There is one item in connection
with the premium awarded to Mr.. W.
jackson for the best pair of matched
horses, which ought to be explained, as
a gross swindle was perpetrated upon
the society in obtaining it by Judge
K. G. Babbitt Of Greensboro, and an
other man whose name we have not
learned, in order to obtain it. Nei-
Their of the horses belonged to Jack.

Babbitt and the other to his confed.

er for days before the fair and were
well broke; they were then placed in
the hands of jackson to own till after
the fair, and he drew the premium of
$500 On pair of matched horse,
that belonged to two other men,
JuuSe baDDltt was one OF the com
mittee and as he was one of the par
ties to this petty meanness he was of
course just big enough as committee
man to give himself the first premium
as a swindler. We get these facts
from three prominent members of the
society.

1t is impossible to conceive a sentence
more detestsble. especially as it comes from
q Journal Published in Washiugton's native
State. 1t is refreshing to know that all
such traitors aud mscreants are to be at
once placed under Military rule. They may
spout treason aud blaspheme the sacred
name OF George Washington as much Is
they hike, but II they attempt to carry their
doctrines luto practice they will find that
the strong arm Of the Federal Government
wields an inyincible sword. The Iader Of

they was Reubens bonds, Mr. Ducklow ?
Yes, that is, -stammered the adopted

Intentionally, struck in the adopted

Now look here What am | to under

Wal? now its understood! Here, Reu-

And Miss Beswick, drawing them from her
bosom, placed the precious documents, with
formal politeness, in the glad soldiers agi-
tated hands.

that they we're genuine and real, 'Sophrouy

The news went abroad. Again congrat-

been dreadiug to see Miss Beswick come
round with her proposed subscription paper.
Among the rest the Ducklow's reioiced
not the least, for seishness was with them,
as it is with many, rather a thing of habit
than fault Of the heart. The catastrophe
of the bonds broke up that lifelong habit,
and revealed good hearts underneath. The
consciousness of having done an act of jus
tice, although by accident proved very
sweet to them; it was really a fresh sensa
ton; and Reuben and his dear little family,
saved from ruin and distress, happy thank
full, glad, was a sight to their old eyes such
as they had never witnessed before Not
gold itself in any quantity at the highest
premium, could have given them SO much
satisfaction and as for coupon bonds they

Two Lizzie Eseira OF Esoots.

Two little pairs of boots tonight
Before the fire are drying;
Two little pairs Of tired feet
In a trar1e bed are lying.
The tracks they let upon the floor
Make me feel much like signing.
Those little boots with copper toes,
They AN the livelong day,
And oftantimes almost wish
That they were miles away,
So tired | am to hear so oft
Their he IVY trsmp at play.
They walk about the new plowed ground,
Where mud in plenty lies;
They roll il up in marbles round
Then bake il into pies;
And then at night upon the floor
Ia every shape it dries.
To-day was disposed to scold;
But when look tonight
AT the little boots before the fire,
Win copper toes so bright,
think how sad my heart would be
To put them out of sight;
For in trunk upstairs I've laid
Two socks OF white and blue;
If called to put those boots away,
o God what should | dor
l mourn that there are not tonight,
Three pairs instead OF two;
mourn because I thought how nice
NV ne}ghbor ''crCss the way"
Could keep her carpets all the year
From setting worn or grey;
Yet we'll know she'd smile to own
Some little boots to-day.
: We mothers weary get and worn
Over our load Of care
But how ge speak OF these little ones,

What would our Greatdes be tonight

veus uttered when, at the close Of the first
session Of the Historic Congress, he rose to
close the debate on the plan Of the recon-
struction committee, and which then had a
pathos almost depessing to-day are
full Of joyous inspiration. Time that brings
justice at last to all, has translated them
into action. Bright in the foil of enduring
deeds, they glow with immortal lustre, like
apples of gold in pictures of silver
Sin my youth, in my manhood, and in my
old age, | have fondly dreamed that when
any fortunate chance should have broken
up for time the foundations of our institu-
tions, and relieved US from obligations the
most tyrannical that were ever imposed IN
the name of freedom, the intelligent, free
and just men Of this Republic, true to their
professions and their conscience, would have
so renlodelled all our institutions as to have
barred them from every vestige OF human
oppression, of Inequality of rights, OF the
recognized degradation of the poor and the
superior caste of the rich i'm short that nc
distinction would be tolerated in this Purl'
he'd Republic but that which arose from
merit add conduct

And, if we happen to have written any

passage picked out by leaden mediocrity to

to posteriJy-I have had all | could do in
Strengthening out the crookedness Of this
present evil and perverse generation, and |
| see clearly that | shall be out of breath
before finish the Job And it is rather
sad to think that, before 1900, some anti

| over great baleful files of old papers in the
Astor Library, and will there stumble
across my name and, perhaps, alight on
| some paragraph that fires his curiosity,
and will thereupon set on foot inquiries con-
corning me, which will result in satisfy

one fourth to half an inch in diameter. =
When from one to two feet high it throws

minor branches in the same way from each
branch, till near the top when they all
branch out with from six to twelve or more
small fbres in branches, and each Of
these has a small white blossom that u
sually appears in July and blooms on until
frost in the fall. The plant grows from two
to four feet high, and when in full bloom
presents a very pretty color The manner
in which the small branches leave the stem
is sufficient to distinguish it. The branch
es on this weed come out directly opposite
each other on the main stem; it almost u
Universally has two branches at the same
place, and some stalks have three; the
leaves come from the main stem under each
branch and are from two to four inches III
length, including the STEM 1t may be
well to mention in this description, that
there is,in many places where this milk

ANDREW JOHNSON, in his reconstruction

white rebels On this subject let johnson
cope with Johnson. On the 21st of April
1855 (six days after he was sworn in as
President of the United States,) Mr.. john
son, abiding to the war for the Union, said
to delegation of his fellow citizens;
why all this carnage and devastation +?
1t is that treason might be put down aud
traitors punished. Therefore | say that
traitors should take back seat in the work
of restoration. If there be but ten thousand
men in Tennessee loyal to the Constitution,
loyal to freedom, loyal to justice, those true
and faithful men should control the work Of
reorganization and reformation absolutely
say that the traitor has ceased to be a cit.
izen, and in joining the rebellion has be
some a public enemy. He forfeited his
right to vote when he renounced his citizen
ship, and sought to destroy the Govern
ment. My Judgment is that he should he
