Montgomery Blair.

1t is the fashion just now, among the
Radicals of Philadelphia, to vilify Mont
gomery Blair. We are not his eulogists,
for he, in company with all of Lincoln's
original cabinet, must take their share of
just condemnation for its acts of outrage
and oppression. But, still history should
do justice, and, as those newspapers in our
midst are now dumb which, when MIR,
Blair was Postmaster General and had
patronage to dispense, were praising him,
we mean to try in modest way to help
history in her duty to Mr.. Blair There
now lies before US an ambitious volume,
in good type and with very bad wood cuts,
called " Lossing's Pictorial History OF
the Civil War;" published by George W.
Childs. 1t is perfectly loyal and ortho-
dox. Its trontispiece, n steel engraving,
is Mr.. Lincoln's cabinet, listening, and it
must have been very hard work, TO Gene
raj Scott. The picture is a curious work
of art. If Trumbuil's Declaration OF In
dependence has been irreveren!ly called
ga shin piece" this is a skull and beard
piece. Mr.. Seward certainly must have
suborned the artist, for he is the most
prominent, looking, with his hand on his
coat collar, as if, rot listening to a word
the General was saying, he was thinking
OF the opening sentence of dispatch to
Cassius NJ. Clay. Mr.. Bates looks like
an artist sketching the group. Poor Hr
Lincoln, quite i'll the shade, has the air of
ore who wanted but dared net to inter
rupt the military talk, by racy Joke.
Cameron has look distracted, and above
all towers the Commander-in-C Chief in full
uniform, sword and all, explaining the
grand campaign which eliminated at Ma
masses on the 25th of July, 1861 In
this picture, in the back ground, with
smile on his wiry face, is Montgomery
Blair And what, aside from this pic
ture, was his attitude in this Cabinet ?
Let Losing, pictorial Losing, answer the
question. On page sos Of this volume
will be found the story. 1t was the 18th
of March, 1861, Major Anderson was
closely beleaguered, and now hear loval

advice of General Scott, was in favor of
abandoning any further attempts to hold
the fort. Every member of the Cabinet

further efforts to hold Sumter would be

PRDIATIvE BEEHIvE-The following
mode of keeping bees has been practiced
in India for long period, and is said to
be very successful:
% As honey forms favorite article of
food among the Himalaya highlanders,
they have very extensive sale for it it
is therefore with them q great article of
internal commerce, in fact, the staple OF
their bazaars, where it always finds
ready vent. They obtain the honey with
out destroying the bees, By means of a
hollow cylinder of wood inclosed in the
wall of their huts, on the side most shell
tered from the weather, and in which there
is an opening without for the bees TO en-
ter. In the center of this hive there is q
movable division which is kept open
while the bees are making their honey
bat as soon as the combs are full, the busy
family is driven out by a noise made
through the inward extremity. As soon
as they have retreatcd, the central par
tition is closed and the combs are drawn
out of the cylinder from the openings on
the inner wall. The honey being secured,
the hive is again opened and the bees COM
mence their interminable Iabors of repro
duction,"

The RESTLESS SEA--The sea is not
only the emblem of change; it Is itself
the cause, directly or indirectly, Of nearly
all the physical changes that take place in
the world. Ascend the mountain summit,
and there, amid the crags, where the ca
Gle builds his eyrie, and the heather grows
IN the blue immcasurable silence Of heav-
en-, you tread the shores Of former sea,
whose shell and corals, imbedded in the
rocks, are still as perfect and beautiful as
when the last retiring wave rippled over
them.
Descend into the stony chambers of the
earth, and there in the darkness Of the
quarry you will see the petrifed skeletons
OF fish that once swan in the waters, and
the sands that formed the shores Of un-
known seas, and the undulating ripple
marks left behind by the ebb and flow Of
long g-torgotten tides. We cannot name Il
single spot where the sea has not some
time or other been.
livery rock that now constitutes the
firm foundation of the earth was once dis
solved III its waters, lay as mud at its bot
tom, or rs sand gravel along lis shore.
The materials Of our houses were once de-
posted i'll its depths, and are built on the
floor Of an ancient ocean. What are now
dry continents We're once ocean beds and
what are now sea beds will be future con-
tinents.
Everywhere the sea is still at work
encroaching upon the shore-undermining
the boldest cliffs on the coast by its own
direct agency. And where it cannot reach
itself, ii sends It's emssaries 10 the very
heart of the deserts and the very SUBMITS
Of mountain ranges, and the very inner
most recesses OF continents, there to pro-
duce constant dilapidation and change.
It's own waters are confined by the shore
line, bnt no voice has ever said to its fleet
footed winds and its viewless vapOrs-
''Ilereunto shall yc cone, and no further. y
They rise from their ocean bed, these mes
| sengers of the sea, and pursue their fight
along the sky until some lofty peak far in
! the interior arrests them, and they dis
charge their watery burden into its bosom,
forming the sources Of streams and river;
and glaciers, that carry on the work ot
! change where the roar of the sea itself Is
never heard.

What Kate thought Of a Frenchman.

a young Partisan gentleman travelling
to Washington, chanced to be seated in
the cars near two very lovely young ladies
who in company with their mammals,
were also pursuing their way to Washing
ton. The elder ladies were soon lost to
everything but their own interesting con-
versation.
The ladies who were seated opposite
the gentleman, commenced chatting in 50
sprightlY a manner that Monsieur, think
ing he might be very agreeably entertain
ed, concluded to delude his fair conpan-
ions into the belief that he did not under
stand English. Whereupon ne put on an
abstracted air, and when the conductor
came round TO demand the tickets, he
seemed to be so absorbed in his own re-
ficctions. that it was not until he had been
several times spoken TO that he noticed the
conductor, whom he addressed in French
and inquired what he wanted. The con-
ducto: explained by signs, the ticket WAS
charged and the young man returned 70
his reverie.
Feeling confident that their male COM
paniUn was unable to understand what

conversation with increased vivacity.
This young man is very handsome"
said one.
"Hush, Kate" said the other with
sort of alright.
"Why, he doesn't know a word of
English we can talk freely"
Kate, if your mother should hear
you"
She is too busy with her talk be-
sides am free to exercise my own opin-
ions, and say this young man has beau
tiful eyes"
''They have no expression"
8 You do not know l am sure he has
much spirit, and it is a pity he don't
speak English he would chat with US"
g Would you marry Frenchman %
ssWhy not, il he looks like this one,
and was spirited, well born and amiable
Bot l can hardly keep from laughing.
See, he doesn't mistrust what we are say
ing"
At the next station the conductor came
again for tickets. Our young man with
extra elaboration, and in elegant English,
said: : '.Ah. you want my ticket Very
well let me see-I believe it is in my
porimoniae: oh, yes, here il is"
The effect was startling. Kate nearly
tainted, but soon recovered under the po-
lite apologies OF the young Frenchman.
They were pleased with each other, and
in a few weeks Kate ratified her good
opinion of the young man, and her will
ingness 70 marry a Frenchman.
Kate in this instance, was beyond all
question a wise girl, and she got the best
of him too for after being made a fool
of by a Frenchman, she also made him
make one of himself
