while President johnson was delivering his

CHICAGO, MONDAY, MARCH 5, 1866.

dcnunciations Of the Senate by the adhereut-
Of O'Mahouey and Stephens, In fact. the
feeling agatnst them now runs 50 high that Il
Is feared that should It be established beyond
doubt on the arrival OF the next mall that
the Feniaua arc fighting IN Ireland, extremes
will be gone to hero and acts OF violence COM
mitted. Tho Senate undoubtedly did choose
bad time to pick quarrel after the arrival
OF the letter from Stephens, calling for arns
and men, and they stand now charged with
having thrown buck the working of the
entire organization, at q time when
the greatest possible activity was de-
mapded. Irisllmen outside the organ
izatfon look upon &thc present state Of
Fcnian affairs as utterly hopeless, in conse-
quence Of the s'Brotherhooda at home being
forced to fight before they were properly pro-
pared. Nevertheless the manner III which the
news Of the suspension Of the hadeas corpus
was received at headquarters gave good
grounds for believing that after all the mat
ter is not looked upon as very damaging to
tile cause. As soon as the first burst Of ex-
element was over everything went IN In the
same calm and regufar manner, and 1t seemed
Us though the news could only be regarded rs
an incentive to prompt and energetic action.
Circulars were immediately sent round to the
various circles to hold thclr meetings, and
large GUMS Of money were collected last night.
It is also understood that q mass meeting Of
Fenians and Irish citizens generally will be
held in Union Square, and the hauda Of the
Irish Republic will be offered for public aale.

Curious Chinese Stories.

. From the London Pail Mall Gazette.
There is Il well-known Greek story Of q
penniess man who, going out with rope
in his hand to hang himself, found purse
of money, which induced him to throw
the rope away : whereas the owner Of the
purse, coming back TO look for his pro-
perty and finding only the rope instead,
straightway hanged himself. A still more
curious tale, of similar kind, is told by
the China papers. In the native city of
Shanghai the parents of young lady
lately married, having fallen into distressed
circumstances, applied to her for assist
ance, and her husband allowed her to
give them coat for the purpose of being
pawned. The daughter, however, being
anxious to render further aid without her
husbands knowledge, secreted sixteen dol
lars in the pocket of the coat. The old man
did not discover this, and took it to a pawn
broker, who, noticing the money on unfold
ing the garment, kept his counsel, and
quietly advanced two dollars. Soon after,
the husband discovered that the wife had
given the sixteen dollars to her father, and
made so much noise about it that the
Young lady disposed Of herself by hanging.
In this way the news Of the robbery COM
mitted by the pawnbroker became known
TO the parents, and the old mother took the
matter so much to heart that she poisoned
herself with opium. Lastly, the pawn
broker, getting alarmed on hearing that his
dishonesty had already caused two deaths,
drowned himself in well. This story is
very characteristic of the Chinese feelings
in regard to life, and similar incidents not
unfrcquently occur.
Some years ago, for instance, an accom-
plished young lady at Canton, who had
been unfortunately married to a coarse
and stupid husband, was bewailing her fate
to a party of sisters and female cousins,
and declared her intention of committing
suicide. On this the other young ladies
declared that, since such was married life,
thew would die too; and so the whole
bevy of them joined hands together, and
walking into tish-pond, deliberately drown
ed themselves. Again, three men imprison-
ed in Hong Kong Jail on charge of pi-
racy determined to make away with them
selves rather than have the bother Of o
trial. At some height in the cell where
they were imprisoned was small
window guarded by two iron bars, and the
problem which these worthless had 10 solve
was how the three ofthem were to he banged
upon the two bars. From the position in
which they were fonad in the morning it
would seem that the third man had assisted
the two others in hanging themselves from
the bars by their tails; that then he had
cut down one of them by gnawing through
| the tail with his teeth, and, using the lead
BODY as a stool, 70 be afterwards kicked
ovar he had contriyed to suspend himself.
/ All this, too, was done SO qrfletly as not to
attract the notice of sentry, who was
pacing outside beneath the window.

WoMAN.-MrS. Stephens, the story
writer, has somewhere thrown of this eX-
celent passage: Woman-woman-tr
she is a miracle. Place her amid flowers,
foster her as tender plant, and she Is a
thing of fancy, waywardness, and some
thing of folly-annoyed by dewdrop, iet-
tered by the touch of butterhy's wing,
ready to faint at the rustic of beetle.
The zephys are too rough, the showers too
heavy, and she is overpowered by the per-
fume of a rosebud. But let real calamity
come, rouse her affection, enkindle the
spirit of her heart, and mark her then.
How her heart strengthens itself; how
strong is her purpose. Place her In the
heat of battle-give her o child, q bird,
anything she loves or pities, to protect, and
see her, as in related instance, raising
her white arms as shield, and as her own
blood crimsons her upturned forehead,
praying for life to protect the helpless.
Transplant her into the dark places OF
eaIth, awaken her energies to action, and
her breath becomes healing and her pre-
sence blessing; she disputes inch by inch
the stride of the stalking pestilencc, when
man, the strong and brave, shrinks away
pale and affrighted. Misfortunes daunt
ncr not; she wears away life Of silent
endurance, or goes forward with less
timidity than to her bridal. In prosperity
she is bud full OF imprisoned odors, wait
ing but for the winds of adversely TO
scatter them abroad-pure gold, yalu-
able but unframed in the furnace-in short,
woman is a miracle, a mystery.
