-holding States was the' immediate result. The . history .of rgcent; yerrs • abounds in evidence that inmanTfA^ays and in. many places, especially where their.numbeif has . been great enough to endanger JDetnocratic control, the very men by whose elevation to citizenship this increasenf representalion.was effected Jiave'been debarred jind r'ojjb'ed of theii'vokfe and their vote. ■ It is' tru«that no !

It is a suggestive and startling thought that the increased power derived from the enfranchisement of a race now denied its share in governing the country, wielded by those who lately sought the overthrow of tho Government, is now the sole reliance to defeat the party which represented tho sovereignty and nationality of the American people in the greatest crisis of our history. Eepublicans cherish none of the resentments which may have animated them during the actual conflict of arms. They long for a full and'real reconciliation between the sections which were needlessly and lamentably at strife. They sincerely offer the hand of good Avill, but they ask in return a pledge of good faith. Thoy deeply feel that the party whose career is go illustrious in the great and patriotic achievement will not fulfill its destiny until peace and prosperity are established in all the land; nor until liberty of thought, conscience, and action, and equality of opportunity shall not be merely cold formalities of statute, but living'birthrights, which the humble may confidently claim and the powerful dare not deny. The resolution referring to the public service seems to me deserving, of "appro yal. Surely, no man should be the incumbent of an office, the duties of whicli he is for a cause unfit to perform, who is lacking iu ability, fidelity, or integrity, Avhich a proper administration of such an office demands. This sentiment would doubtless meet with general acquiescence, but opinion has been evidently divided upon tho wisdom and practicability of tho various reformatory schemes which have been suggested, and of certam proposed regulations governing appointments to public office. Tho efficiency of such regulations has been distrusted mainly because thoy havo seemed to exalt mere educational and abstract tests above the general businoss capacity, and even special fitness for the particular work in hand. It seems to me that the rules wMch should be applied to the management of the public service may be properly conformed in the main to such as regulate the conduct of successful privato business. Original appointments should be made upon ascertained fitness. The tenure of office should be stable. Positions of responsibility should, so far as practicable, be filled by the promotion of worthy and efficient officers. The investigation of all complaints and tho punishment of all official misconduct should be prompt and thorough. These views, which I have long held, repeatedly declared, asid uniformly applied, when called upon to act, I find embodied in the resolution, which, of course, I approve. ^_ I will add that by the acceptance of public office, whether high or low. one does not, in my judgment, escape any of his responsibility ob a citizen, or lose or impair any of liis rights as a citizen,: and' that he shpuld enjoy absolute liberty to think and sjieak and act in politicalmat- ters,'according to his" own Will' and conscience, provided only that he honorably; faithfully and fully, discharge his official duties. come which and past count havo in: There ^ ^ __ sion ilufb exdfls&taufc .claims upon ilio'pubiic i qua^ters-hera contain, a-'^ood^al of in- lo™S3&^^^ terestmoolM<*l li^^tion, which "is in Condi's Trdthto the past four years,■■yrouldi 5 perhaps nlore valuqblfe a3:ti.QHG ofit^was be suceffofujlj-urged if• ihe Bcniocratic party - -..™-*r.v-r>^-k1ini+iftTr- shoiddJmcceMi iii implementing ite presedtf ^vntten for pubitcsitidn.. controifef i2i£ National Legislature by electing t - WiMeld S.

Our paper currency iB now as good as gold, and silver is performing its legitimate functions for the pur- • pose of change. The principles which should govern the relations of these elements of currency are simple and clear. There must be no deteriorated coin, no depreciated paper, and every dollar, whether of metal or paper, should stand the test of the world's fixed standard. The value of popular education can hardly be overstated. Although its interests must of necessity be chiefly confided to the voluntary effort and individual action of the several Btates, they should be encouraged, so far as the constitution permits, by the generous cooperation of the "National Government. The interests of the whole country demand that the advantages of om* common-school Bystem should be brought within the reach of every citizen, and that no revenues of the nation or States should be devoted to the support of sectarian Bchools. Such changes should be made in the prosent tariff and system of taxation as Avill relieve any overburdened industry or class, and enable our manufacturers and artisans to compete successfully with those of' other lands. The Government should aid works of internal improvement, national in their character, and should promote the development of our Avater-courses and harbors wherever the general interests of commerce require. I*pur years ago, as now, the nation stood on the threshold of a Presidential election; the Bepublican party, in soliciting continuance g^tts ascendency, founded its hope of supftesS^ot upon its promises, but upon its history.' Its subsequent course has been such as to strengthen claims which it then made to the confidence and support of the country1. On the other hand, considerations more urgent than have ever before existed forbid the accession of it's opponents to power. Their Renouncing the Democracy. At a, rousing Bepublican meeting at Lansing, Mich., the Lansing Garfield and Arthur Guards were organized Avith much enthusiasm. Judge William H. Pinckney, for many years a Democrat, and late a Greenbacker, was present, signed the constitution and donned the badges. He Avas heartily cheered, and in response said: "I shall vote and -work for the Bepublican party, because I* think they represent the party of justice and equity." The nomination of Hancock was the thinnest kind of a subterfuge; if elected he Avould be controlled and manipulated by South- em politicians, and would be literally under their control, on account of his lack ol experience in civil and political life. "H he (Pinckney). lived his voice should be heard many times in the coming cajnpaign, and he should give forth no uncertain sound. He Avas a Garfield andAithur man. At the close of-his speed he was again loudly applauded.r Mr. Paickney is a forcible and eloquent speaker, and is heartily welcomed to the Bepullican ranks. —Jidge P. A. Orton, of the banking firm of Orton, Otis & Co., at Darlington, Yis.. and one of the most distinguished members of the Wisconsin bar, has renounced the Democratic party, with Athich he has always affiliated, and declaims his intention, in a manly and spirital letter, to vote and use his influence |o elect the Presidential ticket nomiTjited by the Bepublicans at the Chicajo Convention. Judge Orton has a larg} folio-wing in Southern Wisconsin amon|.the Democrats, and will, undoubtedly, induce many of his old patriotic associates to join Avith him in supporting Garfield and Arthur.

Tlie Alleged Proposal for Uie Army to March Tfpon WasHington. anel JDc- posc Iiincoln. and Stanton. [From Uie Buffalo Express.] In yesterday's JEJxjjress there Was a brief editorial comment upon a statements :from the "Baltimore American touching tho loyalty of Gen. Hancodk at .the most critical emergency of the war. 'The JExpress' is able to furnish some information Avhich tends to corroborate the American's statement. A gentleman residing in tliis city was a member of Butterfield's old staff, serving at the Fifth corps headquarters when the order Avas promulgated relieving Gen.. McClellan from the command of the Army of the Potomac. This gentleman remembers—probably can never forget— the intense excitement and dissatisfaction that prevailed among McClellan's friends and admirers, numbering, in fact, nearly the wUole of that army. Many of the ofiicers of the staff and line met at headquarters, and there was a jgreat deal of wild talk among them. Gen. Hancock used the .most violent language. He said that the peojile ought to' liold indignation meetings in 'every toAvn and hamlet, and pas'J resolutions denouncing Lincoln for removing.., McClellan, and demanding, his restoration to the command. Stimulated by" Hancock's conspicuous example,'. spine of the younger officers were lopdly in favor of doing all sorts of rash, things. . They wanted a leader who would march the army to Washington, depose President Lincoln, and drive .Congress out of the two houses. The threatened insubordination "Became so imminent that Gen. Burnside, Avho superseded McClellan, was reluctantly obliged to take notice of it. He was heard to say that, while he regretted the change, and deemed Gen. McClellan much better fitted for the command than liimself, he should leave staff officers at those headquarters Anith orders to arrest any one who should utter anymore such treasonable sentiments. One arrest was made. Such was the open talk at headquarters. Gen. Hancock's extreme partisanship in McClellan's behalf was not disguised. But whether all this inflammatory public language was followed by a ref/ular council of the leading officers who were McClellan's friends is more than oirr informant can say. It is very likely. Certain it is that the revolutionary programme sketched in the American's statement, and attributed to Hancock in the alleged council, is 'identical Ayith what was loudly threatened at tiie regular meeting of officers at which our friend was present.

I have mislaid'or lost ray copy of .fhe evidence taken by the" Credit Mobilier investigating Committee and their leport, and, although I have a very clear, recollection of the general features of the whole Blatter, I should not attempt to say anything-in regard to details- witiiont a reperusal of the* volume; But iif I had it before xne it does not seem tome that" there is occasion or need tbat I should review it for the purpose Of replying to such attacks on Gen.

The transactions of Mr. Ames in CreditMobilier stock Were more than a dozen ,vears ago ; the full investigation of. the matter by the committee of .which I was Chairman was over eight years ]ago.

Saving nothing in Tegard to any.other- man, I thfaik I may most ttuthfully say ihat thispwHic and popular judgment fully and absolutely acquitted Genj Garfield of all -wrong, eithesr inaction or intent, inrelation to the matted. No man could havti been'continued in pub- ■fe life, and constantly risen in public standing and . in the public estimation by the "consent and 'approval of the best men of both parties as Gen.

Appointed Military Grovernor of the District of Louisiana and Texas'inl867, Gen. Hancock exhibited his rebel proclivities in the most glaring light. The law of ^Congress under Avhich he was appointed declared that "■ the Governments | then ■existing in the rebel 'States of Lowjfaiana and Texas were not legal SJate Governments." But, in assuming command of the district, Gen. Hancock utterly ignored this law of Congress, declaring, in General Order No. 40, that: The General commanding is gratified to learn that peace and quiet reign in this department. ItAvillbehis purpose'to preserve this condition of things. As a means to this great en^ he regards the maintenance of the civil "authorities in the faithful execution of tho laws as the most efficient under existing 'Circumstances. Commenting upon this extr aordinary order of Gen. Hancock soon after it Avas issued, the late Senator Mo'rton said: Again he says 5 *' Crimes p'nd offenses committed in this district must be referred to the consideration and judgment of the regular civil tribunals, «nd those tribrjials will be supported in their lawful juriadio\iqii." Here he abjures the military power conferred upon him by Conr gress, recognizes thr> supremacy of the "bogus civil authorities, aM declares that he will Sa^ port their tribunals in the exercise of their lawful-jurisdiction. .And this he says standingnpoa ground in NewO.rleans yet moist with the blood of nearly 200 men slanghtered in the presence and by the contrivance; of these civil authorities, while the tribunals wliich lie pledges himself to support have never V.rought one of the murderers to justice. * * * Again says Gen. Hancock: "The right of tria). by jury, the habeas corpus, the liberty of the press, the freedom of speech, and the natural rights ot persons and therights Of property mrlBt be preserved." This is a very pretty na.rfiag, but Avhat does it mean in this eonneefdo' _ ? it means that the loyal men. white and bV ^ shall have the right to be triad by rebel.jU' jes, -vhich. is like giving the limbs the right to be tried by the wolves. R, means that the rebels who have murdered Union men shall be. tried by reiel juries ; and. when, I aslt has oD.e of them been brought to justice? It mean 3 that meri arrested by military authority may be discharged from "custody upou & writ tti -ha^jeas corpus issued hy a State Judge, which is. in direct violation of the concluding part of 'the third section of tho act of Starch 2, 18G7, which says: "And all interference under color of State authority Avith. tho exercise of military authority under this*ct shall be null and void." I read this order «E Geu. Hancock Avith un- mingled sorrow, *Bd felt he had committed an ■error more £a&al to hia reputation than the loss of a battle. €ren.

It was through this violation of a solemn law of Congress, this violation of -the very act by virtue of Avhich he held his appointment, that Gen.

Just when the doxol'gy -was sung, ■
And saints stood still, with heads low hung,
- "While walls and vaulted arches rung
AVith 1'ather Smith's beseeching tonguer—
Jast then. ScSoss the. aisle thews sprvuig
A tony youth, and proudly flung
Himself beside his future bride,
■Whose lovely little arm he grasped
Before she'd said a word, or gasped
A breath of approbation!
So dart and cloudy was the night
The waning moon lost all her light,
"While not a star appeared in sight
To tell the youth which street was right;
And his betrothed spoke not a Avord,
Nor even .acted like she heard
, The^ords te AtaS, but onward sped.,
Aa shoiild a fond, prospective groom,
He strove to ease her sfient gloom
- With strains of adoration; '''".'
He heaved a sad, sepulchral moan
That ended in a loving groan,
Then these words spake in frenzied tone:
" Oh, fairest mortal, lovely JTOan
(Than whom more charming: none are known.
Ill any land where birds have flown; " .
On any sea where sails are blown; ^
"Neath any sky v?here stars e'er shone;
yMid tropio sands or icy zone),
"'"With thee I'd rather dwell alone,
"With naught to eat save crust and bone—
•Or both Ho buried 'neath one stone,
'Than without thee to live and own
..A crown, a Scepter," and a throne."
She heaved a sigh aud wiped her eye,
" Which made our youthful hero feel
'That all his earthly woe, or weal,
Was near its termination.
"In those tear-dimmed, angelic oyes
Slethjnks, e'en now, I set; arise
The pearly gates of Paradise,
ihraugh. which thero glides, and swiftly flies.
As lightning through Uie starlit skies,
A'turtle dove, which bears, my love,
"Wifiiin ita pure and graceful beak,
"Words that none but ange's speak—
"•Save thee, their near relation!
Vj'Whcn I behold those golden curls
<(And sura they'd charm great men like Esrls)
I know thou'rt not as other girls;
'This dimpled chin, that classic no3e
(JEfaaS fragrant music when it blows 1) ;
aSuree cheeks which, blush e'en like the rose
5Ehat in the choicest bower grows.
So oft and oft have I caressed—
And still more oft, thou kflbwst, I've pressed
"£* Those flnger-iapsa.net velvet lips 1
'•jTis^y supernal, bliss iSost sweet,
*£oboisfbefore thee- and thy feet,
t And. take att observation 1
*1 My -very heart with rapture thrills
"V5Ji«ne'er I think how, freed from ills
Of this sad life, by you, my wife—"
J~ Before the " wife " was half pronounced
->"\ 3Ji e fair one turned and at him bounced
This fierce ejaculation:
rtt Hold! hold 1 you yollow-headed brute!
Hold5 hold, I say, you frog-eyed newt!
Iswanl's half a mind to shoot
A great brick-bat clur through yer hat!
And now, you ugly blue-nosed wretch,
Yer'd better git, or shur I'll fetch
Htmdfuls of wool from off yer head
Aad scratch yer chin as blue as lead!
You son of old Tarnation!"
Sson sticks and stones flew thick and fast
As&sllstones in a summer blast,
Ana, though he dodged them as they passed,
5There came an awful rock at last
ifiThich struck a tree, square at him glanced,
Jkn& laid him motionless—entranced!

And raved and tore! and almost swore

So vile with degradation!
You've heard, now, boys, my story through,
So listen now—a word to you!
"Whene'er your Joan from church you'd take,

editIwa Shinobi
|Chapter #539
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #278
|Appears in
|Anime and Manga
Personality Edit
He first appeared to be a suspicious individual, lurking about the medical compound and hiding in the shadows, but, in reality, is a soft-hearted, albeit shy individual, and ever since Sakura treated his wounds, he became infatuated with her, and in fact, even gave her a love letter. Sakura kindly refused the love letter saying that her heart was already taken.
Appearance Edit
He has black hair, eyes, and wears the standard Iwagakure flak jacket and one sleeved uniform, which is half torn. He also wears the standard forehead protector of the Allied Shinobi Forces. His hand was injured during the war and is in a cast.
Part II Edit
Shinobi World War Arc Edit
He was first seen in the compound of the Logistical Support and Medical Division, being healed by Sakura Haruno. Shortly after his arrival, Neji Hyūga spots him lurking outside the barracks several times. He later goes back to the tent where Sakura is in and hands her a love letter, saying he couldn't stop thinking of her after she tended his injuries and that he wanted her to have the letter because he did not know if he was going to survive the war. Sakura thanks him, but tells him that there is already someone she likes. Upon hearing this piece of news, he apologises for the trouble and tells Sakura that the one she adores must be a lucky man. After leaving the tent, he sighs disappointedly.

Our adorable felt Forest Gnomie girls just don't know when to stop. They climb, hold on to things, sit, lean, bend backward and forward, and you might even catch them dancing! They are made on a wire bendy frame with a wood hand painted face and wooden hands. All of their clothing is hand stitched with adorable details. From the top of their cap to their feet they are 6 1/2" tall. Handmade in Ecuador by a group of talented men and women. Recommended for children over 3 due to small parts.
From left to right the Forest Gnomies are: Linnea Blossom, Mari Mushroom, Bella Blueberry, Olive Acorn(blonde haired), Hazel Acorn(red haired), and Kirsten Strawberry. These Gnomies would be adorable as a Birthday Gift or in a Travel Gift Bag!
