A BIT OF HISTORY. HOW AND
WHY MASON WAS SNUBBED BY
EARL RUSSELL.

The Atlanta( Geo. Lntelligeacer makes a
curious statement concerning the rebel
agent Mason and Earl Russell, as follows:
1t is said that after Mr.. Mason had adj
dressed several diplomatic notes TO Lord
Palmerston or Russell 1--WE do not remember
which,, he was formally notified that on a
certain day he would be reeelved-in his
diplomatic character, and an audience gran
ted him in London. Two days in advance
of the day named for his reception, Mr..
Mason repaired to London to await the
summons of the British minister to the
appointed conference.
The day passed, however, and no usher
appeared to introduce or 10 convey Mr..
Mason to the British minister presence.
Another passed, and he was still neglected;
and yet another, with the same mortifying
result. Annoyed at this treatment, Mr..
Mason, who had many personal friends at
Court, made it known to them, and they, 1t
is said, eXpostulated with the British min
lister at his cavalier treatment and neglect
Of gentleman who had been invited to
London in an official card and on official
business Whereupon the following in
substance, was rendered as an apology for
the treatment, by an official of the COVER
ment:
THAT the invitation given Mr.. Mason to
visit Lcndon and have an interview with
the minister, and at the time specified, was
given in good faith, but on the day pre-
ceding, deputation representing the united
cotton manufacturing interests of Great
Britain, had been granted an audience,
during which they protested against any
recognition Of the Southern Confederacy BY
that government, then or in the future.
That then England was upon the verge Of
general bankruptcy, owing to the vast
accumulation of manufactured goods OF
every description, and stored away in every
warehouse almost in the kingdom, amoun-
ting to a supply more than sufficient for two
years demand, besides enough of the raw
material on hand to last them for at least
two years more.
That if the war continued, England would
be saved from general bankruptcy, and moth
ing else could save her. That even it the
South we're conquered, slavery abolished,
and the labor to grow the staple withdrawn
from it entirely, it would be better for Eng
land and for its manufacturing interests.
The former could vigorously encourage the
growth of the staple In her East India pos
sessions, and the latter could have time "a
get off their accumulated stock of goods, to

A Poor Way TO Avon A DRAFT.-Dr.
Samuel S. Wiltbank, of Philadelphia. a
member of the examining board of drafted
men at York, Pennsylvania, and long sur
geon in the United States hospital ali that
place, tells the following good story on a rich
Pennsylvania Dutehman who was drafted
Anxious to avoid procuring a substitute,
and to render himself incapable of going
to the wars, he went to country dentist
and had all his teeeh, which were entirely
sound, taken out, with the exception of the
huge grinders lying back in the regions of
his jaw-hinges. Thinking himself properly
exempt, he marched off for the Provost
Marshafs office, where his bleeding gums
were examined by DR. Wiltbank, who ques-
toned him as to his recent tooth pulling,
and became satisfied that the 'masticators"
had been drawn to save the trembling Tue
ton from putting his body in peril of rebel
bullet. lie was then referred to the Pro-
vast Marshal, who, ON learning the state of
the case, ordered ''Mynheer to sit down
telling him that he could have his choice
of the cavalry or artillery After sitting
uneasily and suffering terribly with his lace
rated jaws for several hours the Dutehman
arose and asked the Marshal If he would mt
take FIVE hundred dollars and let him of. -
"Noi' said the officer, / have a great mind
to send YOU to the army anyhow; but If YOU
win bring good substitute you can 20
home. Mynheer Jumped at the idea, pro-
cured man for eight hundred and fifty dol
lars, and went his way rejoicing, aatlns his
teeth, but contented that it was no worse
with him than it was. DR.. Wiltbank re-
marks that this specimen of stinginess was
but thirty-fve years of age, and worth fully
eighty thouaand dollars -Nel0 York Pa

A NOTORIOUS CHARACTER ARRESTED. -
Quantreh, the notorious Kansas guerrilla,
arrived IN this city yesterday morning about
Ii o'clock. lie was conveyed In a country
wagon, on bed of straw, and few pillows,
and guarded BY Terrill's men, disguised as
guerrillas. He liz wounded through the left
breast, and it ii thought he viii die. All
Gne honog for his capture Is due Captain
IerTln and his company Of 'decoy guerril-
On Wednesday TerriA md his men sur
prlsed and charged ON Quantrells gang, fre
miles beyond Taylorsville, killing three of
the outlaws and dispensing the remainder.
They were also on the scent of Berry 4 cuer-
rillas, and only one hour behind them. when
they received am order to report 10 the gene
raj commanding, Quantreli has been sailing
under the name of Clark, and ii L supposed
by many that it ID not the Feritable Kansas
outlaw, but we understand that Terrill and
part ofhls company are intimately acouain-
ted with him. One f;ict that will strongly
c0rroborate their assertions Is. that a nic-
ture of q young lady was found i'm his pos
session which one of the parties recognized
as being the likeness of Miss Hickman, who
Quantrell also stated that the three follow
crsof his who we're killed, were from Mis-

outrages that he committed years ago, such
as burning the town of Lawrence, dc, are

The LAUGH OF WOMAN. "A woman has
no natural gift more bewitchingth a sweet
laugh 1t is like the sound of flutes upon
the water. II leads from her in clear spar
king rill, and the heart that hears il feels
as if bathed in the cool, exhilarating spring.
Have you ever pursued an unseen figure
through the trees, led on by fairy laugh,
now here, now there, now lost, now found
We have. And we are pursuing that wan
dering voice to this day. Sometimes it
comes to us in the midst of care and
sorrow, or irksome business, and then we
tmn away and listen, and hear it ringing
throughout the room like silver bell, with
power to scare away the evil spirit of the
mind. How much we owe to that sweet
laughl 1t turns prose TO poetry; it filings
showers of sunshine over the darkness of the
wood in which we are travelling it touches
with delight even our sleep which is no more
than the image of death, but is consumed
with dreams that are shadows of inmor-
tality.

up in some agricultural districts of persons
collecting what i termed gang Of chill
dren. whom they hire of their parents. and
let out to farmers these child-gangs consist
| some OF girls and some of boys, and some of
boys and girls mixed, and there are also

called an undertaken or driver. whose
interest it is TO get as much labor as he can
out OF the children. and his conduct towards
them is spoken of as very severe, they being
IN reality slaves This system, it seems, is
IN favor with the farmers where it exists,
and 1T has prevailed in Norfolk for thirty
FIVE years, and In the fen district in Lincoln
shire and Cambridgeshire for twenty years,
and OF late has much extended. The Bish-
op OF Lncoln stated that his correspondents
informed him that the gang system had the
most demoraliziDg effect upon the youth Of
both sexes, and fostered the most vicious
habits among them. Lord Shaftesbury
moved in the House of Lords, that the Com
mission appointed in 1862 to inquire into the
employment of children and young persons
in trades and manufactures not already reg
ulated by law, should include in its inquiries
children employed in these agricultural gangs
