Did YOU ever see rare collection
of costly gems-diamonds, rubies,
sapphires and emeralds? Do you
remember how clear they sparkled
IN their velvet cases, until you could
not tell whether the glittering white
or the burning red, or the cool
Green was most lovely? Youliked
to look ut them, but you never
thought to eovet them--pearl and
opal and topaz suit well with the
costly adornings Of the rich, but
they are only for the .teto, and you
are one Of the many, who neither
ware nor want them.
But come With me into my gar

are not gone yet. There are late
roses,delicate and fragrantas June
asters, gay with every hue and tint
and verbenas, creeping beyond their
hounds into all the desolate places
from which the transient flowers
have gone. The vines have drop
ped enough of their leaves to cover
the ground with u rustling carpet OF
brown and yellow, but here under
tile arbor, the shade is thick, only
where the October sunshine breaks
through the roof, leaving half its
brightness behind it. Look up A
few weeks ago you would have seen,
between YOU and the sun, heavy
clusters Of cool, translucent emer-
aids; now ;he swift working or
some wonderful magic has turned
them into purple amcthists, dantily
frosted with silver bloom. Pleasant
to the eye and delicious to the taste
not rare and costly, but piled
among the twisted vines, as il Ma
turc delighted in giving. They are
not all amethysts. Pass on little

it up to the sun! Each globe Of
cloudy white shows the red spark
of the opal at its heart-and these

ANOTHER BLAST FROM HELPER.

y
Hinton Rowan Helper, of "Impending Cri-
sis" and "Nojoque" fame, has written char
acteristic letter to the National I,stelligencer,
which the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitutionali8t thus
sums up:
Helper demonstrates, from a loyal point of
view, the black and blighting sway of Radical
ism in the South, and breaches a crusade
against everything and everybody aiming to fas-
ten negro ascendancy or equality up0u the
down-trOdden States. He clings to the Opin-
ion that the negroes must be colonized in Mex
leo or some other remote region, and unless
this removal take place promptly, he predicts
that peace, prosperity and grandeur will be
banished from the land. He argues that just
as the existence of slavery tended to the deg
relation of the poor white labeFer in the past,
SO the accursed manipulatiOns of Congress tend
to general impoverishment and loss Of caste
to the poor and rich whites alike. Therefore,
the negro element must be removed; and il the
Radical party stands in the way of removal, it
must be toppled over without remorse and
without judge or jury.
He pictures the tenacity with which men
adhered to the peculiar institution and the,
evils they endured to preserve it.
He proceeds to show that, in spite Of the.
base ingratitilde and murderous threats of the
blacks, the old shareholders are still under the
spell of sable witch an1 sable wizard, and,
though impelled by principle to oppose their
tormenters politically, they still retain their
service froM habit and indulgence. 81 AS long
as the distressed sympathy continues, white Ia
bOr is made despicable and impossible. Bad
as this condition of things is, he considers the
case aggravated by the inevitable despotism OF
the Radical party and its indecent conspiracy
to secure dominion, through the agency Of
semi-barbarians. 97 eaog aI laTh
Predicating, then, that RadicaHsm is the
stumbling block in the way of the negrO's de-
portatiOn; and the negro the inpediEnent in the
way of Southern progress; he demands the.
downfall of both, in order that the White Race
may rule the country and make it-what Rad
icalism can never accomplishment, power
ful, homogeneous and renowned. aa4

ARE NEGRoEs ELIGIBLE TO CoNGREss
The New York Herald has the following per-
tinent inquiry: fs
"Under the famous Dred Scott decision the
Supreme Court Of the United States decided
that negrOeswere not citizens within the mean
ing of the Constitution. Whatever the pOpu-
lar sentiment may be in regard to that decis-
ion, it was never reversed, and remained the
law Of the land, at least until the proclamation
of emancipation issued by President Lincoln
in September, 1862. If that proclamation
made negroes citizens they attained their citi-
zenship at that time. The Constitution Of the
United States provides that no one shall be eli
gible to the United Stases House Of Represent
atives until be has been seven years citizen,
or to the United States Senate until he shall
have been citizen nine years. These facts
may dash the hopes Of some Of the ambitious
SambOs and Quashes who have anticipated the
honor Of representing some Of the Southern
districts inthe next Congress" sgis9ar es

has been writing to Beast Butler, inviting him
to become candidate for the Presidency.
The Boasts reply is refreshing. lie concludes
thus:
Twill not say with Clay "tbab I had rather
be right than be President" !" because he was
wrong, and not President besides. but I will
saw that would not sacrifice my Independence
of thought and action to be President ten times,

Jeff Davis Admitted to Bail.

On Monday morning last, the leader of the
great rebellion, JEFF Davis, was discharged
from military custody on the writ of habeas
corpus, at Richmond. The following telegram
from Richmond will be read with interest:
RICHMOND, May 13.-The United States
Court was packed this morning. A military
guard was placed around it and a strong pO-
lice force inside. About twenty ladies were
among the spectators, also fifty negroes. At
II o'clock Davis was brought in and took
seat next to the prisoners box, with General
Burton and the United States Marshal. His
servant accompanied him. Davis, sitting by
an open window, remarked at is little cold,
isn't it ?'' and he was removed to seat near
his counsel in front Of the Judge.
General Burton's return to the writ of hd-
bedS corpus was read, and the Judge compli-
mented General Burton in obeying the laws,
and relieved him of the custody of Davis, and
the Marshal Immediately served on him a
bench warrant to answer to the Norfolk in
! de. ncnt.
Mr.. O'Connor spoke of Mr.. Davis long i'm
prisonment and feeble health, and asked that
he be bailed. There was no opposition on the
part of the prosecution, who fixed the amount
of bail at $40, 900. The Judge announced his
readiness to accept bail, stating at the same
time that the responsibility of delay in bring
ing the case into court rested upon the Gov
eminent, and not upon the District Attorney.
| He also said one-half of the amount OF BAH
should be given by persons residing in the
state of Virginia. The sureties then came for
ward, Horace Greeley being among the first,
! followed by Mr. Schell of New York, and 9th
ers number of gentlemen residing in Vir-
! ginia offered their names as bail.
| Davis was congratulated by several friends,
! but there was no demonstration or noise OF
any kind. After giving bail TO appear at the
! November term of the court, Davis was taken
in a coach to the Spottswood House.
| Durinor the afternoon he held an informal
| levee, and for two hours or more his parlor
was crowded with the people Of Richmond
all secessionists of any note being present. He
| is also receiving friends this evening.
/ He advised his brother in Mississippi this
afternoon that he should visit New York i'm
mediately; from thence it is understood he
will go to Canada, where his children are, un
less he determines to have them meet him IL
New York. After seeing them he will return
to Mississippi. His friends announce that h
will live as quietly and secluded as possible
| during the summer and fall
