SrNGULAE1r1Es OF SUFFRAGE-A nice
commentary upon the Radical demand for
impartial suffrage in the South is found in
the fact that only eight Of twenty-five
States controlled by the Radical permit
such suffrage. Of the New England
States Connecticut is the only one that re-
fuses the ballot to colorcd men. Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont make no
distiction Whatever i'll respect to suffrage,
but Massachusetts and Rhode Island do.
The laws of Massachusetts requires the
voter to be able to read the Constitution
of the United States in the English Ian
guagc and to write his name. Rhode Is
land likewise indulges in little Know
Nothingism in its suffrage law, by de-
claring that every native male citizen may
vote. In New York negroes with certain
qualifications are allowed to vote that is,
such as are worth two hundred and fifty dol
lars, and have beenin the State three. years
In Wisconsin negroes are allowed to vote
by virtue of q decision by the Supreme
Court of that State upon tcchnicality. In
Ohio the greater part of the negroes vote,
although the law gives the ballot only to
those who have more than halfwhite blood.
Darkeys who are black as charcoal can
vote there in the Radical districts under
the halfwhite law. In nearly all of the
other States, however, the Radicals have
declined, by tests in popular elections, to
give the negroes that which they so siren
uously insist the Southern people shall
give them.-New York Sun

artery. as the case might require: The
matter having been noised abroad some
what III Alton, some, persons, oiesseu with
inquiripg minds, followed them across the
river In order-to be;in at the death, AIN. AS AS
the news spread. more and mores there
came to be. quite an excitement ~ the
town among those who remained, ana SEN
\ tinels were posted in commanding posi-
4 tions, and close watch was kept lot tne
party when it should return.
:. In the process of time watchmen an
nonnced that the boat which had been
fTe;ghted with the valiant was coming
bocS and when.it was q third of the way
in its massage across the river sharp eyes
drt ected a man with his cloak wrapped
around him=slying in the bottom cf the
.Aatboat. The news spread rapidly over
the town that one of the avengers Of, no
body knew exactly what, had fallen VIC
tim to. his courage, and women'seye were
ready to weep at the thought of the havoc
that would be made in somebody's heart.
But now, as often, the near contradicted
the far. When the boat landed it was
found that some wag had put in a leg and
thrown over it cloak so that expectation
might not be let down from its elevation
too suddenly.
The victims who had SO bravefy pre-
pared themselves for the sacrifice. were
both alive and well. Their honor had
been healed by other plaster than blood.
When the danger came within touching
distance their wrath became placable. A
friend, who had gotten an inkling of what
was ons hand, had followed them, and
reached the place as Lincoln was clearing
away the brush to leave chance for a
fair fight, and succeeded just in the nick
sof time, in convincing them, as many
another man has been convinced, that
discretion is the better part of valor.o
To Mr.. Lincoln, with his quick sense of
the ridiculous, and nice appreciation of
]humos,the whole thing must have been
very laughable in after years, unless, which
it is possible, it was aslittle' bit notifying.
Whether he eyer used the story illus
,trate the ,partuition Of mountains and the
bringing sEorth of mice, I. do not know
He probably blyMonld have done so had he
not himself been the hero.

Marriage is the mother Of the world,
and preserves kingdoms, and fills cities,
and churches and Heaven itself. Cell
bacy, like the fly in the heart of an apple,
dwells in perpetual sweetness, but sits
alone, and is confined and dies in singu-
larity but marriage, like the useful bee,
builds a house, and gathers sweetness
from every flower, and labors and unites
