Communicated
Departed this life, at her residence in the town
of Washington, parish Of St. Landry, Oh the lst
day of July, 1865, Mistress Mary Ann West
wife of John Reed.
Though, for many months. suffering from Il
most painful illness, Mrs. Reed bore all with the
patience of Christian, and with the fortitude of
an afectionate and devoted wife and mother.
Surrounded by all the affections of husband
whose soul was entwined in hers; by the love OF
three young children whose heart strings almost
snapped asunder when her immortal spirit left
its earthly tenement for better world, she gen.
tly breathed her last, happy herself, though the
cries and wailings of her husband, relatives,
friends, and acquaintance but too sadly proved
the bereavement all sustained by her loss.
As a wife, as axnother, as friend and as an
acquaintance, shJ was devoted, kind, amiable
and generous, and few have possessed as amiable
disposition as she.
May she rest in peace! She is now "where the
weary shall have rest"
But where the gloomy lights of home
In constant lustre burn,
The departed, the departed,
Can never more return"
10 4 FRIEND.

Mr. Lincotn's Story about Daniel Webster.-
The artist Carpenter says that Mr.. Lincoln once
told him the following story: While gazing at a
procession of Sunday School scholars, Mr. Lincoln
said II heard story about Daniel Webster when
a lad, which was new to me, and has been running
in my head all the morning. When quite young
at school. Daniel was one day guilty of gross
violation of the rules He was detected in the act.
and called up by the teacher for punishment
This was the oldfashioned feruling of the hand.
His hands happened to be very dirty. Knowing
this on his way to the teachers desk he spit upon
the palm Of his right hsnd, wiping it off on the
side Of his pantaloons. Give me your hand, sir,
said the teacher very sternly. Out went the righ,
hand. partly cleansed The teacher looked at i,
moment and said, Daniel, if you will find au.
other hand in this school-room as filthy as that,
will let you off this time Instantly from behind
his back came the left hand Here it is,' was the
ready reply. That will do said the teacher for
this time: you can take your seat, SIR F."

A New Culinary Invention-An excel
lent arrangement has been devised by which the
troops composing the Texan expedition, which
sailed from Fortress Monroe a few days ago, may
be supplied with warm food on the passage. The
contrivance is thus described By a correspondent
Of thesP Philadelphia inqairer:
It consists simply in conveying steam from the
boilers through system of pipes. These pipes
pass through a range of wooden barrels. The
pipe passing through the barrels is perforated
with holes. allowing the steam to penetrate the
contents Of the barrel. These barrels are filled
with pork, beef coffee, or the ingredients of bean
or rice soup. The steam is turned on st the boil
ers, at once enters the wooden cauldrons- and
their contents Immediately begin to boil and
bubble, A barrel Of packed mess pork or beef is
done to turn in two hours. Bean soup is rem
dered smoking hot and Of excellent eating quality
in one hour. Coffee, steaming and fragrant, the
chief solace of the soldier, is prepared in thirty
minutes. Every vessel in the present expedition
has been supplied with this admirable and useful
culinary apparatus, and the practicability Of the
contriyance fully tested before leaving the harbor

THE SPLIT IN THE REPUBLICANPARTY
From the n Y. World, 2lst June.1


The split in the Republican party has made
too much progress to be arrested President
johnson has taken his ground against negro suf-
frage, and will not recede. Several of the most
eminent Republican leaders, with majority of
the party to back them, have taken their stand
against negro suffrage. and they will not recede
Chief Justice Chase, Senators Sherman, Wilson,
Sumner, and others of equal influence and distinc.
ton, are ardent negro suffrage men in declared
opposition to the policy of the President; and the
first Republican State convention held since Mr.
Johnson's avowal of bis policy ON this subject
that of Iowa, on the 18th inst) adopted negro
suffrage resolve as plank in their platform The
State convention held preparatory to the fall elec-
tons will develop the fact that the current of Re-
publican feeling runs decidedly in that channel
President johnson will not be intimidated by
this strong show of opposition; and the radicals
will take courage from his persistence, being
thereby emboldened to hope that they can run
him off the track MS the Republican candidate for
the succession.
This quarrel will be likely to culminate in the
next Congress, when the radical members vii.
assume to revise the Constitutions of the recon-
structed States, and refuse seats to States that
do not admit negroes to the elective franchise
The robust structure of Mr.. Johnson's character
will cause him to stand his ground, and appeal
| to the people. The Republican Congl,ss will
| b!uster and threaten, but not dare go to the ex.
tent OF stopping the appropriations; for they wonld
thereby give an easy victory to Mr.. johnson in
| tbs Congressional elections in the autumn of
1866, and give him the moral support of the
| country.

In the South Carolina campaign an Ohio off.
Ger called at the house Of Mrs. Kett, wife of the
ex- Congressman from South Carolina (who, it
will be remembered was killed in the rebel army
d year ago), ct Bennettsville about fifty miles
from Columbia. The relct of the great fire eater
approached him, and said: 81 appeal to you for
protection; you have killed my husband, and you
have taken nearly everything have in this
world; some Of your men have just stolen my
husbands uniform which I priced very highly,
and desire above all things to keep and appeal
to you to save it for me" The officer immediate
" went in search Of the sbummers" who carried
off the plumber named, and overhauling them
recovered the valued mementoes. Just then ano-
ther party of "bummers" was seen to emerge
from the cellar Of the house with more than a
dozen silk and calico dresses and hoop-skirts un-
der their arms. Mrs. Keitt called to them to
know what on earth they wanted with such
booty as that The boys replied that they had
several c0lored females in their camps whose
wardrobes were in bad condition. 81 wish you

North Pole to the Straits Of Magellan. After
having completed the work of regenerating
Mexico and South America, they intend either to
