The IsonlanceFOf MisfOrtune--A
Melancholy Story.

"a lew Gays ago Jnefe came TO
this city, to seek transient asylum
for herself and her two little chill
dren, poor, friendless, suffering
woman, sadly wasted by the rava-
ges of relentless chronic disease,
and rendered miserably Respondent
by a series of disheartening mis-
fortunes through which she had pass
ed. About year ago she left her
home, near Lancaster, Penn, to
join her husband, Riker by name, a
private soldier, stationed on the
Plains, near Omaha She reached
him, and managed to support her
self by washing for the officers of
his regiment-for his pittance would
not suffice for both-and remained
with or near him until his term of
service expired. This anxiously
looked for event took place about
q month ago, and as soon as he re-
ceived his pay, amounting to some
5000, they and their two children
left the barracks for their home in
the East. They were the more de
sirous of quitting the rough West
ern life as the hard labor had -ag-
gravated a disease Of long standing
and no satisfactory medical advice
could be brought to bear on her
case. 2 -e-e. Fz-- a.5s fs .r..
They boarded a train on the
Union Pacific Railroad, and after
travelling in this direction a short
time, the cars stopped at station,
and Riker and a companion got off
to obtain some refreshments. Be
fore they could return the train re-
sumed it's journey, and left them be-
hind. When night came on the
wife, fearful Of the safety of her hus
band, stopped at a small town, and
next morning went back to where
he had been left. She found him
lead He had been foully murder
ed by his companion for the money
he had in his possession, and the
villain. who had committed the
deed was far away when she ar
rived. Her vision of anticipated
joy thus prematurely blasted, she
sorro wfully buried him where he
had fallen; and with heavy, heavy
heart, once more turned her steps
homewari. Long before she reach
ed this city heI little earnings were
exhausted and she was dependent
on the benevolence of fe1low-travel-
ers for her transportation. When
she arrived here hardly able to stand
SO fatigued was she, with the assist
ance Of policeman she dragged
herself to the Commercial Hospital,
where she thought to receive the
medical attention her. critical con-
dition demanded. The managers
of that institution were willing to
receive her alone, but could not, in
accordance to the established rules,
take the children. - She, forlorn,
affectionate creature, clung to her
children, and refused to separate
from them, SO she repaired to Ham
mond street station-house for sue
cor. The officers of tae station,
hearing her sad tale, and becoming
interested in her behalf, procured a
room and board for her in the Ger
mania House (after the Relief Union
and Overseers of the Poor declined
to have aught to do with her), and
generously paid. for her accommo
dation themselves. They also sue
ceeded in raising little charitable
fund for her relief and sent her to
her .home.-Cin. Commercial.

Vailandigham on New Hamp'

VaI1andigham on New Hamp-
shire.
The result Of the election in New
Hampshire again proves the lesson
of all history, that in unsettled and
revolutionary times, in all countries,
and perhaps at all times in a young,
growing, vigorous country like ours,
the bold party is the one which wins.
And it is our deliberate conviction
that the prompt impeachment, on
the one hand, of Andrew johnson,
and on the other, the sweet aIacrity
with which he submitted, trusting
in "God, the people and the courts"
but without excepting his powder
dry" or making any preparation
before venturing to provoke Con-
gress to battle-unless, indeed, it
was he bought that nitro -glycerine
turned the scale and gave the
Republicans the victory in New
Hampshire. Last summer and fall,
hesitancy, ''policy," and dissention,
characterized the Republican party,
| as boldness, earnestness and har-
mOny dld the democracy, ana we
were victorious everywhere. Since
October and November. the picture
has everywhere been reversed.
Unity and audacity again character
lied the Republicans, and timidity
the Democrats. The Senatorial
election in Ohio; the Senatorial
election in Kentucky : the refusal of
the Maryland Legislature to 1e-elect
Senator Thomas when denied his
seat; the triumph of the New York
politicians in the National Demo
cratic Committee; the inaction of
the Ohio Legislature, and various
other similar circumstances, indi-
cate that the Democratic party, just
now, is not the ''untetrifed Democ-
racy" of Old Hickory's time.

OUR TEACHERS.


Once on tine it came to pass,
As Butler sings in Hudibrass,
Eight teachers taught our Union Schools;
Among them all there We're no fools,
But lest on this you might insist,
1 will just now rehearse the list:
Gus Principal is Mr.. Myers
Who every one with zeal inspires;
I'm mathematics he is greater
Than Tyche Brake or Ezra Pater,
For he can tell the hour of day
The clock does strike, 10y Algebra
He breaches law and gospel, too,
But thinks the commandments are too few,
Sc to the ten sent down from Heaven,
He adds another which makes eleven.*
Now Mary, the assistant, who dresses in green
Laughs at our foIlies, and rules like a queen.
Next is Miss Lilly, as every one knows,
Her scholars all love her wherever she goes;
She's with Us row, has been here before;
Her heart is not with us, twas given to Moore
Miss MeLain, the ripe scholar, is just in he1
prime;
Whether singing or teaching, always brings
them to time.
With energy does Hessler rule,
In number one, the STRIPPING school;
But from her military mind
We fear to Union she's inclined
Miss Beistle, plump, and pretty, too,
Like the old woman who lived in a shoe,
Has so many children she don't know what tc
do.
Our newest teacher is Miss Mary Rummell,
If the boys don't behave she will spommel"
Last, but not least, is Miss Seewald, the lin.
guist,
Who teaches pure German and also good En- g.
lish. ..f
s'Thou shalt mind thine own business"
OUT IN THE COLD.
Out in the coldl The little bare feet,
Weary of wandering through the long street,
Tired of supporting the thin little frame,
Holding on man such pitiful claim,
Stopped for moment, one moment to rest,
Ere they took up again their trembling quest
Seeking and seeking throughout the long day
For some pitying heart and kind voice to say
"Little one pause in thy wandering lone,
Rest thee tonight by our quiet hearth -stone.'
Walking all day, not morsel to eat,
And weary, SO weary the little bare feet.
But see the light streaming from over the way,
Within the long windows it's bright as the day,
Flowers blooming like summer, with wonder
they see,
And high above all the tall Christmas tree
Oserloaded with gifts, and the little ones
there .y
Seem like angels of light to those children OF
care.
Fora little they watch them, then turning
away +41
With faces SO hopeless, hear one of them saw.
Let us go to the corner and sit where tho

FROM WASHINGTON.
Circular From GEN. Howard


WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-General Howard
yesterday addressed circular to the agents
of the Aid Society, the officers and agents
of the Freedmen's Bureau, and the pastors
of the colored peoples churches in the Dis
trict of Columbia, saying:
1t is reported to me that numbers of peo-
pie, living in and around the District of
Columbia, are at present coming to this
city and Georgetown, and that others who
have been procured homes North and West
are to some extent spending what they
have earned on their return to Washington.
The destitution in this city is already con-
siderable, and increasing, as you are well
aware, on account of the large number OF
employees that have been discharged from
different branches OF the Government, to-
gether with the suspension of various in
dustrial operations by reason of the severity
of the weather, and from other causes.
Please use all the influence you can exert
TO check this immi grafton, and urge upon
every able-bodied man and woman out of
employment the necessity of seeking homes
in other places; advise them who are in
need to apply to employment agents in
different parts of the city for assistance to
procure places. Ee 81

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Worlds WASH
ington special says 1t is officially informed
that the President will issue no orders to
Stanton, and that the latter can issue no
orders by the Presidents authority. 1t is
alleged that at Cabinet meeting on FRI
day, the members compared notes as to
what took place at their meeting on Tues
day when Grant was present, and they
agree that Grant admitted the correctness
of the Presidents statement of the agree
ment between himself and Mr.. johnson,
namely: That Grant was to hold on
to the Office or give the President
timely notice to enable him to ap-
point another Secretary. The Pres
ident expressed himself on Friday in the
most positive manner respecting the revo-
lutionary measures now being put through
Congress. If Congress so enacts as to de-
prive him of any portion of his constitu-
tional authority, the Executive, who was
as directly elected by, and as directly rep
resents the people as Congress does, may
be expected to resist such an encroach-
ment with all the power at his command.
His right and duty as Commander-inC Chief
of the army, of which it is proposed to de-
prive him in the pending reconstruc ion
bill, are among the chief prerogatives
which Mr.. johnson will consistently de-
