very much Notwithstanding the fact that
she had leil her husband in vigorous health

greatly that the vision indicated his death

When she went down 10 breakfast in the

same house, noticed marks of weeping and
endeavored 10 gel her in good humor. She
told him the cause Of her uneasiness, and
he attempted to remove the unhappy i'm

The impression continued in her mind
that her husband was dead aid she conclu
ded to return 10 her home on the first boat
which she did. A few days after her de-
parinre, a vessel arrived from Honolulu
with news that her husband had died. His
death, however, did not take place on the

ton to be sold and transferred like the
slaves of the South, by the political brokers
of that great metropolis. 1t is not strange
that Secretary Cobb should prostitute the
position he disgraces, to forward this whole
sale attempt TO bully and intimidate north
ern laborers. Relieving as he and his friends
have often expressed themselves-that
northern mechanics and laborers are but
slaves-the slaves of capitalists, as Mr..

should conclude they can be bought and
sold like cattle.
