| Both the secular and religious press are
rebuking sharply the delegates of the u S.
Christian Commission who paid special hon
ors to Gen. Lee. m ...-aa
The New York Independent says: .-
"We do not know who 'tDr. Parker
Boston may be, nor who the other six
Christian Commissioners were; but this we
know, that if they truly represent the Chris
tian Commission, then the Christian Com
mission does not truly represent the loyal
North, which sent that Commission into the
field and hitherto has supported it by gen.
erous contributions. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars have poured into its treasury in
aid of this work. and now the agents paid
from that treasury forsake the hospital,
abandon the bedside Of the diving Union
soldiers in Richmond, to pay visit of res
pecr to Robert. f. Lee! .;.t.
Who is Lee? He is the man whose mil
itary talent kept the Rebellion alive for four
years. He is the man who, more then any
other, is responsible for the death of every
Union soldier killed in battle. And he is
the man who starved to death sixty four
thousand Union prisoners whom the fortune
of war had put into his hands That is
the man to whom delegation of the Chris
tian Commission pays a visit of respect
We are tired and sick of the folly which
makes hero of this blood stained traitor In
our view he is the, guiltiest man in all the
Confederacy. He was not hurried into
treason by the frenzy which possessed many
Southern men at the outbreak Of the war,
but he deliberately chose to be traitor with
full consciousness of the enorrnity of the crime
he was about to commit.
No man doubts now that neglect, hardship
starvation, and cruelty of every kind were
adopted as a p0!acy by the rebel leaders, in
order either to compel an exchange
or to prevent enistments in the
North. Necessarily, Lee knew of that pol
icy, knew the horrors Of the rebel prisons,
knew the purpose and the method of his
associates There is no evidence that he did
not suggest and promote this scheme of
starvation; but whether he did or not, he
became its defender, he never Directing
to itaud by never using the power which he
possessed to stop it. He, therefore,is wholly
responsible for thesixty- four thousand deaths
which he might have prevented. He is a
cold blooded. cruel, treacherous man, COM
bining in himself many of the worst traits
of the Southern character, and loaded be-
You'd all other men with the infamy of the
cruel warfare which the Rebellion conducted
with the massacre Of negro troops, as well
as the starving of white troops. Yet to him
the delegates Of the Christian Commission
pay their respects.
Let us hasten to note that Lee received
these flunkeys with the contempt they de-
served We hope to be able to add in our
next issue that the respectable and hitherto
noble association whom they disgraced has
discharged them from its service

Decision as to How Much may be Deducted
from Incomes.

WASHINGTON, May IL
As some confusion exists concerning de-
duottoIS, abe following, obtained from the
Bureau of the Commissioners of Internal
Revenue, may settle the difficulty: The am
cunt paid out for insurance, and for usual
and ordinary repairs upon buildings and
lands, not exceeding the average paid for re-
pairs for the preceding five years. may be
deducted from ones income in making his
return This rule is applicable not only to
property returns, but to property occupied by
the taxpayers; for instance, if the total re-
pairs for FIVE years have been $500 the de-
ductions for this year cannot exceed 500,
although the expenditure may be greater
Permanent improvements, made to increase
the value of property, cannot be deducted.
Attorney Generel Speed has given an
opinion that the appointment of assista mt
assessor, belongs to the President, and not
to assessors, as by the act of 1865.

The resolutions were supported by various

There was a great meeting of the mer-

on the afternoon of the 9th, to express the
sentiment of the people at the assassina-
ton of President Lincoln. The Mayor
presided, and he and several leading mer-
chants made speeches denouncing the
crime, and expressing sympathy with the
people of the United States in strong terms.
A resolution expressing sorrow and in

SEEING THE INVEsIBLE!
BY pHGBE CAREY.

When the way we should tread runs evenly on,
And light as the MONDAY is over it all.
'Tis strange how our feet will turn aside, iall:
To the paths where we needs muet grope and
How we suffer, knowing it all the while Light,
Some phantom between ourselves and the
That shuts, IN disastrous strange eclipse,
The very powers Of sense and sight,
Yet e live so, all OF us think
Hiding whatever of truth we choose,
And deceiving ourselves with subtlety
That never q soul but our own could use
We see the love in another's eyes,
Where our own reelected is backward sent;
Or ~e hear zone, that is not in a tone,
And fnd a meaning that is not meant
We put our faith in the help of those
Who never haze been help at all;
And lean object that all the while
We know we are holding back from Its fall!
When words seem ihoughtess or deeds uukind,
We are soothed with the kind intent, instead;
And we say Of the absent silent one;
He is faithful--but he Is sick or dead
Wehave loved some dear familiar step,
That once in its fall was firm and clear;
And that household music's sweetest sound
Came fainter every day to our ear.
And then we have talked of the far-away--
OF the springs to come and the years to be.
When the rose should bloom in our dear ones
cheek,
And her feet should tread in the meadows,
free!
We have turned from death to spesk of lite,
When we knew thar earthly hope past
Yet thinking that, somehow. God would work
miracle for us to the last
We have seen Ii e bed of cherished friend
Pushed daily nearer aid nearer, till
1t stood at the very edge of The grave,
And we looked across aud beyond it still:
Ay, more than this-we have come and gazed
Down where that dear one g mortal part
Was lowered forever away from ctr sight;
Aud we did not die of a broken heart
Are we blind nay, we know that the world
unknown
Is all we would make the present seem;
That our father keep till hts own good time,
The things that We dream of and more tnsn
we dream.
For we shall not sleep; but we shall be
changes;
AND when that change AT lnst is made,
We shall bring realities face to face
With our souls, and we shall not be afraid

Woodruff's Portable Barometer.

Woodrutf's Portable Barometer.
THIS INSTRUMENT should be in
i the hands of every Agriculturist, as it
unerringly points ont any change in the
weather, and thus directs the farmer how
to shape his work and save crop that,
without Barometer, might be caught out
and seriously injured, if not destroyed.
1t is simple in construction, cheap in
price, not liable to get out of order, and
the only perfect, portable Barometer in
use. Being a Mercurial Barometer, it is
accurate and reliable for scientific pur-
poses, and is used by the q. S. Coast Sur
vey, and at the Smithsonian Institute,
Washington, besides being recommended
by the most distinguished sgriculturists of
the country, as well as by host of pro-
fessors and scientific journals.
We name few that have endorsed this
Barometer as superior to all others Sci
entific American, American Agriculturist,
Country Gentleman, Boston Journal, Phil.

Professors Henry, Hackley, Holmes, Carr,
Williams, Douglass, SC.
The cost of the instrument is within
the reach of all, ranging in price from 81
to 1923. We have five different styles,
from plain maple case to the finest carved
rosewood. Most of these styles have a
Thermometer attached. Styles of this in

The OUT-TRAvELLED TRAvELLER.-
A traveller came very late for his break
fast, and the meal was hurriedly prepared.
The landlord, feeling the food was not
quite up to the mark, made all sorts of
apologies around the eater, who worked
away in silence, never raising his head
beyond the affirmative influence of his
fork, or by any act acknowledging even
the presence Of mine host. This sulky
demeanor rather vexed the landlord, who,
changing the range of his battery, stuck
his thumbs in his arm-holes and said -
"Now, mister, confound me if I hain't
made all the apologies necessary, and
more too, considering the breakfast and
who gets it; and tell you, have seen
dirtier, worse cooked, and deal of sight
smaller breakfast than this several times"
The weary, hungry one laid down his
tools, swallowed the bite in transitu, and,
modestly looking up to the tuning land
lord, exclaimed: "Is what you say true ?"

THE LILY AND THE VIOLET.
A little star fell from the sky
Upon summers morn,
1t fell beside a silvery lake,
A lily cup was born.
The mists of heaven had formed at night
A tiny drop of dew
AT morn it vanished from the sight
And left violet blue.
A modest violet hung its head
Close where the lily grew,
You'll be my sky, the lily said,
I'll be star to you.
And sister stars kept watch by night,
And heaven sent drops ofdew,
To cheer the lily cups so white
And kiss the violet blue.
