ANNA DIcxIysoN.-A Boston cores
pendent Of the Louisville Courier went
to hear Anna Dickinson the other day
and his orthodox Southern ideas became
somewhat d~emoralized. He says:
Gamma is a sprightly little cuss, and
has a voice that would charm the birds
off the bushes. Taken as a whole, she
was exceedingly nice and pretty.
don't care if she did pet Fred. Douglas,
she is pretty, by jingo /! She hurled her
rejected boulder at the audience as
gracefully as David slung his little
smooth stone at the giant. She was
severe on President Johnson, comparing
him to all the tyrants Of any standing
in ancient or modern history. She told
about Dick Taylor making the Union
men dig their own graves, and about
Bird Blackburn's shooting the two little
Union girls. She brought up that God
send for the Radicals, the New Orleans
riots; also the Memphis massacre Of
school marms. In fact, she lied like the
devil. left, wondering how a human
female could be so beautiful and be-
witching, and tell such whoppers."

THE GROWTH OF AMERICAN CITIES.

THE GROWTH OF AMERICAN CITIES
Although the United States increases in
population with great rapidity, the vari-
Gus State census that have been taken
lately demonstrate that the cities grow
more rapidly than the rural districts
Thus in Iowa, 1860, the rural population
was 5s2, $50, and in 1865 had increased
to SAC, 1853, whilst the city population
during the same period increased from
81, e4l to lO7, 800. The country grew in
population but . per cent, whilst the
cities increased more than 81 per cent.
The same thing is observable in Wis
eonsin, where the cities between 1850
and 1865 increased 81 per cent, and
the country districts but 8 per cent.
Philadelphia has grown from SIC 900 in
1860 to an estimated population of $780,
900 in 1866 rate of increase with
which the State Of Pennsylvania can
scarcely have kept pace.

Was a leading politician and statesman,
who held power for a period of twenty-one
years after the accession of the House of
Hanover. He was born in 1916, and was
educated at Cambridge university He en-
tered upon public life at an early age, and
having attached himself to the Wing party,
he became Secretary of War in los, du-
ring the reign of Queen Anne On the ac-
eession Of the Tory party to power he was
removed and impeached, according 10 the
customs of the time, by the dominant party
He was expelled by the House Of Commons,
but the event rather increased his standing
and popularity. On the accession Of George
the First, he entered the Cabinet as Paymas-
ter General, He was appointed First Lord
of the Treasury during the rebellion OF
l7l5. In l7l7 he was forced to resign,
owing to political intrigues, but re-entered
the Cabinet in 1920, as Paymaster General.
The year following, in accordance with the
popular vote, he was appointed First Lord
of the Treasury, as the fttest person to
repair the losses by the South Sea bubble.
He was retained in Office by George the Sec
ond. Inl742 he was forced to resign in
consequence of the unsuccessful prosecution
of the unjust Spanish War, in which he
engaged reluctantly in compliance with the
popular demand. Sir Robert Walpole was
one of the most dexterous party leaders
that ever appeared in the House Of Com
mons. He was man of sound common
sense. rather than Of genius To him be
longs the credit of having organized the
administration and finances Of England,
very nearly on the bases on which they now
rest. He pursued inhexibly a peace policy,
believing that that course was the most con-
ducive to the interests Of England: In this
view he was undoubtedly correct England
required repose after the exciting and ex-
hausting wars of William Third and Queen
Anne. He devoted great attention to the
development of the manufacturing and
commercial interests of England and the
promotion Of her internal resources. de
died in l745.
echaracter Of Sir Robert Walpole has
suffered in popular estimation from the
charges of corruption. But historians now
agree in at least partially exonerating him.
TO him is attributed the saying that Every
man had his own price. 7 But Walpole
however he may have bribed otAers, wa
incorruptible by money, and the greatest
fault that can be attributed to him is al
uncomfortable desire for Office His admin
istration certainly promoted the prosperity

We regard Free Trade TO be the curse Of

hence no nation IN the uorld would suffer SO
much as the United States with all cur wants
SO immense and varied, under such a system.
OftWo countries which trade freely with
each other, that which sells the products of

prices of the commodities of the world are
fixed by England, and the whole world pays

advocates Of British Free Trade assigned to
outpost duty In the United States argue to
Americans thatthey will grow rich by con
fning themselves to cultivating the soil, and
exchanging food in England for Iron. Cloth,
Steel and hardware, The farmers In Hi
nois and Iowa who sit at fires made of corn,
bitterly feel that this is wicked he The
establishment in their neighborhood of even
the smallest frctory, demonstrates that this
is lie
Why, then, should we for moment lis
ten to the clalnors of the foreign merchants
and their toadies of New York, backed by
the fshy politicians, ofdoubtful loyalty, in
various parts of the country, who demand
unrestricted free trade.-We are not radical
on this subject. While we may 90 for pro-
lection for the sake Of protection, believing
it to be the salvation Of the country and the

Of the United States that measure Of protec-
ton which, while it would promote both
skilled and unskilled labor, would at the
same time advance the general prosperity
of every other branch and especially the
greatest of all branches, that of Agriculture.

To tic Senate Of the United States

an act entitled AN act to establish bureau

for other purposes. Having, with much
regret, come to the conclusion that it would
not be consistent with the public welfare to
give my approval to the measure l return
the bill to the Senate with my objections to
It's becoming a law. / might call to mind,
in advance Of these objections, that there is
no immediate necessity for the proposed
measure. The act to establish Bureau
for the relief of Freedmen and Refugees,
which was approved IN the month of March
last, has not yet expired. 1t was thought
stringent and extensive enough for the pur
pose in view. Before it ceases to have eff
feet, further experience may assist to guide

adopted in time of peace. l have, with
Congress, the stringent desire to secure TO

Judgment, are not warranted by the Consti-

In which the freedmen most abound, and it

jurisdiction is to emanate, is none other
than the President of the United States,

the Commissioner Of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau The agents to carry out this military
| jurisdiction are to be selected either from
the army or from civil life The country is
to be divided into districts and sub-districts,
and the number of salaried agents to be en-

upon them by the bill, in eleven States. It

SADNESS.

There is mysterious feeling that fre-
qucntly passes like cloud over the spirit
Ii comes upon the soul in the busy hustle Of
lite, in the social circle, In the calm and ST.
lent retreat of solitude. Its power is alike
supreme over the weak and the iron heart
ed At one time it is caused by single
thought across the mind Again sound
will come booming across the ocean of mem
ory, gloomy and solemn as the death knell
oEeEshadowing all the bright hopes and
sunny feelings of the heart. Who can de-
scribe it, and yet who has not felt its bewil-
dering influence Still it is a delicious sort
of sorrow, and Ike cloud dimnling the
sunshine of the river, although casting a
momentary shade Of gloom, it enhances the
beauty Of returning brightness.a
