About the year 1887, Longfellow, be-
ing engaged in making the tour of Eu-
rope, selected Heidelberg for perma-
nent winter residence. There his wife
was attacked with an illness, which ul-
timately proved fatal. 1t so happened,
however that some time afterward there
came TO the same romantic place young
lady Of considerable personal attractions.
The poets heart was touched--he be-
came attached TO her; but the beauty of
sixteen did not sympathize with the poet
of six-and-thirty, and Longfellow re-
turned TO America, having lost his heart
as well as his wife. The young lady,
also an American, returning home short
ly afterwards. Their residence il turn
ed out were contiguous, and the poet
availed himself Of the opportunity of
prosecuting. his addresses, which he did
for considerable time with no better
success that at first. Thus fooled, he
set himself resolutely down, and in
stead, like petrach, Of laying siege to
the heart of his mistress through the me-
dium of sonnets, he resolved to write
whole book book which would a.
chieve the double object of gaining her
affections, and Of establishing his own
fame. Hyperion" was the result
His labor and his consistency were not
thrown away: they met their due re-
ward. The lady gave him her hand as
well as her heart; and they now reside
together at Cambridge, in the same house
which Washington made his hcad-quar-
ters when he was first appointed TO the
command Of the American armies
These interesting facts were commune
Gated TO us by a very intelligent Amer
lean gentleman whom we had the pleas
ure of meeting in the same place which
was the scene of the poets early disap-
pointed and sorrow. Dublin University

and quite slender. Her arm and hand are espe-
cially delicate and beautiful, and her figure round
and graceful She is brunette, with large dark
eyes, and black, abundant hair Her lips have
an expression of great determination, but her
smile is altogether charming 10 that the woman
comes out; lei arch, soft, and winning rare
an ipdescribsbe smile. Her manner is simple
and engaging, her voice is now gentle or mirth-
full, now earnest and impassioned- sometimes
sounds like the utterance Of some quiet, home
love, and sometimes stsrtles you with decided
ring of the steel Her enthusiasm and intensity
of feeling reveal themselves in almost everything
she says and does. An amusing instance was
told me when in Washington. An album Was one
day handed her, for her autograph. She took it
with smile but on opening it at the name OF M.
Bodisco, the Russian ambassador, pushed il from
her with flashing eyes, refusing TO appear in the
same book with the tool of a tyrantw
Yet, after all, she is one to whom children go,
feeling the charm of her womanhood, without
being awed by her greatness She bears herself
with no military sir; there is nothing In her
manner to remind you Of the camp, though much
to tell you that you in the presence of no ordi-
nary woman.
The life Of soldier, with its dangers and pri-
vations with all its fearful contingencies, not
sought by Jsgiellc for its own sake, nor for the
glory it might confer, but was accepted as the
means to great end. She believed that the path
of her country led through the Red Sea of revo-
luton, to liberty and peace, and stood up bravely
by the side Of that country. Her young heart
fired, and her slender arm nerved with courage
that knew not sex.
As the women Of America have given their adj
miratiQn 70 her herOism, they will give also, and
more abundantly, their sympathy to her mistor-
tune She bears to our shores weary and an
almost broken heart, May she here find repose
and consolation, while awaiting that brighter day
which shall as surely dawn for her unhappy
country, as freedom is the primal right of man, as
oppression is a falsehood and wrong, and as God
is over all.

The Editor of the Tribune, in his desperation
to say something against Gen. Lewis, has hatch
ed up a story for his readers under the head of
Bad Memory for a Scnator'
In this "anecdote," as he calls it, he affirms
that Gen. Lewis was chairman of a committee,
appointed by the Legislature, to examine the
affairs Of the Miners Bank, when under the
Cashcrship of G. D. Dillon, and the grave
crime of carelessness urged against the Gene
raj in neglecting to put Mr. Dillon upon his
oath.
Now the facts in the case are, that Gen. L
was not member of that committee nor indeed

sovereigns to such exhibition of memory as

villiany offers you preacher for your suffrages:
the Democratic party, having no GALrHIs
crimes to atone for, present you Mr.. Hampstead
Take them upon party or no party grounds, we
are willing to submit to your decision.
Mr.. Thompsons qualifications for Governor
are, that he is preacher;-Mr. Hampstead has
been connected with the politics Of this State
and Territory since their existence.
The Wings object to him, because he is a po
litician-because he is lawyer. A politician
il 4 man who understands the science of gov
ernment--a lawyer is a man who knows, o.
ought to know, the laws by which men are gov
erned in society.
Should not Governor understand the sci
ence Of government should ne not understand
the laws of his country-shou d it be detrlmen
tai to his prospects that he knows his duty-tha
he knows the laws?
The Wing party seems to think 50. "The les'
man knows, the higher he ought to be elevat
ed" il their motto. Ignorance is their only
shield- they fear nothing 50 much as knowledge
We proclaim, that . Governor, in order e
