For days past unor has been rife TO The efec
that Mr. Steua the Secretary OF the Interior, had
tbozed draft for forty thousand dollars for pur
pose connected with Minnesota Indians that the draft
was approved by Mr. Corwn Secretary OF the Treasury
and that Mr. Wh,tesey, the Comptroller Of the Treas
ury had refused 10 pay it, twas also rumored that
pleasant words had passed between Messrs Seuau and
Corwn and Mr. Whltesey, relative TO this transaction
The publication OF these rumors has called from Mr..
Whitlesey communication. which we publish below.
II will be seen that the communication does not in any
manner deny the difficulty relative TO the fory-ihousand
draft as il only denies the unpleasant words. We
are therefore justified in believing that difficulty did
exist and that exists now, unless the report be true
that after long cabinet consultation Saturday, the
Comptroller finally yielded. and allowed the two Secre.
iaries to have their way in the premises

would annoy me to DEATH"
"But, surely, that is not your only OBJ
jection''
"I have no other"
You are foolish"
"Perhaps so. But cant help it. My
wife must be purctual and no mistake"
Alton showed himself to be in earnest
Much as it cost him, he steadily resisted
the inclination that was constantly urging
him to renew his attentions to Anna Mil
nor. AS for the young lady, she was un-
happy for several months. Then she was
consoled by new and less fastidious lover.
She paid as little attention to punctuality
as ever, but this was only a defect of minor
importance in the eyes of the young man
who had made up his mind to offer her his
hand.
Alton was invited to her wedding about
year after the date of his unpleasant pic
mic adventure. A large and brilliant party
were assembled to witness the nuptials,
that were to take place at eight o'clock
precisely. At eight, all the company
were waiting, Win the Inlnlsler, the ueoceHC
of the bridal party. But time passed on,
and many began to feel impatient. Mr..
Minor, the father of Anna, came into the
parlor frequently, and then went out, evi-
IDENTIFY worried at the delay, the cause Of
which Alton shrewdly guessed to lie in the
fact that the bride was not ready.
"I believe the girl will be too late for
DEATH" he heard the old gentleman say,
in fretful undertone, to some one in the
passage, close to the door near by which he
was sitting.
"Thank heaven for my escape" mur-
INJURED Alton to himself, as the party came
in about half-past nine, after having kept
the company waiting an hour and half.
Too late on her wedding night She
would have killed me ~
If this shoe should happen to pinch any
lady, whether married OR single, we beg
her not to think for moment that it was
made for her foot.

ANECpoTE OF AN INDIAN PREACHER

ANECpoTE OF AN INDIAN PREACHER
In former times, one of the preachers Of
the NIohegan Indians, situated on the
banks of the Thames, between Norwich
and New London, America, was preaching
on the language of Solomon "Cast thy
bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find
it after many days." Eccles., IL: l. To
illustrate his subject and enforce the duty
of benevolence, he related a circumstance
connected with his early days, as follows
A certain man was going from Norwich
to New London with loaded team On
attempting to ascend the hill where Indian
lives, he found his team could not draw
his load: he came to Indian and got him
to help him with his oxen. After he got
up, he asked Indian what there was to pay.
Indian told him to do as much for some-
body else. Some time afterwards, the
Indian wanted canoe. He went up
Shctucket River, found tree and made
him one When he got it done, he could
not get it to the river Accordingly, he
went to a man, and offered him all the
money he had, if he would 60 and draw
it to the river for him. The man said he
would 60. After getting it to the river,
Indian offered to pay him. "No," said
he don't you recollect so long ago, help
ing man up the hill by your house :"
" Yes" "Well, / am the man; there
take your canoe and 60 home" So l find
t after many days.

y
To die If it should happen.
And when to him, her last resourse
On earth-she flies for succor,
lie spurns her as hag, or worse,
She dies, without favor!
What cares he tho her parents dear,
Are buried on the morrow;
He knows that to an early grave,
He's brought their heads with sorrow.
He's not a man, he's not within
A manly heart to offer
He's guilty of heavens daring sin,
A love and virtue scoffer.
Young ladies all, of such beware,
For you have ample reason,
They're like the famed Upas tree,
Whose shade is deadly poison.
No mercy can such ever share,
Except thro' deep repentance;
Unhappiness their portion here,
And death their final sentence.
Why must on earth such wretches live;
To crush its fairest blossoms,
To poison those with deadly fangs,
They've charmed into their bosoms.
IT'S not G. mans love-" thus to abuse
The choicest boon of heaven!
Tis lust alone--the passion love
Can scarce to such be given.
'Tis not mans love, those rainbow hues,
Those flames and gusts of passion,
They are far more like efligies,
Or woman's tickle fashion.
Mans loves not like the subtitle sea,
Its trust but won, betraying-
But like some life boat ever true,
Thro' storms and tempests watching.
Who reaches to the battle field,
To fear of death stranger,
Some lovely maid or wife to shield
From hostile foes in danger
And tho the canon's thunders roar
And shot and sabres rattle,
He hopes to meet his love once more,
When won, the field of battle.
Mans love is like fortress strong,
Or nations mighty tower,
Where fair ones may in safety throng,
In dangers fearful hour.
Mans love is like the diamond stone,
At first perhaps unsightly;
But women polish it, and then
1t sparkles, ever brightly.
Mans love is like the glorious sun,
Whose rays with life are teeming,
And tho by clouds tits hid anon,
Still brightly, is it beaming.
Mans love is like the richest gem
OF Queen Victoria's nation,
Which in royal diadem,
Doth boast to crown woman.
Mans love, is like the ocean rock,
That braves the laundering breaker,
And stands secure amid the shock,
Still towering to its maker.
Perhaps one false our friend her tried'
And so she has denied him
Or that sour grapes are only cried,
Because she never tried them

of gentlemen; viz. the Brooklyn Ligh
Guards" as being applicable, and express
i've of the truth of our position and ne
doubt, but as with us, it will find an echo
in the hearts of thousands of Others
A" Woman-the core of our heart-the ap
pie of our eye-the smile of heaven upor
spirit of our life-the incarnation
of divinity among us-we love her, oh
how we love her; and he who does no
love her is a God forsaken wretch"
Says't thou dear friend, with mans love,
Thou dost compare, BETTING,
Those things that always seem to prove
Most fragile, false, and feeting?
What man inconstant, canst thou say,
In Eden's blissful garden,
Enticed our mother Eve astray,
Or strove her heart to harden.
Who, trusting in Deliahs' lap,
In pleasures soft and downy,
ny smlllhS beauty was betrayed
10 foe men fierce and brawny?
Had mighty Sampson ever proved
A false inconstant suitor?
Or did her charms alone allure,
But to become his traitor!
When youthful Jacob for wife
In search, had left his Bethel,
With blissful views of future life,
Met lovely blooming Rachel,
Her charms beset this noble man,
His heart with love inspiring
Thlnks't thou he was inconstant then
10 serve seven years untiring.
And when his uncle him beguiled,
And in her stead gave Leah,
Intent upon his chosen bride
He served him seven more years;
What further proof wouldst thou have,
That mans love is pure unswerving,
As thousands now will testify
Who share it, quite deserving.
No doubt there's Jacobs in these days,
That for some fair young Rachel
Would delve seven years as patiently,
10 gain her as an equal.
But now mans love we all consent,
Should pure and free be offered,
Yet tits fact we all lament,
That counterfeit is proffercd
Some sycophant, with aattering tongue,
0fladies fair, woocr,
Perhaps beguilcs one fair and young,
Quite willing to undo her;
Or, if dame fortune may have placed,
Near him for his protection,
Some lovely, artless, hapless, maid,
The model of perfection,
Tho she may be fathers pride,
And all her soul be kindness,
A mothers heart, too may be tied
To her, in tender fondncss.

Victor Hugo,

Is one OF the most eminent, excellent and tru
iy eloquent men in France, and if this remarka
BILE letter can be read without stirring the sou

LETTER FROM VIcToR HUGO, ON SLAVERY IN
THE UNITED STATES.
In compliance with the request of Mrs. Chap
man, Victor Hugo has written letter upon the
subject of American Slavery, which appears in
the Paris EUcnmcnt, and which we find transla-
ted in the N. Y. EOe Post.
MADAME:
| have scarcely anything to add to your let
ter. would cheerfulIy sign every line of it,
Pursue your holy work. You have with you all
great souls and all good hearts.
You are pleased to believe and to assure me
that my voice, in this august cause of slavery
will be listened to by the great American peo-
pie, whom love to think, are closely linked with
the mission OF France. You desire me to lit
up my voice.
will do it at once, and will do it on all &C.
casions. agree with you in thinking that with
in a definite time-that within q time not dis
taut-the United States will repudiate slavery
with horror. Slavery in such country! Can
there be an incongruity more monstrous. Bar
barism installed in the very heart of a society
which is itself the affirmation of civilization !;
liberty bearing chain; blasphemy echoing
from the altar the collar Of the negro chained
to the pedestal of Washington 1t is a thing
unheard of. { say more, it is impossible. Such
a spectacle would destroy itself. The light of
the nineteenth century alone is enough to des-
troy it.
What Slavery sanctioned by law among
that illustrious people who for seventy years
have measured the progress of civilization by
their march, demonstrated democracy by their
power, and liberty by their prosperity! Slavery
In the United States! 1t is the duty of this re-
public to set such bad example no longer. 1t
is shame,-and she was never born to bow her
head
1t is not when slavery is taking leave of old
nations, that it should be received by the new.
What When slavery is departing from Turk
ev, shall it rest in America What Drive it
from the hearth of Omar, and adopt it at the
hearth Of Franklin! No! MOI! MOI!
There is an indexible logic which developes
more OR less slowly, which fashions, which re.
dresses according to mysterious plan, percept-
able only to great spirits, the people or better,
under all human things things, there are things
divine.
Let all those great souls who love the United
States as a country, be re-assured. The Unit
ed States must renounce slavery, or they must
renounce liberty. They will never renounce
the Gospel
Accept, Madam, with my devotion to the
cause which you advocate, the homage Of my re-
spect

TERRIBLE CALAMITY.--A letter from
Moscow states that, on the Goth ut., as the
monks of the convent of Vladimir, town
about twenty miles to the northeast of that
city, were setting out in procession to visit
an image of the Holy Virgin at a neigh
boring village, wooden bridge thrown
over the moat of the convent Formerly a
fortress,) gave way, and out of 20O of the
monks 1873 were drowned. This immense
loss of life was casued by the water being
As feet deep, and the sides of the moat be-
ing perpendicular.
WATERMELON SUGAR.--The CAicago
Tribune, in acknowledging the receipt of
a small quantity Of genuine saccharlne mat
ter, extracted from the watermelon, says:
We have seen and used sugar made
from cane, maple, corn, and beets, but we
have never seen any so pure and deliciousIy
sweet as this. To our mind it is equal to
the best quality of honey The watermelon
possesses great amount of saccharine mat
ter In very pure state, and we do not see
why making sugar from it could not be
made very profitable business in climate
adapted to the growth of it,"

Exciting News from Cuba.

The late accounts from Cuba, though strange
Iy conflicting, in details, yet seem to establish
the following facts, viz.
That General Lopez had effected a landing
in Cuba, with an American force of from 400 to
1000. That fifty of his officers and men were
taken in boats, and Immediately shot. Col.
Crittenden, nephew of the Atty General was
one of the victims.
That Lopez had retreated to the mountains,
and all his boats and means of getting of the
Island had been wholly destroyed, and he and
his men must either fight or die, or both.
There has been great indignation meeting
of twenty thousand, held in N. Y. City, over
this summary manner of disposing of the pris-
oners.
The following is the Spanish account of the
execution:
The troops formed square. They had on
their war uniform-the bIltSa and straw hat
On the arrival of the truops, the cavalry and the
civic guard, the multitude on foot and on holse-
back, placed on the heights, OR the plain, on the
sea, and great distance upon the edlfices of
Jesus del Monte and el Cerro, necessarily cheer
inc the Queen and Spain-eternal idols of that
army and of this people SO much illuminated
by the United States. The mayor de Plazo read
the usual edict, and the criminals appeared by
ten at a time and after being shot, were taken
away from the place of execution, to make room
for their companions The first chief was shot
alone, the two second chiefs were shot together
all in the midst OF incessant cries in favor OF
the Queen and Spain.
Justice being done, the Lieut. del Rey, in a
speech to the soldiers and the people, expressed
himself in strong and worthy terms, saying that
the punishment inflicted was merited by these
men 4: who, without God without law, with
out a flag, came in order to attack our nationai-
ty, our religion, our Queen, and all other objects
dear to our hearts.
The Uluats to the Queen and to the country
were repeated with more energy the troops de-
filed, and the people went to the place Of execu-
ton, where they looked for what the criminals
had left
Ten funeral cars were waiting to convey to
the cemetery the mortal remains of the fifty pi-
rates. Those cars had been furnished by the
funeral agencies, and were ornamented accord
ing to the circumstances Of the tragedy.
The justice of man is complete! God has
pardoned the young cuprits, who have lost
heir lives by having trusted their faith to the
infamous falsehoods in some of the New. Orleans
papers
The Diario" makes no mention of the terri
BILE disposition of the bodies by the brutal ne
groes after the execution was communicated
nor does it refer in any manner to the details as
related by private adyces.

The LICENSE LAw.-The Bangor Cou-
yier in an article ON the new license law,
says:
1.-THE people of Maine have suffered I'M
mensey from the sale and use of intoxica-
ting liquors, and the friends of temperance
and humanity have labored to beat back the
evil of intemperance by the force of moral
suasion and of law and Of every motive
which they could address to men, but
against all these efforts the motive of inter-
est has stood up with brazen face in def
ant attitude and chuckled at the incoming
pennies, though dripping with the tears of
wives and children. The present law has
been framed with special reference TO this
matter of interest, and it reaches it by a
short cut. II is meant to be strong. 1t is
intended to he effective and radical in its
operation. 1t does not anticipate delay
It daIIies not with fine spun and nicely bal
anced questions, but goes strlght forward
with a purpose to remove from Maine, and
that right speedily, the liquor brought here
for sale as a beverage. There is felt to be
a nee ,ssily for such law, and the public
authorities should see it promptly aud faith
fully executed"
