teemed friend BuNDY, the principal editor
Of the Sentinel. We suspect B. is one Of

Hope:
A correspondent of the Chicago Journal
forecasts the result Of the coming Presiden-
tial election with more than probable accu-
racy. He finds that the vote at the recent
State elections held in those States not in
rebellion against the Union. was as follows:
Union vote 1901 1892
Democratic Voe ,524 ,o29
Union majority S77,l0S
The Presidential election will call out
nearly four millions of votes, Of which the
unionists will, beyond question, cast some
600, 900 more than their adversaries. Near
ly every loyal State, except New Jersey,
will vote heavily for the Union ticket. Ere.
mont, if insane enough to run as an outside
candidate, could not possibly obtain more
than 200,O votes on the contrary, his
poll cannot in all probability reach one.
third OF that number. But conceding him
800 900 votes, Lincoln would even then
have over 100000 plurality on the popular
vote, as well as the electoral suffrages of
two-thirds Of the loyal States.
The Democrats and copperheads do not
expect to carry the election, but they hope
with the aid CT Fremont, to prevent Lin
coins re, election by the people. But sup
pose they do this, what can they hope to
accomplish The House of Representa-
tives would have to elect one of the two
candidates. As between Lincoln and Nc
Clellan, majority of the States would go
for the former. The Presidents reelcc.
ton is. therefore. already decided.

FAIR RosAMoNDE.-This sentiment is
embodied, as everybody knows, in the old
English legend of Fair Rosamonde, repre-.
sentlng Queen Eleanor, wife of Henry Ii,
giving to this fair damsel the choice of dying
by steel or by poison. This was about the
year 1873. The Publishers Circular, in
criticising new translation of Latin book
Of legends, thus gives its mention to this
popular story:
"The Queen had her taken and stripped
all naked, and made her sit between two
great fires in chamber quite closed, so
that this very beauteous darnsel was great.
ly terrified, for she thought for certain that
she should be burnt, and began to be in
great sorrow by reason thereof. And in
tie meantime, the Queen had caused bath
to be prepared, and then made the beau.
tecus damsel enter therein and forthwith,
she made wicked old hag beat this beau
teous damsel upon both arms with staff;
and then, so soon as ever the blood gushed
forth, there came another execrable scrce-
cess, and brought two frightful toads upon
trowel, and put them upon the breasts Of
the gentle damsel whereupon they imme.
diately seized her breasts and began to
suck. The other old hags also held her
arms stretched out, so that the beauteous
damsel might not be able to sink down into
the water until all the blood in her body
had run out. And all the time that the
filthy toads were sucking the breasts Of
this most beauteous damsel, the Queen,
laughing the while, mocked her, and had
great JOY in her heart in being thus reveng.
ed upon Rosamonde. And when she was
dead, the Queen had the body taken and
buried in filthy ditch, and with the body
the toads."
The body was subsequently removed to
Godestowe, near Oxford, and was met on
the road by King Henry. who tainted when
he recognized it.
The Chronicle adds :-"And when he
hal prayed, he commanded them forthwith
to ride straight On to Godestowe with tho
body of the lady, and there had her burial
celebrated in that religious house of nuns,
and there did he appoint thirteen chaplains
to sing for the soul of the said Rosamonde,
so long as the world shall last In this re.
ligious house of Godestowe, tell you for
truth lieth tho fair Rosamonde buried"
Whatever the manner Of Rosamonde's
death, Queen Eleanor was believed to have
been concerned in it, and when she went
down the Thames to London bridge, after
the murder, the Chronicle declares that the
citizens launched curses and imprecations
against her, and that she only escaped q
shower Of rotten eggs by seeking safety in
the Tower.

LADiEs.-The meeting Of reiormers at
Chicago agreed to the following "covc.
nant." They made long report excusirg
themselves ti,om The radical "calco" idea
with which the affair started. None but
the wives of very distinguished Chicago

number OF the New York Independent differs
with Lincoln this much: "A soldier with a

is like knocking a man down who gets the best

The sunshine lies soft ON the meadow and hill,
The blossom is fresh ON the lea,
We hear the blythe sound of the song-spar-

And the busy hum of the bee;
Spring with its brightness and beauty has come,
It's freshness of life and of light
Its glad gush of feeling-its glory and bloom,-
Its gaiety, hope and delight
Down in the meadow, where egurgles the stream,
O'er-hung by the alder and brake,
The cowslips unfold mid the sheltering green,
And the violets early awake.

WRITING TO MEMBERs OF CONGRESS-
As Congress is now in session, it will be
well to remind the public of ar import
ant change in the ranking privilege
Heretofore, as it will oe remembered, all
letters to and from members of Congress
passed through the mails free of passage.
Now, however, it must be borne in mind
that only the letters from a member of
Congress can pass free of postage. All
correspondence with member of Con-
gress must be paid, as are all the letters
to private individual.
This is an important fact, the remem
berance of which will save much delay
in the transaction of business both of a
public and private character. The pro,
visions of the law enforcing this prepay
ment of the letters to membgs of Con-
gress, viii also have the effect of reliev-
ing the members of that body from much
annoyance and useless labor, as it will
exempt them from the duty of attending
to vast correspondence, which, in nine
cases out of ten, owed its proportions to
the fact that ga letter to member went
free" 1t will also add largely to the
public revenue fact of which the de-
partment viii rot complain.
