meeting Of the Society for tho History OF

Schneider, related an anecdote. ofM'lle Ra-
chel, who was to give theatrical perfor-
nance on the Pfauen Insel, before tho
Prussian and the Russirn Courts. The per-
Torrance was to take place under an open
sky, on the 18th July, 1859. IL was in ton
ded as d surprise for the Emperor Nicholas,
who would not hear of Mile Rachel nor
allow her TO enter his Empire, on account
of her Republicanism, which consisted in
her performance of the "Marsellaisen in Is
Az, an artistical performance, and nothing
more. However the Emperor chose to
make her martyr for her political senti--
ments and it was the intention of tho
Prusaian Court to make him q con vert.
Mile Rachel appeared, dressed quite in
black, n costly lace. Hofrath Schneider
observed to her that she could not appear
like that at court, and at q gay festival.
| One of the Royal Princessess helped her
out of the difficulty by furnishing articles

| Arrived on the island, Rachel asks for
the stage. No one knows of stage no

Russian roubles to shine before the mental
eyes of the artist, and she remained A

sheridan at Rfchm m d /.
BY G. H. BARNES.


Over the bridges, over the ridges,
laundering onward through thickets
Over the hedges, over the Lodges,
Straight for jeff. Davis's pickets;
Skimming the ground with the Gathering
sound
Of thousands on thousands of coopers
With shout and a yell, like shot and a
shell,
Ride Sheridan's blue-coated troopers
Out of the holster, out of the belt,
Loaded revolvers are leaping
Out of their scabbards hundreds of blades,
Sharpened for Victory's reapingl
"After them, boys P' IT'S Sheridans voice
''Press to the enemy's cruppers -
o, glorious sight as they fly to the fight
Phil. -Sheridan's galloping troopers
Speak to Niagara-"Gather your foam
Gather your waves to the fountains P'
Shout to the whirlwind-'Back to your lair
Bury your strength in the mountains !'
The waters may heap, and the whirlwind
creep
Up, up, to the glittering glaciers;
But meier mortal man can breast the hot van
OfSheridans galloping racers
Over the meadows, over the plains,
Hugging the name and the saddle
With panic and fear, back, back to the rear,
The 'federate legions skedaddlel
Great Victory shout ring it out ring it out
Ger mountain and river and valley
| Secessia's train is broken in twain,
| And Richmond goes into the tally

The Position of DeSerters aud
NOn-RepOrting COnScrIpts.

BY the terms of an act of Congress- an.
proved the Sd day of March, 1865, de-
serters from the army and conscripts who
have failed to report to the proper officers.
are placed In woful plight If we read
the terms OF the act of Congress Alright,
all those refe to therein have forfeit
ed their citizenship, and are to all intents
and purposes in the position of aliens, de-
barred from the exercise of all political
rights and the holding of all offices of
trust and profit under the Governments
The act OF Congress distinctly declares,
that,
Gall persons who have deserted the
military or naval service Of the United
States, who shall not return to the said
service or report themselves to a provost
marshal within sixty days after the proc
lamatlon hereinafter mentioned, shall be
deemed and taken to lave voluntarily re-
llnqulshed and forfeited their rights TO
become citizens and such deserters shall
be forever incapable of holding any Office
OF trust or profit under the United States,
or OF exercising any rights of citizens
thereof and all persons who shall here
alter desert the military or naval service,
and all persons who, being duly enrolled,
shall depart the jurisdiction of the district
IN which he is enrolled, or go beyond the
limits OF the United States, with the in
tent to avoid any draft into the military
or naval service duly ordered, shall oe IL
able to the penalties OF this section. And
the President is hereby authorized and
required forthwith, on the passage of this
| act, to issue his proclamation setting forth
the provisions OF this section, in which
proclamation the President is requested
to notify all deserters returning within
sixty days, as aforesaid, that they shall he
pardoned on condition of returning To
their regiments or companies, or to such
! other organizations as they may be assign
ed 10, unless they shall have served for a
period OF time equal to their original term
of enlistment"
On the 10th of March, 1865, the Pres
ident of the United States issued his
proclamation as directed by the law quo
ted above. There is no mistaking the
| law. Its terms and its penalties are plain
and explicit; and it becomes the duty of
every citizen to see that the law is rigidly
| enforced. Deserters from the draft-nen
whe absented themselves from localities
after being enrolled therein, and who
failed TO report within the sixtv days nre-
scribed, will now find that they have for
teited their rights of citizenship. The
law fixes this penalty; and the people
who have stood by the Government in all
| It's troubles must see that the law is pron-
erly enforced.

The Kindness OF mr. Lincoln.

The following incident, clipped from an
exchange, illustrates the kindness of
heart and the tenderness of our late Pres
ident. In November last, small, deli
cate boy patiently waited with the crowd
which had gathered in the room of the
President. He was noticed by Mr. Lin
coin, who said, ''Come here, my boy, and
tell me what you want" The boy, tren,-
bling and abashed, stepped forward and
placed his hand upon the arm of the chair
in which the President was seated, and
said,
"Mr. President, [ have been drum
mer in regiment for two years, and my
Colonel got angry with me ard turned me
off. l was taken sick, and have been
long time in the hospital. This is the
first day [ have been out. came to see
if you cannot do something for me-"
The President looked kindly and ten
derly at him, and asked him where he
lived. He replied that he had no home
"Vhere is your father ?'' said the Pres
ident
"He died in the army" answered the
boy.
"Wherc is your mother ?"
Ay mother Is dead also. | have no
father, no mother, no brother, no sisters
and bursting into tears, the boy said, "and
no friends. Nobody cares for me-
The scene was very affecting. Mr..
Lincoln's eyes filed with tears, and he
said 80 him,
"Can't you sell newspapers.
"No," said the by, "T am too veal.
and the surgeon of the hospital told me |
must leave and l have no money and no
friends, and no place to go to-"
The scene was indescribably affecting,
and the President Immediately drew from
his drawer card, on which he wrote his
wishes, that the officers shoule care (in
his own affectionate language1 "for this
poor BOY"
When the card was handed to the
drummer boy, smile lit up his face, all
wet with tears, and he knew he had at
least one good and true friend in Abra-
ham Lincoln.

A SLAVE OF JEFF. DAVIS TURNED

A SLAVE OF JEFF. DAVIS TURNED
MERCHANT.-A correspondent writes
that among the buyers from the South at
Government auction at Chattanooga,
there came an ex-slave of Jefferson Davis,
who purchased quite literally for his store
at Davis Bend, Mississippi, formerly the
plantation of his master. Thus, while
the traitor master is held State prisoner
in Fortress Monroe, in dread expectation
of a halter, his former property and chat
tel, in company with that chattePs two
sons, lately discharged from the gunboat
service, is selling goods as freedman
His name is Montgomery he is fifty
three years of age, and is as good speci-
men of the intelligent black man as can
be found. He was Jeff. Davis slave over
twenty years, and served him as carpenter
and machinist on his and his brothers
plantation of two thousand acres. These
entire two thousand acres are being culti-
vated by Jeff S former bondmen, who,
Montgomery says, are working industri-
ously, and more effectually than under
their former rule.
