A WOMAN was arrested few days ago in
Albany on charge of vagrancy. Her state
ment was, that while she had been blessed
with four husbands, there are none left to
her now. The first had his neck broken in
an attempt TO cross the Isthmus. The second
was killed in some OF our wars but which,
the wife docs not recollect. The third died
of cholera, and the fourth would have been
in the front during the late rebellion, had he
not lost his life in attempting to ''jump the
bounty" The woman had had so many
husbands, that she could not, "Gor tho life

DEMOCRATIC GAINs.-0ne who needed
only the uproarious rejolcings OF the Demo-
cratic press over the California election,
might think that the Republican party was
about to collapse and pass entirely out of
existence. But that is not quite the fact.
The election Of Governor in California is
the only point gained over which the Democ-
racy have legitimate reason to rejoice. We
are not certain about Congressman from that
State, but it is probable that two of them
are Republicans. Now let us see what won
derful gains the Democrats have made in
the only place where gains can do them any
good-that is, in the House of Represents
lives (the Senate is beyond their reach for
half century.) The relative strength oil
parties in the last and present Congresses is

PRESIDENT LINGoLN'sl
ADDRESS AT THE
DEDICATION OF THE
NATIONAL CENETE-
IlY AT GETTYsBURG,
NOV. 10, 1868.
Four score and seven
years ago our fathers
brought forth upon
this continent n new
nation conceived in
Liberty,and dedicated
TO the proposition that
all men are created
equal.
! Now we are engaged
in a great civil war,
testing whether that
nation, or any nation
so conceived and 80
dedicated, can long en-
dure. We are met ON
a great battlefield OF
that war. We are mel
to dedicate a portion
OF it as the final rest
ing place of those who
here gave their lives
that that nation might
live. Tits altogether
fitting and proper thai
we should do tins.
But in n larger sense
we cannot dedicate
we cannot cOnsecrate
we cannot hullow this
ground. The bray,
men, living and dead
who struggled here.
have consecrated il ial
above our power to adj
or detract. The worlt
will little note nor lonj
remember what WI
say here, but it cai
never forget what they
did here. 1t is for US
the living, rather IL
he dedicated here I,
the unfinished worl
J that they have thus 81
far nobly carried on
II is rather for us L
be here dedicated t

from these honoreC

cause for which thel
here gave the last full
measure of devotion

} shall not have died il
