sistahce from the Government must be
 abandoned by those who desire to emi
 grate to the country 1 have no doubt that Mexico has resources which, under a stable government and with capital and la
 Dor sufficient, are susceptible of "a very con siderable development; but those who go thero expecting to find tho beautiful and fruitful land which is described in some of the published accounts, will be doomed to
 as sad dadisappointmenta that experienced
 by the old Spanish conquerors in their search for the lfabed Elderado. On the
 railroad which is being constructed from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico practical and experienced engineers, contractors and
 mechanics may find employment, but totha
 erwise very few positions are open toethose
 who do not wish to cultivate the soil. l Physicians who can speak the language can get permission to practice their pso- l fessions, but beyond this there is no open- ing whatever for any of the learned pro | fcssions.
 As to the stability of the Government, I will state that I have no information,
 except what may be obtained by any so- journer in the country who cannot speak
 the language. Though l remained in the
 national capital for nearly three months,
 did not see, even casually. so far as |
 know, the Emperor, Empress, or any min ister of the Government, nor did seek to
 see them II think, however, that ] am warranted in saying that any one who de-
 sires to make Mexico his permanent home, must do so without reference to the
 duration of the present Government. In l formation as to the length of time which l that Government is to be maintained in
 the country, is not to be obtained in l Mexico. ls ia a'
 | Ihave not advised any of my personal
 friends to emigrate to the country, and my
 knowledge is not sufficient to justify me 1 ia now giving my positive advice either
 way but, though my swn determination
 to remain in exile is unchanged, 1 feel q l deep interest in the welfare of all my 1 eountrvmen of the Southern States, and
 the knowledge which Ilobtained from my
 own observation, as well as from the ln- formation of others, is sufficient not only
 to authorize me but, inl my estimatlon, to
 make it my duty to advise all those who arc desirous otseeking pew homes not to give upstheir present. ones and emigratc to | Mexico until they shall have examined the
 country in person, orascertained, through some friend on whose judgment and expe7 riencedhey can rely, that their situations may be bettered. Above all, let no man
 who has wife and children carry ithem to Mexico until he has secured certain
 home and fair prospect eff support tor them. By observing this caution much

This place 10 the county seal of lroquois
county. and its post Office is probably the
most important IN the county. From it's esiab-
lsnmeut unlli now Asa B. Rod, n loyal naa
and supporter of Mr.. Lincoln, has been
postmaster
The other evening An om,nous looking
package arrived by mail addressed to one
Jouvenat, editor of the Copperhead Herald
published at this place. and presently it WAS
nosed about the streets that he had been ap
p,inied Postmaster for Watseka The Cop
perheads were chuekling in their boots; the
Union men were indignant We had been
expecting change. but such a change ~
that we had not anticipsted. A johnson has
ribbed it this time. And as If to make it
hnri Is keen possible, man has been ap-
pointed who, it is notorious, has been IN the
rebel army; and st the same time his salary
has been Increased six hundred dollars. The
salary Of Mr.. Rolf was three hundred and
twenty dollars, the salary of Joyenat is TO be
n,nc hundred aad trenty. The object of the
increase Of salary is obvious enough to all
who understand the circumstances. The
Herald, of which Jouvenaris editor, has never
been self-supporting institution. Two or
three leading Copperheads have, for years
past, been freely bled TO keep it up. Now
the Copperhead organ is TO be run at the ex-
peuse OF the United States Treasury. The
Copperhesds themselves do not pretend to
deny that Jouvenat has been in the rebel mr.
my. His near relatives hive in Alabama and
are violent secessionists. Since he has been
in this county he has mainly associated with
our nearest Copperhesds-those who damned
the loudest about Mr.. Lincoln being tyrant
and usurper, aud denounced the war as m
Abolition war.
Ii is notorious about here that one "Gene
raj Black, who performs antics on the John
son hand organ in this Congressional District,
controls the appointments for the district,
and it is supposed that this is one of his ways
of "conciiiating our Southern brethren and
restoring the Union.
This one act has done more to give people
here lively sense Of the complete identi6-
cation Of the Administration with the Cop
perheads than anything that has occurred
1t is bringing i. home to us-we have been
reading about it heretofore. We are getting

Reading Aloud,

"I think ii is much TO be regretted that
this charming accomplishment is not more
cultivated by ladies' You see half dozen
girls in family, whether they are musical
or not doomed to hours of daily practice on
the piano, which is in fact often so many
hours of precious time wasted. How few
ever play sufficiently we'll to be listened to
with pleasure; and many of those who do
play decently give it up as soon as they are
married. am Lot speaking against music
let those who have real taste devote
themselves to it, but certainly it ought not
to be viewed as an educational necessity,
like geography or history. Now there are
few people who carnot be taught to read
well, anG there are thousand ways in which
a good reader can give pleasure. When
fathers and husbands come home tired from
their professional duties of the day, how
pleasant it is to them to have the paper, or
some good review read aloud by wives or
daughters. But to do this well a certain
amount of study is requisite first of all it is
necessary to acquire habit of sustaining
the voice; then one must learn to modulate
the tones, to attend to punctuation, and,
above all, the reader must have fair appre-
citation of the authors meaning. This in
wolves study of general literature, which is
sadly needed by most young ladies who are
supposed to have finished their education.
1t is impossible to estimate sufficiently the
Importance of reading aloud in the family
circle. Children are wonderfully impressed
by hearing poetry their tastes are formed,
and their minds stored with knowledge,
often far beyond their years, if they have
been brought up where the English classics
are read aloud and talked about. And in
after life how often, amidst turmoil and
trouble, some scrape ofpoetry or prose comes
back to us in the tones in which we heard it
read. Some noble sentiment-some pure
thoughts thus forever associated with
"the tender grace of day that is dead, "and
with ''the sound of voice that is STILL" 1t
has always struck me that true refinement of
mind is more shown in this simple accom-
plishment than in almost any other"

Trinity Church Troubles.

A year ago Trinity Church was, financially,

annum. In its poorest days it had practiced
economy with great success, and on entering
on its prosperous career it found that it could
do business in the same style at an annual
expenditure of only sixty thousand dollars.
This would have left. and probably will
leave. the yestry a handsome sum at the end
of the year, unless the numerous claimants
who have suddenly sprung up succeed in es-
tablishing their claims 10 the property which
has reverted to the Trinity Church corpora
tion. There are not less than 700 claimants
for various portions of the reverted property;
and Trinity Church has the prospect before
it of a generation or two of litigation. This
state of Affairs is another of the wipdfalls for

with his declination of the French mission.

the promissory note he received from the
widows hands, "that | had very ugly dreams

to purchase my commission with, and then
that made up the loss by promising"

Meena, look up my love. 1t is our wedding

That very day two weddings were ccle-
brated in the farm house, those of Captain

the yet beautiful and wealthy widow. The
captain never tried his luck again at any

1.-THE females of the present regeneration are
a heap more independent than they used to

know belonged to the historical class of
society, with her dress all tucked up to her
knees, her hair all buzzled up like as if size
hadn't to comb it for week, and one of
her granmother's old caps in an awful crump-
led condition on her head. Why, laws no.
ney, when was a gal, if any of the fellows
came along when had my clothes tucked

old white rag, why would run for Gear life,
and hide cut of sight Well, the gals then
were innocent, unconfscated critters: now
they are what the French would call
'blazes.'" I M
