AN EXHIBITION OF Periodical
LITERATURE. One of the interesting
features of the Paris Exhibition will be
the collection Of periodical literature
now in course of formation in England.
Newspapers, magazines and pamphlets Of
all kinds are to be classified and exhibi.
ted ; tie issues Of the year 1866 only
to be included. A similar collection
from the United States would be. us, ful,
if for no Other purpose than that Of
comparison and suggestion. There is
greater room for the Improvement Of
periodical literature here than in Eng.
land.
AT the London Exhibition of 1862
the royal commissioners showed a dis
position to exclude literatury produc.
tions, but the French plan contemplates
representations OF modern society in all
its forms, and expressly invites contri-
buttons of each newspaper, review, lite.
rary, artistic or scientific journal, maga.
zine, tract, pamphlet, or the like, pub.
lished in Great Britain or the colonies
during the past year, Even street
ballads are to be included in the collec.
ton.

INFORMATION WANTED.-In 1859,
the then Governor of Okio, Salmon p.
Chase, in the midst of great excite
ment growing out of an effort to, en-
force the fugitive slave law, taking
the form of the arrest, by the process
of the United States courts, of certain
persons who had released the fugitive
slave, for whom writs of haJeas corpus
had been sued out in the State courts,
thus threatening conflict of jurisdic-
tion between the United States courts
and the State courts Of Ohio, laid
down the doctrine of notification.
Governor Chase said ::
"I will only say, what I have fire.
qucntly said before, that as long as the
State of Ohio remains sovercignty,.
and as long as am her Chief Execu.
tive, the process Of her courts shall be-
executed. II X
When | am called on to act, I will
act" Immense applause.
Now, we wish to know if this Salmon
P. Chase is our Chief Justice Chase.
If this be verify so, and Governor
Chase and Chief Justice Chase are
one and the same person, we cannot
but think that the trial of Mr.. Davis
before Chief Justice Chase will he a
very awkward affair. How will null
liier try a secessionist We can
readily imagine, when the council Of
the accused justifies the ground of the
sovereignty of the States, that the
Chief Justice will feel that his posi-,
tion of presiding Judge is slightly
embarrassing. We are curious to learn
what weight Chief Justice Chase will
give to the opinions of Governor
Chase on the question of State sover-
eiguty.-Nutional mteWgenccr

AN EPISODE Of THE GERMAN WAR.
The London Mornings Heealds mill
tary correspondent gives the following
story:
A farmer, living in a hamlet nsar
Possuitz, had wife and two children,
and such was the woman's terror OF the
Prussians, when she heard they were
coming, that her husband, to satisfy her,
placed her in an under ground cellar,
with her two little ones and built up
the doorway, leaving some food inside.
The Prussians entt.ed the place, and,
among Others, obliged this poor man to
accompany them, with his horse and
cart, for a days journey, as they said
But the man was brought on from place
to place, ard at last, when he was suf.
fered TO return and reached his own
house, several days had elapsed. On
the way back he began to calculate
how little food had been left with the
wife and children; and horror stricken
at the dreadful thought that their cries
might not be heard, his hair is said to
have turned white on his homewarl
journey. His fears were but too real.
He tore down the masonri, searched
for those so dear to him, but only found
three lifeless bodies. half devoured by
rats. Reason left him by the dreadful
sight, and lie is now in hospital, lu.

knty's Story.

Mary shed no tears was past that
when the head goes wrong, no tear can
come. Sitting down on the bank, she took
the drowned child on her knee; with hel
own hands, she closed the glazing eye. and
stroked the yellow hair. There were some
towers in the dead grip of its hand, but
Mary let them remain there. Rocking the
child backward and forward in her arms,
she began to slnS-maybe she thought she
was putting it to sleep:
Hush, baby, hush-the stream runs bright;
OH -mother-come,
And take the wanderer back again,
She longs to be at home.
The wounded bird would fold her wing
Within the parent nest,
The heart is broken, crushed and sore,
And fain would be at rest.
Tho flowers 1 loved and tended once
Are fading one by one;
When the chilling frosts of winter come,
They'll all be dead and gone.
But the blossom that you loved so well,
Your own poor stricken flower,
Must lnger on and bear the frost
Of Winters darkest hour.
You'll not cast up to me, father,
The step that went wrong
There's many one has slipped as sore,
That thought themselves full strong.
You will not turn aside, father,
Nor slight my dying prayer
There's another door stands wide for me.
That may enter there!
have home above the stars,
Where sorrow cannot dwell;
To One who binds the broken heart.
My woeful tale I'll tell.
The scornful hand may cast the stone,
The bitter tongue may blame,
Ihere's One who waits to let me in,
In spite OF Sill and shame!
The next morning, when they came to
take her home, she and her child were
lying by the side of the stream. She had
gone to that other home where neither
cold nor hunger, shame nor sorrow, could
ever light on her more!-Dublin L-ishnaan.
