Artificial Beauty

The Baroness de Stael confessed

Onsider it cheaply bought at that

eauty, rather than genius, which all

lie means of developing and pre-

THE HHRo1NHs OF THE SOUTH.

We find the following just tribute to the Ladies
of the South, in an exchange without being credit.
ed. The authors name should be given for he de.
serves honor for beautiful production. The history
Of the past can never be truly portrayed till a
due prominence he given to the heroes of home.
Those who saw the loved warriors haste away, and
deemed it sin to grieve-who suffered in heart, and
many of whom still suffer in heart the pangs of
the battlefield, deserve the full need of love and
praise accorded to the heroes themselves who min
gled their hearts blood with the crimson tide of
conflict
The maid who binds her warrior sash,
And smiling, all her pain Ensembles,
The while beneath the dropping lash,
One starry tear-drop hangs and trembles;
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
And fame shall never know her story,
Her heHrt has shed drop as dear
As ever dewed the field of glory
The wife who grds her husbands sword
Mid little ones that weep and wonder
And bravey speaks the cheering word,
Although her heart be rent asunder;
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of war around him rattle,
Has shed as sacred blood as eer
Was poured upon the plain of battle.
The mother who conceals her grief
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then speaks few brave words and brief,
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses
With no one but secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on Freedom fields of honor
With such bcroines around every hearthstone,
lie future of the South cannot be hopeless.

One of the Generous Public Laws.

Among the generous laws of last session
is one which may justly be called gener-
Gus act, as well as most just concession to
disabled soldiers. 1t provides that every
honorably discharged soldier who is resi-
dent of Pennsylvania, and who, from wounds
or on account of disease contracted while in
the military or naval service of the United
States, and on account of such disability is
unable to procure livelihood by manual
labor shall have the right to hawk, peddle
and vend any wares, by procuring license
for that purpose to be issued without cost.
All that is required, to insure a soldier the
benefit of this act, is certificate from a
surgeon of the United States army that he
is unfit to make his living by manual labor.
The soldier must also procure certificate
from prothonotary of any county in this
State, that he is the bona fide owner of the
goods he sells. No doubt the liberal provis-
ions of this law will induce many disabled
soldiers to adopt peddling as means of
making living.

Has it the Power?


The release of jeff Davis on bail by ou,
National authorities, and the previous par
don by President johnson of Eagle, the
fend who offered a million dollars for the
head of Lincoln, has suggested the inquiry
whether the Government of the United
States has the power to punish offenders
against its authority, or not? In referring
to this subject the Pittsbug Commercial
comments thus:
''Is there no way by which the murder of
our prisoners of war is to be avenged? Is
nothing to be done that shall secure to our
rank and file the treatment of civilized war
fare in any future war? Is the record of
the rebellion to stand before the world, as
evidence that the Republic of America can
not, or will not, defend her defenders :?
England suffocated our prisoners of war in
prison ships, the Confederacy starved and
frozer and tortured and shot them down.
Why may not any future enemy do likewise?
Government has totally and signally tailed
to protect or avenge the brave men who
peried all for her protection. 1t is not officers
high in place who are likely to suffer by es-
tablishing the rule, in the face of the world,
that an American soldier may, with impu-
nifty, be starved, turned out, houseless, ma
ked and hungry, into the winter storm, or
shot down, while prisoner of war. The
consequences of such rule fall upon the peo-
pie. Can this same people, by any posi-
'blllty, elect men to represent them who will
secure to them the respect of the world and
the rights of civilized warfare? Is the Gov
ernment theirs, and can they control itY'

A London correspondent tells of very
old lady who went to shop to buy poultry.
The shopkeeper was polite and attentive.
She went often and he was always consider
ate. One Saturday evening he was busy
when she came, and asked her to step into
his little parlor and sit down. His daugh-
ter young girl, received her kindly but
looked pale and worn. The old lady hand
ed her a package directed to her father,
told her to lock it up in the cupboard and
went away. When the poulterer opened it
he found sl,0OO and a gold watch and
chain. He went to thank her, and she told
him to take his daughter out of town for a
preliminaries of getting acquainted, she
transferred all her property to him, e35, 900,
and died two weeks after. Moral. .-Civility

FROM MEXICO. intelligence from
Vera Cruz says: The surrender of the I'M
perialists was heard all along the lines The
city of Mexico has certainly capitulated.
General 0 Haran was shot there for cores
pondence with the Liberals. Vera Cruz
will soon surrender Before the surrender
of Maximilian, Juarez sent to Vera Cruz,
Puebla and the city of Mexico, dispatches
similar to that sent to Gen, Berriozabal, at
Matamoras. These state that all the I'm
perialists, their ammunition and supplies,
were captured on May 18th. Maximilian
and all officers above the rank of Lieuten-
ant are reported to have been shot at seven
o'clock on the evening of May 10th, by of
fcrs who escaped and arrived at Brownsville
on the 9th from Queretaro Private let
ters received at Matamoras state that Juarez
has ordered Escobedo to execute Maximil-
lian and his generals; and the official paper
at San Luis Potosi after narrating the par
ticulars of the fall of Queretaro states that
the Secretary of War forwarded orders to
Escobedo on the 18th to shoot Maximillian
and his generals.

Seward has outraged all decency in ap-
pointing little Johnny Hay, Mr. Lincoln 5
private secretary, Minister ad interim in
Mr.. Motley place at Viennal This whole
affair of McCracken and Johnny Hay is an
impeachable offense, for which the Presi-
dent ought to suffer, and his Prime Minis
ter with him. Hay is not only too young,
but actually incompetent for the position
He was selected to induce the country to
believe that Motley's services were of no
account, and his selection is alike an insult
to that diplomatist and the country which
delights to do him honor.

The Pennsylvania Central Railroad Com
pany have purchased the Susquehanna and
West Branch Canals. 1t is the intention of
the Company to deepen and improve this
line, and use it to assist the Railroads in
getting the immense lumber trade to mar
ket. The lumbermen of Williamsport are
hampered and their business curtailed TO
some extent, in consequence of the inability
of the railroads to supply cars enough to
ship their lumber.

Mr.. Jefferson Davis intends to reside at
St. Catharines, Canada West. 1t will strike
some persons as somewhat singular that he
should make this choice. unless some spe-
cial reason determines him. If such rea-
son exists, 1t must relate to the rebellion
and his personal fortunes, and may be sum-
med up by the simple declaration that he
deems himself better off than he would be
in the United States. Such caution evinces
consciousness of danger-a knowledge of
reasons for apprehending something un-
pleasant. 1t is scarcely to be questioned
that he knows the extent of his crime, and
his movements indicate that he fears justice.

pie are irritated with the solution of the
Prussian question, and much dissatisfied
with the way in which the London confer

the government to assume a yet bolder atti-

that France shall show to Europe that her
