WORTH OF THE VI. TELEGRAPH In
SLAVE SrArE.-Calling at the post office,
Tor our regular deposites, on Saturday night
last, the clerks met US with high congratula-
lions, on the reception of more of the
medium than we have received in a long
time, which they verify supposed they were
holding in trust for US. And what could it
be, but letter, mailed at "Columbus, Ga,
Aug. 7"-marked as weighing 81 Id oz."-
charged with postage, ISL 25"-directed TO
80. S. Murray, Esqr., Brandon, Vt."-and,
what was most remarkable Of all, marked at
the bottom, on the left hand, as containing
" $780,! Of course we fell pretty sudden
lY to examining an article of such outward
import After finding our way by some
half dozen waters, and unfolding curious
wrapper, what should appear but copy Of
the Telegraph, containing G.. w. Gardner's
sermon, unlyRched and unscathed! II it
had been the original, or only copy of this
sermon, that ii contained, the paper would
have been worth more than five times $500
to the cause Of humanity. AS it was, we
embraced and congratulated the daring ad-
venturer, as singularly fortunate, in having
escaped the terrible fury of those it had 50
faithfully rebuked. AS for the postage, IN
Gle Sam had to shoulder that, except Is
mills, which was paid most cheerfulIy-

A SMALL MIsTAKE.-The difference 1ohich
one letter makes. In copying the account
Of the "Fish Storm" from Niles Register,
last week, the apprentice who did the work,
thinking that there must have been mis-
take in his exemplar, altered "dwt" to "cwt;''
and we read proof so rapidly as to fail OF
showing him in season, that the mistake
was his own. There is quite difference BE-
tween penny-weights and hundred-weights,
especially when applied to aerial fish.

SLOWS Or TIE TMEs.-The following sen
timents, from the Vermont Chronicle and
the New-York Spectator, augur well for the
cause Of emancipation. Not that any credit
IS due to these prints for the present grow
ing sympathy Cor the crushed and bleeding
s:ave-if they have contributed anything to
the furtherance Of the reform that is now
going on, Il is because God has everruled
their wicked opposition, and has made their
wrath to praise Him. But when public
opinion-publc indignation-extorts from
them such sentiments as they here utter,
depend upon il, Anti-Slavery is already high
on the ascendant.

Correspondence Of the Charleston Courier.
WASHINGTON, MARCH -, 1887.

Wa ARLINGTON, MARCH ~, 1851.
The Cabinet Council has been sitting every
day during the last week, on the subject of the
Treasury Circular, and up to Saturday no de-
cision had been made as to the resembling of
1t. Remonstrance after remonstrance has
come in from New York, and perhaps from
other commercial cities, and many individuals
who are deeply interested in the result, have
been with the President; but the rumor is, that
he has hitherto withstood every effort to make
him Weld IN reference to this point. 1t is un-
derstood amonn' those who profess to be ac-
-guainted with the secrets of the Cabinet, that
MIR. Woodbury. and NJ. Kendall are opposed
to resembling the Circular, and that Mr.. For
syth, Mr.. Polnsett. and Dir. S,rtler, arc in IA
vor of that measure, as called io,' by the pres
cnt situation of the money markt. l do not
know whether the division OF the Cabinet be
correct, but give it on the best authority
can obtain The general belief however, IS
chat the remonstrances and petitions will pour
in so rapidly, and from quarters so influential,
that the President will not be able to keep his
present resolution on the subject. There is an
other question which is said to have engrsssed
a good deal of the discussion Of the Cabinet,
and that is the shutting of the land Offices, so
as to stop, from this time, all entries of public
lands. The President is said to be strongly op-
posed to this step, whchis strongly urged upon
him by portion of the Cabinet. His opinion
is that there ought to be no more ofthe public
lands set up for public sale, for the present,
but that that the Land Offices should be kept
open, as they now are, for private entries, un-
der the restriction imposed BY the Treasury
Order, and this he considers sufficient to check
that rage for speculation, which has been prev
aIent for some time past, and to which the Pres
ident attributes, in great measure, the pres
cn: embarrassments in the money market.

ers from five up tove and forty years Of age Beau
tful were those children Beyond belief of those who
did not see them. With eyes brighter than aught be-
side in nature-cheeks blooming with natures choic-
estvermion forms agile bounding like the
forest awn-their fair hair rolling uxuranay in ring
let's down their farer necks-they formed, indeed a
sight not often seen by the worn denizens OF
crowded city.
Their childish lisp-their innocent prattle-ther
merry laugh, most musical, most sweet.
.swee, is the voice of girls the song Of birds.
The lisp OF children and their earliest words!
We shook some sixteen years from our shoulders
at the sight-our eyes became bedimmed with mols-
ture, and we were child again. Earth holds few
brighter or more bessedly beautiful sights, than were
to be seen al the Thatched Cottage on the day Of the
fair Ladies Fair at Jersey City.
The exhibition was held in the upper room-tabes
were ranged around it, covered with choice and cost
ly articles, the work of the beautiful Miss B--r
Mrs. s., Miss H, Miss J, DIST and
more than dozen others. Some of the very hand
soonest girls and women were selected 10 stand be-
hind the stalls and sell the articles and well did they
fulfil their Office.
On the stairs we were stopped by three little cherub
girls, whose joint ages might amount to IL, who
aushngly assured us they were doorkeepers to the
to the three headed Cerberus that guards the en-
trance to less pleasing place. They demanded toll
from us which we paid more cheerfully than we ever
did at any previous turnpike the high road of life.
Entering the room were soon saluted by sweet
girl of sixteen, who held wheel of fortune IN her
hand, surmounted by an old woman, with stick TO
point out the destinies of different enqulrers Her APP
pearance was pleasing beyond the power Of pen to
porray-bu what added much interest to the general
contour of her countenance, was well arranged
squirt of her sinister eye. We were struck by her
before she spoke =" Will you have your fortune told,
fair sir 2" said she "Wh pleasure, sweet young
lady," She turned the wheel and the woman. The
stick stopped at this sentence;
"Pursue the career you have nobly begun,
And honor and fortune by you will be won"'
Pleasing prophecies you were right! and we will
entreat the blessed virgin to bless thee and all who
like thee, lay themselves out in glorious enter
prise. Let the ladies of Jersey city continue the ca
reer they have noby begun, and not only will honor
and fortune be won by them-but what is better
there will not be one manageable maid amongst
| them unmarried month, for many year TO come
particularly the beautiful Miss B-r, whom we here
partcuarise partly because she looked pleasing
more lovely than any young lady there, and partly
because in by gone days we inadvertently did do al
