The Man Trade in Boston.

From the old slave trading days to
the new Cody importation from the
buying off of quotas to draft TO the
buying up of venal Congressmen-the
man-trade in Massachusetts has been a
favorite traffic. 1t imported Belgisns
for recruits; bought up Carolina negroes
for the same purpose; got credit on its
quota for California regiment; and
managed to shirk the draft that fell upon
other States. 1t now shrks the payment
of its wages,
The case of Burrll VS.. the city of Bos-
ton was, on Friday, decided by Judge
Clifford in favor of the defendant. The
ground Of the defense was the illegally

The suit was brought to recover 81
OO0, 900 for recruits furnished during the
war. and the plaintiff testified that he
paid Simon p. Hanscom $500 or $4,000
for lobbying services in Washington, and
that be gave him his bond in writing for
the remainder of $50, 900. Other parties
were paid literally for their services.

Boston got the unjust credit on its
quota, by which it saved S5,000,00O in
the n-market, and now repudiates the
transaction. What makes this transac-
ton more conspicuous is that New Eng
land has received millions from the Fed
eral treasury as fishing bounties. The
fisheries were to be the nursery of sea-
men, and resource in case Of war. War
comes, and the fishermen are counted
oaly as deductions from the draft.-AI-

General Sheridan communicated
From the Catholic Church.

from the New York Freeman's Journal
A BILL OF DIvoRcE.-Our attention
has been drawn to paragraph in the
Herald and indicator, weekly pa
per published in Philadelphia, owned
and edited by o Irishman. It refers to
suggestion made by the Boston Pilot
of the name of Phillip Sheridan as a
candidate for the Presidency. The
Philadelphia paper puts on humble airs,
and says it will not do for an Irish pa
per to propose an Irish-American Cath
Ole for President. If that is all that is
the matter, General Phillip Sheri-
dan can get a clean and dirty chill OF
health I" 1t is true he is of Irish Cath
Ollie parentage. we have heard that
he was once in the Dominican College
in Ohio as q student. If so, he is the
poorest specimen of handiwofk that we
have known the Dominicans to turn
out. We have been assured that he is
a Free Mason. 1t so, and if the Lodge
he belongs to is in good standing, it
would certainly and of necessity expel
him, were some of his doings in the
Valley of Virginia to be brought to
trial-that is, except Freemasonry isas
mach altered as "Methodists Nortl.f
lla-c bccQ,
Ifphillip Sheridan wants to run rs &
Radical candidate for President we can
be of service to him. We can get him
certificates of ipso .facto excommunica-
ton by the Catholic Church! Free
masonry is badly run down from what
il used to be among American Masons,
if he cannot get the same certificate
from that religion-if they ever had the
misfortune of having him among them.
If Phillip Sheridan wants through
ticket-proving he is communicated
from the Catholic Church-and q re-
served case at that, he can apply at our
Office, and we will make out his papers
for him! The memory of what he did
to the devoted Father Sheehan, who
came into his lines, on proper permits
sion, to care for dying soldiers Of both
armies-will haunt Phillip Sheridan on
his death bed-and a good deal lower
down-except he has the grace to get
relieved from the terrible penalties he
has incurred--and which it is not every
priest can absolye him from!
Ii Phillip Sheridan is not fool he
had better hunt up Father Sheehan, in
New Orleans, and see if the good Faith
er has, or can obtain, tho power Of alb
solving him!

A Wonderful Story.

The following wonderful story is said to
have been taken from the log book of a
vessel which arrived in New York:
In the course of the voyage, that dreadful
disease, the ship fever, broke outamong the
crew. One of the sailors, among the first
victims, was accompanied by his son, a
q lad of fourteen years, who was strongly
attached to his father, and renamed with
him day and night, and never could be
persuaded to leave him for moment.
A large shark was seen every day follow
Ing the vessel, evidently for the purpose of
devouriug any one who should die and be
committed to the deep.
After lingering few days, the sailor
died. AS was the custom at sea, he was
sowed up in blanket, and for the purpose
OF sinking him, an old grindstone and a
earpenter's axe were put in with him. The
very impressive service of the Episcopal
church was then read and the body COM
United to the deep.
The poor boy, who had watched the pro-
eeeGngs closely, plunged in after his faith
Ut When the enormous shark swallowed
saem both. The second day after this
Meadinl scene, as the shark continued to
loiiow the vessel (for there were others

AUTUMN,

Welcome, sc trees, in dying verdure clad,
Weeping your golden tears on all below;
Hail, lovely autumn days, whose aspect
sad
Delights my sight and softens all my woe.
With thoughtful step, in lonely woodland
path,
love to mark the years retreating
form,
When, srmbre as the mournful shades of
death,
The suns yelled rays scarce tell the ap.
proach Of morn.
Yes, in these autumn days, when Nature
dies,
Her glory gone, all beaateons things l
The farewell of friend, the last low
signs
That watt from dying lips the last sweet
smile to me.
So ready from The shore of life to spring,
Weeping for summer days of hope long
past,
l still look back with envy's poignant
sting,
And view departed Joys which yet no
joys possessed.
Earth, sun, wales. nature, beautiful and
fair, 4.
For you, on deaths dark verge, a tear I'll
shed;
So lovely is the light, 50 pure the air,
That shines and breathes around the dy-
ing head
Yet to the dregs this emp of life Ill drain,
This mingled cup Of nectar and Of gall
Still in its depths all hidden may remain
One drop Of life to compensate for all.
Perchance, all shrouded in futurity,
Some bliss, by hope unseen, may des-
cry;
Perchance some sister soul my soul may
see,
To read my spirit with kindred eye.
The flower resigns its perfume to the gale,
Breathing its final sweetnesses ere it die;
Nv soul exhales in sorrow, like the wall
OF some low strain of lnournful melody.
