The Great Family Oyster Depot-As the
season is at hand when epicures can indulge
with safety in plate of delicious bivalycs,
it is a matter of considerable importance to

good at reasonable prices. J. Kreusen &

want long felt by housekeepers by providing
a place where you can purchase oysters
either by the quart or in the shell, at market

rely on getting them pure and fresh. We

feast, TO give them call.
Bad Bogs.-Wc are informed that the bad
boys who infcst the vicinity of Fifth and
Pine Streets, have several times broken the
windows of Public School No. z, putting

that the Visiting Committee OF the School
will pay five dollars reward for such infol.
nation as will lead to the detection and con.
viction Of the offenders.

A JOURNEY OVER THE PLAINS.


Lieut.. Gen. Sherman's tour over the
plains, has brought out some very reada
bic matter from correspondents travel
ing with the party. We reproduce the
following from the correspondent Of the
New York Post: must introduce to
you one more character, scarcely less
famous than Kit Carson, for his personal
prov ess and wild lite and adventure.
As h. comes towards US we are struck
by hi singular appearance His red beard
grows III patches. the intervening beard.
growing skin discolored and destroyed;
he wears blue goggles TO shield his weak
eyes from the suns gl1e-weak. but
clear and quick as ever; and his face is
almost ghastly in its signs of suffering.
II. walks with cane, and there is
stiffness in his moyemen which betrays
the soldiers honorable wounds. This is
Albert II. Pleltfer, Lieut. Colonel Of
Carson's regiment Born in Friesland,
he came to this countrya quarter of a
cenu,y ago, a.d during all that time he
has served his adopted Government IN
various stations as a private in the
ranks. as all explorer Of new countries,
as a guide through passes known only
to him and the Indians, as an Indian
fighter or paciica,or, as the case de-
mands.
You will not wonder at his limp and
his Stiffness when you know that he is
SCARED with nearly twenty wounds; that
he carries embedded IN his body some
1nuian souvenirs Of bullets, and that
two frightful scars show where an arrow
i,as pierced him directly through the
body, just below the heart--and his
countenanse will lose that ghas,ly ap.
pearance when you have heard the old
brave talk for few moments, and tell
you how he became 80 shockingly scar

quancy to the low smooth tones

.Yes, I will tell you about II, If you
really want to hear it-though l don't
often care to think OF 1t at all, for IL was
a nasty business. It happened IN 1868.
when I wss captain IN my regiment, and
VIVA stationed at Fort MCrae, in New
Mexico. Those id red skins had put
some Of the poison, what they used tor
their arrows, where l handled II. and
poisoned my face and hands. 1t was
dreadful that sickness; and l went 10

fort. They are very good for such
things | took few Of my men with
me- for protection, and to keep guard

were no many Of these red devils about.

way to OF once concede tha suffrage,
making issue only on the degree to
which it shall be conceded We know
that many Democrats have not reached
this advanced view of the case, and that
such still feel greatly inclined to revolt
at The position OF negro suffrage in any
degree; but let Us tell them that it Is al.
ways wise to accept the inevitable when
the inevitable comes. Negro suffrage,
we say, is inevitable, and whether it
shall be qualified or universal, depends
upon the promptness or otherwise with
which the Democratic party shall moye
with reference to it. The South will
speedily yield qualified negro suffrage
upon motion OF the Democratic party;
because, if no other reason, she will
sovn see, il she does not already see,
that if she does not yield it, she will ul-
timately be compelled to accep, nniverA
sal negro suffrage.
Qualified nsgro suffrage yielded by
the Southland by this we mean impair.
tial suffrage, or suffrage dependent upon
the intelligence of the man, irrespec>
tive OF color, az is noD the rule in Mdssa
chuseits,-the negro question will hav
been disposed OF, and the occupation o
the Northern Republican Radical party
will be gone forever. Not one inch OF
ground will lit have to stand upon and
the country can once more turn to those
material questions Of public policy, the
right disposition OF which is SO essential
TO the public prosperity. 1t will be upon
these questions that the Democratic
party will triumph, and it will be this
triumph that constitutional government
and our federal system will be preserv-
ed.
If the South be wise, it will not wait
on this suffrage question, even for the
motion Of the Democratic rar,y. II it
be wise, it will loose no time in putting
IN motion the necessary machinery by
which i, will at some time save itself
from. humiliation, preserve its own self
respect, rid the country Of the most
vexatious question that ever distracted
any country, kill the worst political par
" that ever existed on the globe, and
put the Union in the way Of speedy
restoration The machinery consists, ot
course, in cunventionlsts TO revise the
State Constitutions.

SCENE AT THE DEATH BED OF MIR.
LINCOLN.

AT Carlisle Pa, recently the Presby-
terian Synods of the Old and New
Schools being in session at the same
place, the tw bodies met in communion
with great harmony. Rev. DR. Gurley,
pastor OF the church in Washington
which Prest Lincoln usually attended,
in a speech al the table, gave the follow.
ing narrative, which has never before
been made public:
When summoned cn that sad night
to the death ed of President Lincoln,
entered the room fifteen or twenty min
utes before his departure. All present
were gathered anxiously around him,
waiting to catch his last breath. The
physician, with one hand upon the pulse
OF the dying man, and the other laid
upon his heart, was intently watching
for the moment when life should cease.
He fingered longer than we had
expected. At last the physician said =
He is gone: he is dead
Then l solsmnly believe that for four
or five minutes there was not the
slightest noise or movement in that
awful presence. We all stood transhx-
ed in our positions. speechless, breath
less, around the dead body of that great
and good man.
AT length the Secretary Of War,who
was standing at nv left,. broke the
silence and said, Doctor, will you say
anythingF Ireplied, i will speak to
God SAID be, do it just now
And there, by the side OF our fallen
chief, God put it into my heart to utter
this petition, that from that hour we and
the whole nation might become more
than ever united in our devotion to the
cause OF our beloved, impsrilled country.
when l ceased, there arose from the
lips OF the entire company tervid and
spontan .ops Amen
And has not the whole heart Of the
loyal nation responded 'Amen7'
Was not that prayer, there offered,
responded to In most remarkable man>
uer9 When in our history have the
people of this land been found more
closely bound together in purpose and
heart than when the teegraphic wires
bore all over the country the sad tidings
that President Lincoln was dead 2
