A Reminisence Of Slavery.

A little more than twelve Yeas ago per-
son well known in Washington became embar-
rassed, and his property in human flesh was
sold under the hammer to pay gambling debts
One young woman was sold to person who
took her to New Orleans, while her two infant
children (the oldest two years of age) were
sold to planter residing in Mary land
Mother and children separated for life, as was
then supposed. The war came on; those II
bonds were made free, and recently this poor
lave mother arrived in Washington in search
of her Ion. lost offspring. Twelve years ABS
sence had not healed the wound in that moth
ers heart, but she still yearned to press her
children to her bosom. Four weeks ago she
found them in Maryland, the oldest now four
teen years old, bound out at twelve dollars
ner wear. The mother demanded her child'
and was threatened in response to this demand
with personal violence, was, IN fact, driven
from the place and was told, moreover, that
IF nigrers were free IN Louisiana they were
not free in Maryland" The poor woman
sought out Gen. Howard, and through his
agency a few days since, the long lost girl
was restored to her almost DISTRACTED mother.
With characteristic meanncss, the person to
whome this child was bound refuses to pay
the wages due, end legal steps have been
taken TO recover the amount Washtngtoa

"A New Potato Bug.

Many Of our people are putting in q good
deal of time smuggling just now, hoping
thereby to save their potato crop. A suoscH-
Der informed us few days ago that he had
discovered new kind Of bug on his vines
which he thinks are more destructive to !ota-
toes than the little striped pests. It is .
green bug with black spots on it, generally
about half an inch in length. Being nearly
the color of the vines and working mostly on
the under side of the leaves, it is more DIN
cut to detect them than the striped bug, and
is said to be far more destructive in its ravA-

upon printer in any way whatever. It is
the printers ink that makes nine-tenths Of
our fortunes it takes money to buy ink, type
and paper, and yet, after gil this, few are the
thanks the printer gets. Give the printer
fair play and give up all hopes of gratuitnos

Closing Scene In the Lives Of Maxlmil.
Ian and his Generals

The following are additional details Of the
execution Of Maximilian and his associates
At six o'clock on the morning Of the 10Th
| the troops Of Escopedo formed short distance
from the city for the execution Of Msxfmilian
and his Generals, the people of Quersnro
locking by thousands tosee the closing scenes.
Al seven o'clock the bells tell and announce
that the prisoners have left their prisons ter
the last time, and are on their way to the caea
cution After few moments they appear,
drawn in carriages, and having large guard
around them, the Emperor first. Miramon next,
and Mejia last. The carriages stop, and the
prisoners get out. Among the conclave one
can hardly see dry eye. Tokens of dissatis-
faction are manifest.
Macmillan, on alighting, is saluted by the
people In an easy and graceful manner and
with an elastic step, he marched 10 the fatal
spot. In taking his position, the Emperor
spoke in clear, firm manner, aud with Moth
ing of bravado. lie seemed to feel his situs-
ton. and said when he was first waited upon
at home by the deputation from Mexico, Who
came with credentials Offering him the gov
ernment Of the country, he refused. At
subsequent meeting the proposition was again
presented, and he replied that If convinced
that the majority thought twas their interest
| TO place him at the head Of the Government,
| he might consent. Another deputation waited
upon him and brought additional testimonials
| Upon advice som the powers Of Europe, wto
! told him there was no other course to pursue,
he accepted the call. He denied that the
/ Court that tried him bad right to do 50. His
was case Of good faith The nations Of the
world had pledged their faith to him. He new
er would have done the act had it Lot been for
the Government of Mexico. In conclusion, lie
hoped his blood would stop the effusion Of
blood in the country.
Miramon spoke from paper. He told them
that he was no traitor, but had always opposed
the Liberal principles and always been against
the disorder of the country. lie should die "s
he had lived, a Conservative, satisfied to die
| for his country. The fame of his acts would
live, and posterity would judge whether he
was right or wrong. He closed with the
words" Tira la Emperor! Fira Ia MericO r
| Malta made no address. He went TO Esco-
pedo and said he would die poor that he had
never made an effort to make money. His only
wealth consisted i'll forty cattle in the noun
| tains. He asked that the merchants of Mata !.
moras to whom he owed considerable, would
not press his wife to pay his debts when she
came into procession of the money left her by
the kindness Of the Emperor.

THE GERMANS S FATHERLAND.

The poems bearing the above title, have
been extensively quoted in the various prints
of the day, and have elic.ed considerable Gu
riosity and praise. We give below selection
from the spirited version Of James Clarence
Mann's, English translation. For patriotic
expression and genuine spirt-stirng poetry,
it is not excelled by anything that has circu-
lated in the papers for some time.-ED.
Where is the German Fatherland?
Ist Prussia? Swabia? Ist the strand
Where grows the vine where flows the Rhine2
Ist where tie gull skins the Baltic brine
No!-yet more great and far more grand
Must be the German Fatherland
How call they then the Germans land?
Bavaria? Brunswick? Hast thou scanned
1t where the Zyder Zee extends2
Where Styrial toll the iron bends !?
No. brother, no thou hast not spanned
The Germans genuine Fatherland!
Is, then, then the Germans Fatherland
Westphalia Pomerania? Stand
Where Zurick's waveless water sleeps
Where Wizer winds, and Danube sweeps;
Hast thou found it now? Not yet! Demand
Elsewhere the German Fatherland!
Then say, where lies the Germans land
How call they that unconquered land
Isit where Tyrol's green mountains rise
The Switzers land they dearly prize.
BY Freedmen's surest breezes famed
But no, tbs not the Germans land
Where, therefore, lies the Germans land?
Baptized that great, that ancient land
-. tt.,4
Wrenched from the Imperial diadem
BY wiles which princely treachery planned
No, these are not the German land
Where, therefore lies the Germans land?
Name now at last that mighty land
Where er resounds the German tongue
Where German hymns to God are sung
There, gallant brother, take thy stand
This is the German Fatherla
That is his land. the land Of lands,
Where vows bind less than clasped hands
Where yalor lights the flashing eye,
Where Love and Truth in deep hearts lie,
And Zeal enkindles Freedom brand
That is the Germans Fatherland.
That is the Germans Fatherland
Where Hate pursues each foreign band
Where German is the name for friend,
Where Frenchman is the name for tiend,
And tyrant's yoke is spurned and banned
That is The Germans Fatherland
That is the Germans Fatherland.
Great God look down and bless that land
And give Eer noble chillren souls
To cherish while existence rolls,
And love with heart and aid with hand
Their Universal Fatherland
