A WOMAN on THE slcKLrs CASE.

WOMAN ON THE SIC kLtS CASE.
at is strange how differently our sexes are
constituted Women survive these disagree
able developments every day. IL Mr.. Sicl,lcs
had hired this designation house, and met
Mrs. Swizzles. do you think Mrs Sicklcs
would have gone out to shoot the faithless
crinoline who had stolen her husband No.
Sir Women do no such foolish things and
why Because. if we are virtuous we have
confidence in our virtue. and we feel that nc
derelction Of the husband can or ought to
affect the virtue of the wife But suppose on
some fine Sabbath morning all the women in
Washington who suspect their truant lords
should sally out, swords and pistols by their
Sides to chastise the dear creatures who had
stolen their affections, would not this mark
an interesting epoch in history
The following shows what woman thinks
of a mans courage;
"And yet, this man, who could not meet
the hollow shells Of humanity that formed his
society at Washington until he had yindica-
ted his honor must now meet the multitudes

prinuipled libcrtincs-coniront this wife whom

TIE OBERLIN RESCUE CASE

The trial in this case at Cleveland, Ohio,
has been interrupted by an application to the
State Supreme Court for writ Of hdbcds corr
pas for the relief of the accused The appli-
cation was argued by Judge Spalding in its
favor and the District Attorney against it, and
the Court refused the writ. We do not know
the ground of this refusal by the State Court,
(all the Judges of which are Republicans
but possibly it is that the application came in
the wrong stage of the proceedings. This
might do judicially; but if the State Court
has initiated the Federal authorities at Cleve-
land and made political matter of it, one
may reasonably guess that the refusal was
made on the policy of giving plenty of rope.
p. S. 1t is as we had suggested above.
The State Court proceeded says the ~ Y.
Tribune of Monday, entirely on the ground
that so long as the case was still pending be-
fore the United States Court, the Supreme
Court had no call to Interfere because SC
long as the cases remained undisposed Of il
was to be presumed that they would be final.

tional rights of the parties on trial.

PoLITIcs IN KANSAS. - The Hon. +. p.
Stanton, who was Secretary of Kansas Terri
tory, when Robert j. Walker was Governor.
has written letter of considerable interest
upon the organization of political parties in
Kansas He declares that he cannot act with
the Republicans, nor the Democrats as al
present represented by the Administration.
He believes not only that Kansas will be a
tree State, but that it ought to be, inasmuch
as her climate, soil, and other characteristics
render it certain that free labor will be much
the most profitable and advantageous. Mr..
Stanton thinks it would be wise for the peo-
pie Of Kansas to forego all participation in
the contest of political parties, and devote
their attention to the task of securing admis-
sion into the Union, with entire control of
their domestic affairs, and on terms of eounl-
ity with the other States
CAPT FoRD's RANGERs NOT MAssAoRrp.
The Austin (Texas) State Gazette of the 10th
inst.' contradicts the report that Capt. Ford $
company of Rangers had been killed by the
Camanehes, on the authority of an express
rider from the Captains camp. The Captain
had made an extended scout of seven hun
bred miles. Owing to the fall of snow he
d'd not succeed in overtaking the Indians.
70 The New York Tribune, in an article
upon the next Presidency, says:
Most certainly we should prefer an origi-

The VERDICT AT WAsHINGToN. - No
body is surprised at the verdict of the Jury at
Washington, which declares that the man
who deliberately and barbarously shot down
his wiie's paramour in the street, at mid day.
is not guilty of any crime. The acquitted
manslayer was greeted with huzzas, and tri-
umphal procession was eXtemporized bv the
multitude. 1t is intimated that an ovation
awaits his return to New York. But in the
face of this verdict and those demonstrations
1t remains true that the hero of this tragedy
has only succeeded in publishing to the world
the inlamy of his wife, in staining his hands
with the ineiaceable blood of a fellow, in
proving himself capable of cowardly revenge,
and consigning himself to political oblivion
when bis brief term of office, if he can brave
that out, shall have expired.-M T. inde-

1t is quite possible that Mr.. Sickles will be
even more popular with his n. Y. constitu-
onts than he was before the killing of Key.

BLIND MEN EMINENT IN LITERATURE
Many of our contemporaries speak Of Mr.. Pres
colt as one of the few instances Of a man de-
prived of his sight in early life having become
eminent in literature. This, however, is
mistake. From Diodotus, the blind teacher of
Philosophy, Geometry, and Music, who lived
half century before the Christian era, to
Samuel Willard, an eminent blind divine now
50 years of age, there have been not less than
30 blind men distinguished in politics, litera-
ture, science, theology, and the mechanical
arts. Milton made his name immortal after
the loss of his vision. Sanderson, one of the
most eminent Professors of Mathematics that
Oxford ever possessed, was born blind. HUI
Der, strange to say one of the most eminent
writers on Entomology, was n blind mainland
yet his work on " Bees and Ants is the best
ever written. Fielding, the great Police mag.
4 istrate, was born blind so was Metcalf; fa-
nous English Engineer and Surveyor, Angus
tine Thiery, the historian Of the Norman Con-
quest, who died last year, and who was almost
as great historian as PRESCOTT was blind.
Indeed we might, from an article in the En-
cyclopedia Britannica on eminent blind men,
cite fifty other instances of men who have at
tanned great eminence in all the walks of life
who were blind from early childhood. One of
the most attractive and entertaining books OF
the day, and one which may be found in every
bookstore, is a collection Of lectures, sketches,
&c., by the Rev VIM. II. Milbun, Metho-
dist minister, who lost his sight when boy
and who, as an itinerant preacher, has, during
the last twelve years, Travelled over 3OO,OOu
miles in the performance of his clerical duties
and who is an eloquent and learned divine, as

GREAT MOVING MATCH-A Pair of Irojans
in the Fteld.-The Troy Times gives the fol-
lowing account of a moving match that recent
ly occurred i'll that vicinity District Attor-
ney Lottridge and officer Battershall yesterday
afternoon aired their recollectons of farming
life by moving match on the beautiful farm
of John L. Cole, in Greenbush. The distance
each was to cut was fifteen rods and repeat
The gentlemen were in good condition-hav-
ing been in training quarters upwards of a
month, and their well-developed muscles, as
they stripped" for the encounter, were the
admiration of all beholders Each had been
required by his trainers to smoke twenty-four
cigars day, and the excellent effect of such a
severe system of exercise upon the men was
plainly seen in their hearty condition of wind
and muscle. The first rod was cut in fine
style and called forth loud appause-off1cer
Battershall being two blades of grass ahead,
and evidently confident of victory The Dis
trict Attorney slightly gained on his antagon-
list ON the next rod, and when they started on
the third, the officer was only blade and a
nall ahead. Both came up strong to the
scratch but officer B. stopping to light a fresh
cigar, the District Attorney rapidly closed the
gap and passed his antagonist amid the excited
braves of the crowd. The fourth rod was cut
in splendid style, the District Attorney main
tanning the advantage to the close. Perspira-
uoH was now iOI IIle HrSI tltne visible on the
countenances of the combatants, but neither
appeared Wiling to yield to adverse circum-
stances, and work was resumed with will on
both sides. On the tenth the match was most
unfortunately closed by an unlucky blow in
the region of the District Attorneys abdomen,
most unfortunately made by the handle of the
snath of the scythe which he held, and which
laid him upon the grass The officer perceiv-
ed the condition of his antagonist, and was
preparing to take advantage of it, when milk
snake suddenly appeared in front of him, at
the sight OF which "Joe" yielded to a comatose
sensation and fell senseess upon his late an
tagonist The seconds of each threw up the
sponge in token of defeat, but in defiance of all
sporting rules respectively claimed the money.
As neither party appeared willing to surrender
the stakes, it is expected that a suit will be
commenced by one side or the other for the
recovery of the money.

ON THE WAVE
On the water, on the water,
W lille the summer DAYS were fair
whispering words in softest accents
Ihro' veil of dropping hair;
While the little ear was peeping,
Halt-ashamed and rosy red
Blushing at the earnest meaning,
VI the tender words said
On the water, on the water,
FAIRLY shone the sunbeams then,
dancing on the tiny ripples,
Lighting up the far-off glen;
zone could hear us save the Iris,
Swaying in her golden pride,
And the lilies ever moving
With the motion of the tide.
On the water, on the water,
While the twilight shades drew nigh,
Catching at the dropping branches,
As we floated idly by;
Oh her small hands gentle pressure,
And her glance all words above,
And her soft cheeks bright carnation
When | told her all my love.
On the water, on the water,
Now float, but all alone,
And miss the silken ringlets,
And the little hand is gone;
Dies the sunsets crimson beauty,
Comes the twilight as of yore,
All remind me OF the dear one,
Lost to me fOreYermore
