CARL ,SCHURZ ON TIE SITUAT ATYON.

General Carl Schurz, in his paper, the Chicago
WeS,ttche Post asks the Illinois &ddLs- Zettang
Whether II is in favor that the Republican Ma
tional Convention next year shall in it's plat
form expressly condemn the SYSTEM OF recon
struction based upon negro suffrage? Further,
whether the Illinois Stats ZeltUng thinks it
possible that the system of reconstruction which
contains negro suffrage as substantial part
could be entirely ignored by the Republican Ma
nonal Convention? and whether the Republican
marty wSuld not, in this case, go to pieces? Gen.
Carl schurz TANKS that nothing would more de-
moralize the party than retreat in the re-
construction question, and no experiment
could &c more dangerous than to sound the
signal TO such a retreat. But, says Carl
SchuTZ, IL the reconstruction plan based
upon negro suffrage must and shall be one OF
the cardinal points of the National Republican
platform, would the Illinois StddtS-Zetung have
the National Convention declare that the Repub'
lican party was in favor OF negro suffrage in the
Southern States, but did not care about negro
sufarge in the North? or does the Zet,ung
believe thata mere silence about this point would
answer? The Stats. Zettltng will finally have TO
admit that, lust as it has been political neces-
slty to make negro suffrage principal part of
the system of reconstruction, it will be logi-
Cal and political necessity that the Republican
party, in its National platform, shall take 3
clear and decisive pS9scion IN regard to negro
suffrage This necessity is a "fact" whlch leaas
us TO wish that all the leaders and organs OF the
party may have the courage ana the oetet NINA -

NEaXiniIian.

General Lew. Wallace publishes, in
the Chicago Tribune, a letter on the
Mexican question, more particularly
on the execution Of Maximilian, from
which we quote as follows:
Without the slightest hesitation, and
speaking from what l know, as having
been seen with my own eyes and heard
with my own ears, it is my Judgment
that, next to JEFF Davis, Maximilian
was the greatest criminal whom the
country has yet seen. And the judg-
ment has been formed with direct ref
erence to charity, mercy and humani-
ty, all which appear to have been 30
shocked by the Austrian's death. 1t
is further my jugdment that no people,
in any age or country, not excepting
our own in the recent rebellion, ever
suffered as much at the hands of their
ruler, lawful or unlawful, as the Mexi-
can people suffered from Maximilian'.

CHAPTER VIII,
ALEE's S DEATH.

The next day he peeled the bark
from the trunk Of a young cork tree,
and made coffin for the bodies Of his
wife and child; vowing to bury them
by the tomb of his patron saint, in the
wood of Sahel, as soon as his wounded
feet would permit him to undertake
the labOrious task.
Three weeks had passed, and Alee's
feet were much recovered so, placing
the bier upon his shoulders, and taking
with him a fas, he took his way to the
sanctuary, which was good six miles
from his solitary abode; and there be
buried the remains of her whom he had
loved so dearly; and then he took an
oath, over the fresh-dug grave, to
abandon the life of robbcr, and to
visit daily, Until death, the tomb of his
lamented Rahmana. Being no longer
provided with mono by his friends,
who all supposed him dead, and bound
by oath not to commit violence, poor
Alec subsisted on acorns, or such roots
of the forest as he could procure or
else, crouching by the roadside with
muffled face, begged bread, for the love
of God, from the passers-by.
Rumors now got abroad that fig
ure like that of the famous robber had
often been seen sitting near the sane
tuary of the Sahel wood; and orders
came down from the court to the Kaid
of Laraiche to inquire into the truth
Of these reports; and should Alec, the

God Made Everything.

Can you think of anything that

make oysters, Robbie p
oh, because--because-- should
think most anybody could make an
oyster
Maybe some of the little folks think
Just as Robbie did-that an oyster is
nothing but soft, helpless, pulpy
thing, without head or feet, or any
particular shape, shut up in rough,
ugly shell, the most helpless, ungainly
thing in the world. But you are very
much mistaken God showed just as
much love and wisdom in making the
oyster as he did in making the beauti-
full bird that sings in the tree-tops.
His home was down under the salt
water, and his food was brought by
the constant motion of the waves, not
into his mouth, but into his stomach.
He had no need of eyes to watch, or
of lungs to breathe; the great salt bath
did it all for him. He was TO live only
near shore and in shallow water, so
he had no need of feet of fins to help
him on his travels. But his delicate
tissues needed the most careful protec-
ton and so he was provided with q
shell-ugly, rough, and hard without;
smooth, glistening, and pearly within
"a wonderful house, that no tempest
can sweep from the rock whereit grows;
but this limp, little inhabitant can open
the doors wide when he pleases, and
shut them so fast that no mans fingers
can open them. You must put in a
wedge and break the lock first, and
then they fly open. Every creature
which God has made is exactly fitted
for the place where he meant it to live;
and the more we examine his works,
the more we shall be filled with won.
