CURTIS AND BUTLER.

In reading Curtis's magnificent
speech for the defense one cannot help
contrasting it with Buffers opinion
for the prosecution. The two men,
and their speeches, are types of the
two sides Of the case. Butler i impu-
dent, fierce, eXultant over an easy IAN
ticipated) victory. Curtis is polite,
calm, confident in the impregnable
strength of his position, aud in the JUS
tice of the Senate. Butler argues,
where he ha foundation for argu.
mcnt, ably and effectively; beyond
that he quibbles and asserts. Curtis
keeps to the bounds of strict dialectics !;
his reasoning is like chain, in which
there are no weak links, leading from
certain premises to certain conclusions.
Butler talks like feed lawyer, at his
favOrite pursuit Of making the worse
appear the better cause. Curtis talks
like judge who has examined the
whole question judicially, and believes
upon his soul in what he says. Butler
treats the Senate as if it were a Coop
er Institute audience, whom he
was trying to bully, cajole, and fiatter
to his way Of thinking. He appeals
to the prejudices, the partisan feelings,
the seeming interests of his hearers ;
never to their wisdom, their equity,
their magnanimity. Curtis addresses
the Senate in their high and true char
acter of court. He trusts to their in
telligence, their justice, their generos-
ity, even. He cannot bring himself to
think that a body of men, represen-
ting as they are supposed tOdo, so much
of all that is wisest and best in the
land, can fail to follow his lofty line of
argument, and to be influenced by con-
sideratiOns directed solely to their minds
and cOnsciences. He speaks to them
as if they were his peers intellectually
which is compliment to the Senate.
Butler harangues them as if they were
no better than himSelf-Which is an
insult to the Senate. Curtis reasons
at the Senate from his level; and But
Ter makes a stump speech at them from
his level; and there is just the differ
ence between the two men and their
speeches.
As the Senators decide upon the
question of impeachment, so will they
take their place in history upon the
low plain with Butler or upon the
high table land with Curtis.-N Y.

WHAT TIE RANK AND FILE or TIL
ARMY THINK.

Forney's Press has been thrown into
spasms again. 1t says the spirit of An
drew johnson is breaking out among
the rank and file of the regular army.
1t seems that the private soldiers at
Carlisle Barracks had a meeting the
other day, at which the following rcso-
lutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The present greatcrisis in
the affairs of our Government seems to
demand the attention and earnest con-
sideration of all good citizens, and for
O6UiOuS reasons, especially Of the citizen
soldiers Of the Republic, and in order by
our unanimity ever to indicate to the
world something of the sentiments OF
the rank and tile of the army, be it
RcSOlred, That the first great duty OF
an American soldier is to support the
Constitution Of the United States against
all its enemies and opposers whomsO-
ever.
ResOite6, That lCe recognize IN ttS. .fuiL-
est SignifcdtiOn the fact that the consti-
tutiOnally elected President Of the
United States is the COmmander-in-
Chief of the Army and Navy, and the
person to whom our first and para
mount allegiance is due.
The Press scents the odOr of lurking
treason in these really patriotic and sol
dier-ike resolutions. We see in them
evidence of love of country and dis
position to act as all American soldiers
should be expected to do. Is it not
true that ''the first great duty Of
an American soldier is to support
the Constitution Of the United States
against all its enemies and 0pposers
whomsOeVer?" Is it not also true
that "the constitutionally elected
President of the United States is the
Commander-in- Chief of the Army and
the Navy, and the person to whom
their first and paramount allegiance is
due?" Until Congress attempte TO
usurp all the powers OF the Executive,
no man in the country would have
doubted the patriotism of the excellent
resolutions adopted by the soldiers at
Carlisle.
But we do not wonder that the Press
is agitated over this matter. The Rad
ical leaders have been acting as if they
were counting without their host in
this matter. Should conflict occur
in this country the rank and file of the
regular army would refuse to sustain
tha Radical usurpers and traitors who
seem to be determined to support them
selves in power by the use of military
! force. The muskets of these very men
would be turned against those who
would be found marshaled under the
lead of Stevens and Sumner. This
may be an ugly fact for the Radicals to
recognize, but they have only to adj
vance little further in their revOlu-
tionary designs to test the truth of
what we say. They might find the
negro regiments ready to sustain them'
! but not those composed of white men.

SETTING \ GOOD EXAMPLE.-We
are glad to notice that the New York
Times has the decency to give place to
the following paragraph in its editorial
columns:
The single murder of Mr.. Ashburn
in Georgia has called out the prompt
and stern application Of military force.
In the vicinity of Selma, Ala, five
white men, once Of the rebel army,
have been murdered and no arrests
made. Has impartial justice anything
to do with the pacification of a distur-
bed land, or is impartial suffrage sup
posed to be all sufficient?
The Times sets a good example to its
Radical contemporaries by publishing
the above, but it is not likely that ma
ny of them will follow it. They pre-
fer to indulge in laudatiOn of the ne,
groes and wholesale denunciation Of the
white population of the South.

FEMALE GAIBLERs.-The Wash
ington Chronicle, of Sunday last, is re-
sponsible for the following announce
ment regarding one of the features Of
Washington Society:
"Itmay appear to be a slightly sensa-
tiOnal statement, but 1t is none the less
true, that there are two fashionable
gambling houses, both within half a
dozen squares of the treasury building,
which are exclusively for the use of
ladies. One and perhaps the best furn-
i-hed and most largely frequented, is
situated on Fourteenth street, while
the other is in the first ward, but few
squares distant. At these places, at
nearly all hours of the day, may be
found richly dressed ladies, connected
with families whose standing is high
in the community, earnestly engaged
in faro, and stalking their money with
an abandon that would excite surprise.
The sterner sex is rigidly excluded,
and the players feel themselves secure
from the intrusion of,watchful fathers
or angry husbands, while they, at the
same time place firm reliance on the
silence of their fair companions, who,
we will say, are quite select and respec-
table, as the judgment of the crafty
proprietresses enables them to perceive
that the indiscriminate admission Of
visitors would be Injurious TO their
| interests

THE ROMAN SENTINEL.

There was nothing in POmpeii that
invested it with deeper interest to me
than the spot where soldier of old
Rome displayed most heroic fidelity.
That fatal day on which Vesuvius, at
whose feet the city stood, burst out in
to an eruption which shook the earth,
poured torrents Of lava from its riven
sides, and discharged, amidst the noise
of hundred thunders, such clouds OF
ashes as filled the air, produced dark
ness deeper than midnight and struck
such terror into all hearts that men
thought not only that the end of the
world had come and all must die, but
the gods themselves were expiring
on that night a sentinel kept watch by
the gate which looked to the burning
mountain. Amidst unimaginablec con-
fusion, and shrieks of terror, mingled
with the roar of the volcano, and cries
of the mothers who had lost their chill
dren in the darkness, the inhabitants
fed the fatal town, while falling ashes,
loading the darkened air, and penetrat-
ing every place, rose in the streets till
they covered the house-roofS, nor left
a vestige of the city but a vast silent
mound, beneath which it lay un-
known, dead, and buried, for nearly
one thousand seven hundred years.
Amidst this terrible disorder the SEN
tinel at the gate had been forgotten
and as Rome required her sentinel,
happen what might, to hold his post
till relieved by the guard or set at lib
erty by the officers, he had to choose
between death and dishonOr. Pattern
of fidelity, he stood at his post. Slow
ly but surely the ashes rise on his man.
ly form; now they reach his breast 4;
and now covering his lips, they choke
his breathing. He also was "faithful
unto DEATH" After seventeen centu-
ries, they found his skeleton standing
erect on the marble niche, clad in its
rusty armOr-the helmet on his emp
ty skull, and his bony fingers still clos
ed upon his spear. And next almost
to the interest felt in placing myself
on the spot where Paul true to his col
ors when all men deserted him, plead
before the Roman tyrant, was the inter
terest | felt in the niche by the city
gate where they found the skeleton OF
one who, in his fidelity to the cause OF
Cesar, sets us an example of the faith
fulness to the cause of Christian exam
pie it were for the honor of their mas.
ter that all his sevants follOwed.-Dr
Guthrie.

To DESTROY THE CUT WORM.-The
Proticm Farmer says an excellent plan
to keep off the cut worm from corn,
is to drop about a tablespoonful
of coarse salt on the top of the hill
soon after planting. This is carried
down by the rains, and acts as fertil-
izer, besides killing the cut worm.
Salt is peculiarly obnoxious to this
class of insects, and perhaps all classes.
Instead of putting the salt on the hill,
some farmers spread about 5 bushels to
the acre broadcast, upon their corn
fields after plowing in and before har-
rowing. This is a very profitable APP
plication. Farmers should bear these
facts in mind when they plant corn in
the coming spring.

FOUND DEAD IN THE STREET

FOUND DEAD IN THE STREET.
The labor is over and done,
The sun has gone down in the west;
The birds are asleep, every one,
And the world has gone to its rest
Sleepers on beds of down,
Meath cover of silk and gold,
Soft, as on roses new blown
Slept the great monarch Of old
Sleepers on mothers breast,
Sleepers happy ana warm,
Cosy as birds in their nest,
With never a thought of harm
Sleepers in garrets high,
Meath coverlet ragged and old
Aud one little sleeper all under the sky,
Out in the night and cold
Alone in the wide, wide world,
ChrIstless, mOtherless he;
Begging or stealing to live, and whirled
Like waif on an angry sea.
The daisy looks up from the grass,
Fresh from the fingers of Night,
To welcome the birds as they pass,
And drink in fresh rivers oflight.
Sleepers on mothers breast,
Waken to summer and mirth;
But one little sleeper has gone to his rest,
Never to waken on earth
Dead-fCund dead in the street,
All forsaken and lorn
Damp from head to the feet,
With the dews Of the sweet May morn!
Dead-for the want ola crust
Dead-in the cold night-alr!
Dead-and under the dust,
Without even word of prayer;
In the heart of the wealthiest city
In this most Christian land,
Without even word of pity,
Or the touch of kindly hand

NEWS FROM DIR. LIVINGSTONE, THE
AFRICAN EXPI.ORER.-The United
States Consul at Zanzibar, under date
of Nov. 10, 1867, writing to the Secre-
tary of State, says:
About a month ago caravan arrived
at the port Of Bugamoya, on the coast
Of Africa, opposite this place, and one
Of the leaders thereof reported that
while on their way, they met Euro
pean traveller, who was accompanied
by twelve native attendants, and who
wrote letters to her and delivered
them to one Of the members of the
caravan, who from some cause, re-
remained behind, keeping the letter
with him. After the reports of the
different members of the caravan, her
Maiesty's Consul felt perfectly satisfied
that the traveller in question could be
none other than the great explorer,
DIR. Livingstone, the report of whose
death was communicated to the de-
partment under date of December Q,
| 1868, from this consulate. An int1uen-
tial Arab who arrived from Quillo yes
terday, informed me that while there
he cOnversed with the chief of one of
the tribes of the interior, who inform
ed him that he had met DR.. Living
stone, whom he knew about eighteen
months ago. There seems, therefore,
to be room for hope that the reports of
his death brought by the probable
deserters from his party, are false, and
it is the opinion of all Europeans here
that the Doctor is still living.

SOMETHING Fur QUE LAZY. READ
ERs.--There is a good deal Of sPectiIa'
ton and some curiosity in regard t.
the new spring bonnets, which a sight
Of them will hardly repay. There is
| absolutely very little about them that
Is new. The shapes are the same rs
last year, varied a little in the ma
king and the trimming. They are as
small as ever, and incline decidedly
to the narrow flaring or standing brim,
with a crown, but no cape. The latter
is replaced by Il lace fall, or nldlttiHe,
which is crossed in front, and forms
second strings over ties made of mar
row ribbon.
The novelty, or one of them, is the
Culotte. This is made with soft
crown and small brim which retreats
at the sides, but is verys lightly rolled.
a scarf of lace or frosted tulle finishes
it at the back and forms second strings.
The "Metternich' has raised brim
and straight crown, split and caught
back, forming kind of a reUerS.
The "Montpensier" has high crown
with the brim standing up; and the
columbia" named after some young
American ladies who have been the
the fashion in Paris this winter, has
double brim, fan shaped, which is grace
ful upon some as it is unbecoming to
others.
The ''Grand Duchesse" Is a round
hat, turned up on one side, and trim
med with wide scarf of lace, one end
of which is left hanging at the back.
The "Marie Antoinette" has high
er crown, and wider, somewhat roll
ing brim. 1t may be trimmed with
blue ribbon or roses, or with a wreath,
one end of which forms Gordon, which
descends upon the shoulders.
Very distinguished bonnets are OF
black lace, frosted and trimmed with
steel, or of black lace trimmed with
natural grasses; and very simple yet
pretty straw bonnets are trimmed with
several rows of narrow velvet dotted
with cut steel or fire gilt buttons, very
small, full velvet rosettes, and lace
n1antiYe the color of the velvet.
COlored blondes and laces are among
the novelties in trimming, and largely
used. a pretty effect is also produced
by grey tuIle, dotted with steel, over
grey Grape. The ornaments are grey
velvet leaves frosted with steel.
