The Reciprocity Treaty.

This heavy vote of four to one sea!s
the fate of the treaty. Our Canadian
neighbors will now have an opportun.
ty to ascertain what they have ma.l..
by harbouring and sympathiz,ng with
the enemies of the United States.
They may credit the repeal of the re.
ciprocity Treaty to jeff. Davis and
his agents George Sanders, Bennett
Young and the plunderers Of st. Al.
bans, not forgetting in their rcongratua
ton to include Mr.. Justice Coursol, Of
1t is the manifestation of feeling by q,
strong party in Canada that has con-
tributed to the repeal of the reciproc..
ty Treaty even more than the growing
conviction in this country that the
terms of the treaty were injurious 70
our own interests. We might have
been Indifferent to some pecunlary
disadvantages in our intercourse witii
friendly neighbour, but when tha \
neighbour becomes unfiendly and ui-
civil, when he abuses US to the best Qf
his ability with tongue and pen, de-.
clares that he can very well do with
out our friendship and that some da3ii
he will capture part of our possess. :.
ions, and especially when he. harhq:s
cut-thpoats and thieves, and incites
them to rob and murder US, why then
the case changes, and we naturally
look after our own interests in OUT
dealings with him, and regulate Gar
intercourse to suit ourselves, without
much regard to its effect on our i.it o.
rests. Rochester Democrat.

What Secession Means.

A British cavalry officer, ,who,in 1863,
slipped through the loyal States into
Dixie and participated i'll Lees Gettys-
burg campaign, stole across the Poto-
mac into Eastern Virginia, through one
of those lower counties of Maryland
which recently gave such a solid vote
against Emancipation and for McClel-
Ian as President Of the people he there
encountered, thus admirably writes to
the last Biackwoods Maoozine:
A company Of Union soldiers was

ments.

Some New Stories about Mr.. Lin.
+, w" coin. y

A writer in the Boston Watehmor
and R.feet,r tells the following stories
of the President: .n gi1mr ),
D Mr. Lincoln has fund of humor,
which, though not always digni6ed, is
harmless. 1t is ever apt and ready, and
doubtless among all the wearing sor-
rows of his public life, has Afforded him
relief when he would otherwise have
broken down under his heavy load
This .jocoseness is sometimes grim and
sarcastic. 1t is always playful, yet il
never abusive, and seldom wounds. OF.
ten it is nicely adapted to the place and
occasion, and is used with great effaot.
1t is one form of that humor that is no,
uncommon in New England, especially
in rural districts, and which, in high
er and more cultivated development
adorns the pages ofHolmes, Lowell, and
others of our literary Inen.
About two years ago, when the
Prince of Wales was soon to marry the
Princess Alexandria, Queen Victoria
sent a letter to each of the Sovereigns,
informing them of her sons betrothal,
and among the rest to President Lin
cola. Lord Lyons, her ambassador al
Washington, and who, by the way, is
unmarried, requested an audience OF
Mr.. Lincoln, that he might present this
important document in person. At the
time appointed he was received at the
White House, in company with Mr..
Seward.
May if please your Excellency,"
said Lord Lyons, az hold in my hand
an autography letter from my royal mis-
tress, Queen Victoria, which / have
been commanded to present to your
Excellency. In it she informs your Ex.
cellency that her son, his Royal High
ness, the Prince of Wales, is about to
contract matrimonial alliance with her
Royal Highness, the Princess Aexan.
dria of Denmark.
After continuing in this strain for a
few minutes, Lord Lyons rendered the
letter to the President and awaited his
reply. 1t was short, simple and expires
slVe, ana consisted slripiy VI enSsS
words:
Lord Lyons. 90 thou aud do likewise
We doubt if any English ambassa
dor was ever addressed in this manner
before, and would be glad to learn
what success he met with in putting the
reply in diplomatic language when he
reported IL to Her Majesty.

The Art or Being Polite.

First aud foremost, don't try TO be
polite 1t will spoil all y 81 .Ii
II you keep overwhelming your
guests with ostentatious entreatias to
make themselves at home, they viii very
soon begin to wish they wsrs there.
Let them find ont that you are happy
to see them by your actions rather than
your words. hoiaN aqgia rsdi
Always remember to let baslful peo-
pie alone at first. 1t is the only way
to set them at their ease. Trying to
draw them out has sometimes the con
trary effect of driving them out---of tue

yourself to takers, learn to iishn well.
Never make fuss. abort anything

preserve perfect composure, no matter
what solecisms or blunders others may
commit. Remember that it is a very
foolish proceeding to lament that you
cannot offer to your guests better

Who SACKED ATLANTA?-The Rich
mond papers have printed exciting ac-
counts of the robbery and destruction
of property in Atlanta by our troops ;
but the Augusta Constitutional now con-
fesses that the sacking was done by the
Georgians themselves. 1t gives this
lively account of how it was done:
Soon after the Yankees left, the coun.
try people focked by scores from all
parts of the country, some coming over
one hundred miles. Every description
of vehicle, drawn by mules, horses, stall
lions, jacks, jenn:es, oxen, bullocks, etc.,
could be seen upon the streets. The
scene beggars description. Iron, salt,
bacon, -four. sugar, coffee, hides and ev-
erything left by the Yankees were un-
tremendously deposited in wagons and
carts and carried off. But our country
cousins did not stop at that. They en-
tered the dwelling houses Of those alb.
sent and gutted them of all their furni-
ture. One lady, who left her house for
o few hours to attend TO pressing bust
ness, was astonished to find, on her re.
turn, all Of her furniture and wearing
apparel gone. Fully one hundred and
fifty pianos were carried OF by the hoo
siers, many Of whom were unused to
any concord Of sweet sounds" save
that produced by a ajewsharp or fiddle
One of them, an illitorate backwoods'
man, who resided in humble hut, ten
by twelve, was seen carrying out mag
nificent piano in a small cart drawn by
a two year old bullock A venerable
dame was observed trying to hand into
her cart fine piano by means Of aropt
attached to its legs When asked wha,
she was doing, she replied that she had
found a "mity nice table in thar, and
was trying to get it in her keart."' One
man alone carried off over CSC, ,0ot
worth of hides. Steps have been taker
to secure all the articles carried off, q
well as the offenders. Already much
property has been restored. 81
