The Quarrel Between DantOn
and lkObcsperrte-Sui and
stevens.

Sumner and Stevens, the would>be imi>
tators of the French Jacobins, RObcspierre
and Danton, like their illustrious proto-
types, have had quarrel. Stevens de-
nounces Sumner and Sumner attacks Ste
vens. The Central Directory IS divided
even as the Jacobin Club was divided in
1913. The leader of the malignants in
the Senatorial branch Of the Rump, speak
ing of his House compeer (stevens) said
recently, his { Mr.. Stevens') proposition is
"utterly reprehcnsible" and "unpardon>
able;" ''to be encountered as public en-
envy" "positively endangering the peace
of the country" and covering its name
with dishonor.' ~ 'cickedness on a
larger scale than the crime against Kansas
or the Fugitive slave Law; gross outrage
ous, an incredible injwstice against the
whole African race" &c, &c In reply,
MIR. Stevens said Sumner had employed
"every other vulgar epithet which polished
cultivation could command" /" 1t was
slaughtered by purile and pcdantic crti-
cism, by perversion of pathological def
milton which, if when l taught school a
lad who had studied Lindley Murray had
assumed, | would have expelled him from
the institution, as unfit to waste education
upon"
Further on he speaks Of Sumner as a
"sclf righteous Republican" "modern
oatamount' and a murderer"
1t is pleasant to know that these men
entertain for each other the same opinion
that the sensible and intelligent part of the
whole country expresses for both of them,
and it is to be hoped that this fight, in its
termination, will be like of that celebrated
quadrupeis in Ireland, whose example is
to often used to point moral or adorn a
sale"

The Prize of Virtue.

The claimants for the Monthyon Prize
of Virtue, given every year in Paris, are,
this year, ballet girl and g Sister OF
Charity.
Listen to the life of the Sister Of Char
ity: She is of high family; has left the
world and all its seductions for a life OF
hardships and trials; she is up at four
o clock in summer, and five o'clock in
winter; and spends the whole day at her
devotions and in attendance on the sick.
She has begged for the charge of the
contagious ward at the hospital, and is
never 10th to perform those offices from
which others shrink She has watched
the Aeeting spirit as it passed away, and
comforted the survivors with sweet words
and religious consolation, in her leisure
moments-for she finds even time for
leisure-she works for the poor children
of the patients, and has clothed with her
own hands more than sixty children who,
but for her, would have run about the
streets in rags By her care are these
children made to attend school and cate
chism; and thereby iu the measure OF
her intelligence has she saved their i'm
mortal souls. For this cause is she now
brought forward by her friends to receive
the reward of virtue, for surely never
was virtue so great as hers
But wait and listen to the life OF the
figurnnte of the Porte St Martin
She is young, but nineteen years Of
age, very pretty and graceful, or she
would not be made to dance in the front
row in the ballet which invariably adorns
the third act of the gloomy melo-drama
of the terrible haunt of perjury and
crime. She, too, rises with the sun, and

A Lost Child Of the Regiment A sad
Case.
The Raleigh Standard says:

The Raleigh Standard says
When Sherman's army stopped at
SmithGeld, in this State, about fifteen
months since, there was found with it
a little girl, five or six years of age, of
bright countenance and pleasant ways,
evidently well bred thus far, who, the
soldiers said, followed them from South
Carolina or Tennessee The corps to
which the little girl seemed attached,
camped near the house of lady who
had a little girl of nearly the same age,
and the two little ones became so fondly
attached that the lady induced the sol
ders to give the child to her, and she has
been with her ever since. The child has
dark eyes and is quite pretty. She had
been so long with The army that she
could give no intelligent account Of her
home. The lady who has possession of
this little wanderer is very much attached
to her, and treats her in every respect as
her own daughter. Parties interested
are referred to the Baptist minister,
Smith6eld, johnson county, North Caro-
lima. The papers of South Carolina,
Georgia, and Tennessee, are requested
to copy this information.
