1.me. n. Cla,y and HI. slaves. |.

The late james Z Clay, like most wealthy
shareholders, was very loud of boasting of the
attachment and devotion of his bondmen to
himself Not only were his slaves well fed and
well housed, but they were far happier than
free people, and knew and appreciated the ines
timable advantages of their position. They did
not wantfreedom, and would not take il on any
terms. AL they asked was to live on the old
plantation and to end their days under the easy
yoke of @Massa" Clay.
Once upon time-some two or three years
ago Mr. Clay had Quaker friend from the
North visiting him, and TO whom he expressed
his usual confidence in the attachment OF his
slaves: The Quaker was incredulous, and so
Clay vauntingly determined to put the matter
TO the test.
An old house-slave-one who enjoyed his
confidence, who had been always well treated
and who seemed to entertain real affection
for his master-was called and entered the
ROOM.
sTom," said Mr.. Clay, ~here's gentleman
from the North who says you and the other
BOYS are miserable here, and want to be free.
You may 90 away home with him if you like. "
The old negro was puzzled and almost scared.
He shook his head doubtingly.
"You are free, Tom, and can leave me if you
want to, again said the master.
The negro trembled with emotion. AT last
all excitement, he cried sAre you in earnest
Massa can go North and be free ?"
eyes if you want to leave me and your old
home, you can go.
"Ill CO. massa. I'll go anywhere to be free. y
And the old fellow was beside himself with Joy
and gratitude at his expected liberation.
This was not however, what the STAKEHOLDER
wanted or expected. He became very angry,
ordered the poor, credulous slave away, and
soon made his northern friend aware that his
room was better than his company. OF course
Tom was never freed but it is probable that Mr..
Clay was thenceforth less assured of the affec-
ton of his negroes for their slave-life.-N. I.

Portrait of a Wife.

The barristers wife was warm-hearted,
good-tempered, contented, lively woman.
She was girl-ike yet, in her cloak and hat,
with her fiaxen hair in profuse plaits Her
eyes were blue, not the sleepy blue, but
the steel or rather the sapphire blue, and
were the quickest as well as the kindest
imaginable. She had merry, mobile dim
pies, and all together she was very young
matron, dear, loving, joyous woman,
shrewd but gmleless, who made every
body with whom she came in contact bet
ter and gladder Her husband might
snap and snarl at her at his will she new
er minded him !; she was fully persuaded
that he was an excellent fellow in the main,
only unluckly in his manner, and that was
his misfortune, poor fellow, and no affair of
other peoples. So industrious was he, so
constant, so considerate to her, so careful
of the babies, she was well convinced that
he loved her and his children with all his
heart, and he would have laid down his
life for them if need were. As it was, he
toiled and slayed to keep them in COM
fort in short he was the best of men,
If this faith did not 90 far to sweeten the
morose man who inspired it, and make him
the best of men, it is hard to say what
would have done it-GoOd Words

VIVA. the Repentent Rebel. SAY.


Over four hundred of the rebel prison
ers at Rock Island have taken the oath Of
allegiance and enlisted in the United States
Naval service. They have been sent East
on special train, in charge of the Chica-
go Zouaves, one hundred and twenty -four
strong, who volunteered for the service
The greater part of the prisoners were ta-
ken at Missionary Ridge, and were all
ages from fifteen to sixty. They wore the
same clothing they were captured in, and
were ragged and dirty in the extreme. At
Syracuse the train stopped awhile, and
quite crowd gathered to get view of
and talk with the "Secesh." The Jour-
nal states that the transformed rebels were
very communicative, and underwent the
closest questionings from the crowd of Wis
itors. It says.
They were bitter in their denunciation
of the rebel leaders. Bragg especially /;
and on the other hand expressed warm adj
miration of the management of the Union
commanders in the Southwest. They
were free to admit that the " yankees"
were the best fighting men. The frequent
inquiry was, e Where do all these people
come from We were told at home that
all the Yankees were in the field, and
that none but women and children were
left at home but from Chicago to this
place, we have seen men enough, well
dressed and prosperous, to overrun all the
South" Others were surprised to see SO
many children, and remarked that they
had seen at least half a million children
ON their way from the West Much sur
prise was expressed at the scenes of indus
try and thrift witnessed all along their
route, and it was remarked by very In
telligent ex-rebel that if these things were
half understood by the masses of the reb-
el armies, the troops would throw down
their arms /; it being the belief that the
/" Yankees" are as badly off as themselves,
that keeps up their pluck and determine
ton. The ex-rebels cut off the buttons
from their tattered clothes and distributed
them among the crowd, remarking that
"Uncle Sam" was going to dress them in
descent garb, of which they would not
be ashamed. One enthusiastic chap sew
eral times shouted out "Here goes for a
rebel pirate speak for a chance at
Semmes p The citizens bestowed many
gifts of fruits and refreshments upon the
travellers, who appeared very thankful for
these attentions

The Nashville Union learns from refu-
gees from Alabama that the reaction in
that State against the traitors in Richmond
is gaining ground daily; that the law fore
ing all those into the ranks who have furn-
ished substitutes, without refunding the
money paid by them, is creating the most
intense excitement; and that everybody is
fleeing from the State who can possibly
leave. The soldiers, too, who have a pros
pect of another three years service without
pay-for rebel money is now worth but
five cents on the dollar, and will purchase
nothing-are becoming more discontented
than ever, and the number of deserters Is
lergely increasing,
All men between 16 and 65 are being
mercilessly conscripted, and that, too, when
there are not men enough left to raise bread
for families and non-combatants. The re-
bellion is evidently on its last legs in Ala

a step in the Right direction.

The Columbus JoUT7e0L narrates an Incl
dent that is of Importance as indicitive Of
Gov. Brough's determination to correct
such abuses as fall within the scope of his
power. A few days since the Governor
met in the streets young officer of fine
talents and high connections, but who was
disgracefully drunk. Gov. Brough imme-
diately telegraphed the Secretary of War,
informing him of the facts, and demand
ing the prompt dismissal of the officer
The demand was at once complied with
and he was dismissed in disgrace.
On recovering from his debauch the
officer was astounded at the discovery OF
his disgrace. He implored forgiveness,
and the most strenuous efforts were made
by friends of influence to induce the Gov
ernor to revoke the disgraceful dismissal
But it could not be done.
Turning, with deep emotion, to the
pleading offender, the Governor said to
him, firmly but kindly" can not grant
your request" He assured him that all
his personal feelings were keenly alive to
the distress which his misconduct as an
OAASOA AtO 1uN O1NSO nllu III, OuI dSSuI6u
him that he never could and never would
tolerate drunkenness on the part of those
under his control to whom public interests
and the lives of others were conided =
That for years, as president of railroad,
he deemed it his duty to dismiss at once
any man who used strong drink, because
such habits were inconsistent with the
safety ofthe lives that might be jeopardized
thereby. And much more so did he deem
it an imperious duty to dismiss every off
Ger, who, as such, is in charge of public
interests and of the lives of the soldiers
under their command. He, therefore,
could not and would not, even under the
pressure of the influence and solicitation
of friends whom he most respected and
revered, make any modification of the Or
der for which he had asked. And that,
moreover, knowing how great had been
the mischief and how infinite might be
the danger of our armies by reason of off
GERS indulging in intoxicating drink, he had
resolutely determined to extirpate the evil
by promptly demanding the dismissal of
drunken officers from the command of
Ohio soldiers.

Too Coop TO BE TRUE The Buffalo

Too GooD TO BE TRUE The Buffalo
Express says: Ezra Cornell, of Ithaca,
having conceived the idea that the ladies
of the Hospital Aid Society ofthat village
could make better progress in their noble
work of sewing for the benefit of the sol
diers if they would talk less, accordingly
offered to contribute fifty dollars to the so
ciety if twelve ladies could be found who
would sew all day without speaking. The
task was entered upon by fifteen selfsacri-
ticing women of that village, and fourteen
of them actually accomplished this very
difficult feat of self-denial, although tempt
ed in various ways by large number of
visitors and interlopers. One of the num-
Der failed in the undertaking, having been
tempted into a slip of the tongue.

A New Port for Blockade Runners.

The story current last night of the cap
tain who took ON board his schooner a
cargo of goods furnished by South street
merchants, and agreed to take them to
Virginia for the use of the rebels, but Ian
ded the goods at Rockaway and appropri-
ated them to his own use-the owners
fearing to expose him-is declared upon
good authority to be true, though no
names of the merchants, the captain or his
vessel are given. 1t is reported that the
captain offered to put some of the goods
among the prize cargoes selling at this port
of course for his own benefit. 1t does
not appear that he will be punished for his
shrewdness.-NeaUY York Post.

John Quincy Adams, with that prophetic sa-
gacity which so distinguished him, strongly op-
posed the policy of ceding back to Virginia
that portion of the District of Columbia on the
other side of the Potomac. He declared that
there were those who heard him, who would
rue the day the fatal step was taken, and that
the restoration of the territory to the National
authorities would be clamorously demanded.
The events of this war have demonstrated the
wisdom of ''the old man eloquent" and men are
earnestly canvassing the project of converting
his prophecy into efect.-W Wash. Chronicle.

DoN'T BELIEVE IT.-''Brck" Pomeroy
tells marvellous story about the cold in
Lacrosse. He says that on one of the re-
cent cold mornings his cat worth s92 in
a good season for cats) froze the tip end
of her tail to AIRED hot stove. Seeing a
frozen mouse at the other side of the room
she sprang for it, and jumping clear out
of her skin, leaving the skin standing by
the stove frozen. Feeling cold she went
back and crawled into the skin the wrong
way, and now a tail is growing on the
end ofthe cat that used to be the 'front.'
We have the utmost confidence in Bricks
veraeity, ordinarily, but are inclined to
believe this story is a little exaggerated.
