THE RICH WIDow.-A Washington letter
writer thus alludes to the widow of the late
Major General Gaines, who has recently come
into possession of several millions of dollars
by decision of the U. S. Supreme Court
Mrs. Myra Gaines is thus described, as
she appeared at late Presidential levee,
leaning on the arm of young gentleman, a
relative of her family Her figure is short
and slight; her weight, perhaps, one hum
dred pounds. She wore a Quaker -colored
watered silk dress, cut low over full bust ;
the very short sleeves revealed finely pro-
portioned and fair white arm, that would
have graced the belle of the assembly. Though
her age is about fifty, no one would estimate
it over thirty-fve. She wore bright gold
bracelets upon her wrists. Her hair, which
is black and glossy, was confined in a net
ting of gold lace, and two long bright curls
fell one upon either shoulder. Her eyes are
black, restless and expressive. Two small
ostrich plumes, of white and blue, were par
tally concealed in the dark folds of her hair.
Her stepi elastic, her manner graceful. She
is very conversational with her acquaintan-
ces, and her countenance indicates unusual
intellectual ability. Thus let your readers
form a conception of Mrs Gaines, as, with
a magnificent white camelia upon her bosom
she glided round and round amid the CAV
and happy throg in the greatest room of the
| President S mansion

On the Crosswalk.

Oh what shall do what can I do?
For no one cares for me herel
Ny hands and my feet ache so with cold,
From keeping the crosswalk clear.
I've toiled for nothing the livelong day
Eve had but q crust to eat;
l wonder If l have got to die /!
Alone to die in the street
Perhaps the man will let me in there,
To stand awhile and get warm!
I've almost mind to go and ask
IT'S SO cold here in the storm.
Alas there is nothing for me to do
And no place where may go!
Again to walk in the streets all night,
Or fall asleep in the snowi
/ wonder how it seems to be rich,
To have q warm dress to wear;
Besides plenty to eat and drink,
And money enough to spare!
l wonder how it feels to be well,
And able to walk or run
No matter how sharp the piercing blast,
No matter how hot the sun.
I wonder how it seems to have friends,
10 nave nome, OF Deu
! wonder if am lonelier than
shall be when / am dead
I wonder how it seems to be good
To kneel in church and pray!
/ wonder, if l should ask them to,
Would angels take me away?
l wonder what has become of her
Who kissed me while on her knee!
She used to clasp me close to her breast
As though she was fond of me.
Iwonder why it is am i'll,
And hungry, and cold, and poor!
work as hard as ever can
My path looks clean, am sure.
I'll sit on the curb awhile to rest,
I'll feel better by and by,
feel better now IT'S not SO cold

war of determination and oppression is being
waged against the Government. Walker
boasts that on the 1st of May the Confederate
flag will waive from the dome of the National
Capitol, and on the 4th of July the army will
occupy Independence Hall. Already their
piratical flag is unfurled against our COM
merce, and the navigation of the Mississippi
is obstructed, and we are required to pay
tribute at its mouth. The question is, shall
we allow this to proceed, or meet the oppres-
sion. He said there was no cause for this
rebellion-that no evidence had been pre-
sented that their institutions were insecure
that the Fugitive Slave Laws were never
executed with more firmness than recently at
Chicago. Are we to inaugurate the Mexican
system in the United States? Had the can
didate of the disunionists been elected, and
the Republicans North rebelled, would have
used my best effors to crush them. The first
duty of American citizens is obedience to the
Constitution and laws, in my opinion 1t is
our duty to lay aside all party creeds and
| platforms, until we have rescued our country
from its assailants. Twill never acquiesce in
a warfare upon the constitutional rights or
institutions of the South if any attempt be
made to invade those rights or incite servile
insurrection, l will be the first to rush to the
rescue. Yet they must distinctly understand
that will never acquiesce in their invasion
| of our constitutional rights. 1t is clearly
against constitutional freedom to attempt to
crush the United States Out of the map of
Christendom. He appealed to the men of all
parties to not allow their passions to get the
better of their judgments, and not to attempt
to manufacture partisan capital out of the
miseries and struggles of their country. To
the Democrats he would say, don't allow par
ty considerations to make you traitors. The
most stupendous and unanimous prepara-
tons for war is the shortest way to peace
The greater the unanimity the less blood will
be shed. Every friend of the country must
feel that this cause is his own. The seeded
States have proceeded to obstruct the most
inalienable right of navigation of the Missis-
sippi. The people of the Mississippi Valley
can never consent to be excluded from free
access to the Gulf of Mexico. | will never
cease to urge my countrymen to take up arms
and fight in exercise of their rights. 1t is
war of self-defense. / believe it is duty we
owe to ourselves, our children and our God,
to protect and sustain our Government and
flag from every assailant.
He was frequently interrupted with enthu-
siastic applause. Douglas remains here about
one week and then goes to Chicago.
The Indiana Legislature convened yester-
day. Gov. Mynot delivered his Message in
the afternoon. He recommended the appro-
priation Of one million dollars for military
purposes, and also the passage of law defin-
ing and Furnishing treason.

Origin of the Bayonet.

The Emperor Napoleon III. said in his
proclamation " The new rifle arms are only
dangerous at distance; they will not pre-
vent the bayonet from being as heretofore
the terrible arm of the French infantry"
The bayonet is, in fact, an arm peculiarly
French. 1t was invented, it is said in Bay
onne in 164l and employed in 1910 in the
regiment of the Kings Fusiliers. 1t sensibly
modified the system of military art in Europe,
as it made cavalry less redoubtable to infan-
try, and caused the fire of lines of battle to
cease to be regarded as the principal means
of action. The bayonet has, in fact, become
the decisive arm of the combat According
to local tradition it was in a small hamlet
in the environs of Bayonne that this arm
was invented. What led to the invention of
it was, that in fierce combat between some
Basque peasants and some Spanish snug
glers, the former having exhausted their am
munition, and being thereby at disadvan-
tage, fastened long knives to their muskets,
and by means of the weapons so constructed
put their enemies to flight. This arm rapid
ly came into general use in Europe. After
the Kings regiment, several others were
provided with the bayonet, and the Dragons
received it in 1916. In 1878, at the time of
the peace of Nimegeun, all the French gren-
dOlcrS Hdu tHe Dity OHet, Out tue SOckct, WHICH
makes the use of SO easy, was not invented
until later period. An unsuccessful expert
ment with the socket was made before Louis
XIV, in 1858, but the want of uniformity
in the muskets was then an obstacle to the
adoption of this simple and eficacious piece
of mechanism. Bayonets at that time were
sort of dagger, of which the handle was
placed in the muzzle of the musket, and of
course prevented the musk ct from helm ~ ,red
The first battle at which the bayonct was se-
riously employed was that of Turin in 1892; !;
but it was not until the battle of Spires in
1903, that the first charge of the bayonet
was executed. After that epoch, ur to 1892,
the bayonet was often employed in combat,
and the Prince de Ligne called it "pecu-
liarly French arm,' owing to the manner in
which our soldiers used it; but the real val
| ue of it was not revealed until the wars of ma
| tional independence. Then the bayonet re-
ally became French arm. 1.-The bullet is
wild, said Suwarof,, . but the bayonet is
prudent and sure. .Honiteur

A New KIND OF BoRER.-We have been
shown appie-tree wood, pierced by new,
diminutive, but active and destructive borer.
A gentleman in Placer county found many of
his apple trees dying-some entirely dead
and on cutting several down, stripping them
of bark, and examining the trunks, he dis
covered that they had been honeycombed by
a very small borer, which makes bee line
in whatever direction it starts-horizontal
or at any degree of altitude-and goes right
through the tree, when it probably turns and
bores back again. The hole made by this
insect is cut as clean and precise as if work
ed by the sharpest instrument and in the best
style of art, and is so small that it will only
admit the finest wire. Ascertaining this to
be the cause of decay, he scrutinized his 9TH
er apple trees, and wherever he found one of
these pin holes he probed it and killed the
insect, and thus brought back to healthy TO-
liage many trees whose leaves were fast fad
ing. This is believed to be new kind Of
borer-a very destructive one, and if its hole
can be discovered, it is easily killed by sin
gle prod with piece of wire. We have seen
it noticed that apple trees in Sonoma county
are dying of an unaccustomcd disease, and il
may be that an examination will show that
this identical little borer has perforated
them.-Bee.
