johnson was present, and the head and fore
front of the whole movement. His praises
were on the lips of all, and it was perfectly
evident that the demonstration was one in
honor of the second A. J. rather than the
first. The copperhead wing was best repre-
sented by Judge Black, Tom Florence and
Representatives Marshall and Boyce, the con-
Mr.. Doolittle, and the anything at any time
men by Reverdy johnson. Mr.. Boyce re
piled to the toast in honor Of the President,
and such reply If after that the Demo
cratic party fails to nominate the present
incumbent for their next President, they will
be sighting the most noble man of the age.
Allow me to quote a little:
8 In the words which | have quoted from
the public speeches of Andrew johnson, the
senator and the candidate, we find the key
to the policy of Andrew johnson, the Presi-
dent
In conclusion, | may say of him in whose
honor this toast has been proposed, that no
prouder title to honorable and imperishable
fame could be awarded to any successor of
Washington than to have it written, as it
surely will be written of him, in the calm
light of future history, that in perilous times
he was the able, faithful and fearless defender
of the constitution of his country
1t is wonderful that such unrestrained
laudation did not annoy such extremely
modest man as Mr.. johnson. But we have
no intimation but that he received the dose
quietly as his whiskey, and swallowed it
easily.
Mr.. Stanbery rushed headlong into the arms
Of the dear Democracy, declaring for them
that the whole series of reconstruction laws
was unconstitutional and void, and Mr. Doo-
little rejoiced to be once more with his old
friends, and swore by all that good and
true to overthrow the radical party of the
North. Added to the fiery eloquence of these
patriots were the sentiments found in the let
ters of such faithful supporters of the consti
tuition az Ex-Presidents Pierce and Buchanan,
all the Democratic Governors and would be
Governors, and host of minor lights. The
whole affair was certainly a success, and did
no harm except to tickle Mr.. Johnson's van

How FRENCH OFFICER MARR1Es.

How \ FRENCH OFFICER MARRIEs-
An officer in the French army finds 1t no
very simple matter to get married. He
has first to make formal request of his
colonel for permission. He certiies TO the
condition in life and moral standing of the
bride elect. The colonel sends the demand
to the general commanding the department,
who sends it to the general commanding
the division. If the bride lives In another
district, he writes TO his fellow-officer of
the division in which she does live. The
demand then descends the scale from the
division-general to the brigadier, who writes
to a commandant de place, who consults
commissioner of police and a mayor; then
the mayor and commissioner reply to the
commandant de place, who replies to the
brigadier-general, who replies to the gen.
eral of the division, who sends the answer
TO his cogrere The demand then goes to
a marshal, and if he does not exact any
further information, he proposes to the
minister of war to ratify the permission
coming from the hands of the postman, the
packet Is unsealed by clerk, who adds
stamp. subordinate reads 1t, sends 1t to
another clerk, who puts a number above
the stamp and records the number on an
other sheet of paper, with an analysis of
the affair; this sheet is then signed by
chief and sub-chief, then goes TO director,
who sends it 10 the chief de bureau: he
gives it to his deputy, then an orderly clerk
the number of the packet, regis
tiers it. and sends it TO another, who makes
q report of the analysis. The three men,
bers of this last bureau then record the
whole, the chief signs it, submits it to the
director, who submits it to the minister,
who accepts or refuses. If the bride and
groom and are still living when the ar
rangements are concluded, and think it
worth while to get married for what little
time they have to live, the marriage is

EMANCIPATION DAY AMONG THE CoLOREI
MEN IN MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA.

=. EMANCIPATION DAY " AMONG THE CoLoRED
MEN IN MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA.
Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 9, 1865.
DEAR FREEMAN The first day Of January
is fast becoming a notable national day in the
minds of the colored people of our republic.
| could but realize it when, on the first morn
ing of 1868. solid body of strong, well-built
colored men marched down the broadest street
in this green-leaved city, with our gallant
flag unfurled, and floating over them, the vic
torious emblem Of thar liberty and ours. 1t
is a glorious sight when two thousand human
hearts unite and give expression to their
feelings at such time, and on such an occa-
sion as this.
The day was not propitious one for an
outdoor gathering The rain had fallen all
the night before the clayey mud thick
and ankIe-deep in many places raw, north
east wind was blowing Justify; and a fine,
piercing rain drenched their garments. 1t
was such day as when we love to hover
closely around our cheerful home-fres, and
shut the door of our thoughts upon the whole
physical world without. But these men cared
not for the weather their whole hearts were
engaged in the one thoug ut, 81 this is the day
when five years ago we were set free, and we
will show our friends and our enemies that
we cannot forget that-to us, at least-mem-
orable event" And they did. They marched
through the most important part of the city,
then out to . Wilson's Grove situated Just
within the city limits on the southwest.
Here platform and speakers awaited them.
Gen. Coon, of Dallas county, a faithful
supporter of Republicanism and equal rights
in the late Constitutional State Convention,
addressed them, giving cheerful accounts of
the colored people in his part of the state,
explaining to them their duties men, free
men. in the coming struggle for the ratifca-
ton of the constitution, and endeavoring to
instill in their minds prudence and foresight
in every deiberation.
After his speech, the cries of the crowd
for Keff'er Keffer :, were the means of draw
iner forth short talk from that ever willing.

Queens of England.

The - Lives of the Queens of England -
written by Agnes Strck land, in several vol
umes, has for many years been familiar to
readers of history, and has had deserved
popularity. An epitome of this work for
the use of schools and families has frequently
been demanded by teachers and others in
charge of youth. These royal biographies
invariably interest intelligent children, and
for them, as well as for a class of readers
who hardly, in this hurrying age, find time
to read the more voluminous work the
e" Lives Of the Queens has been abridged
by the author, and brought within the COM
pass of single volume of 675 pages, and is
revised and edited by Caroline G.. Parker
Every thing necessary for scholastic purposes
has been retained in this volume, and care
fully arranged with regard to dates.
The whole series cf biographies comprises
the history of the royal households of Eng
land, from the time of the Norman Conquest
to the death of Queen Elizabeth and it also
gives brief history of Great Britain from
the accession of James /, to the present time
We give below the interesting sketch of
the execution of the second wife of Henry
VIII,
ANNE BoLEYN
1t does not appear that Anne condescended
to implore the mercy of the king. She knew
his pitiless nature too well even to make the
attempt to touch his feelings after the horr-
BILE imputations with which he had branded
her, and this lofty spirit looks like the pride
e u
wounded mind. While Kingston was writ
ing his last report to Cromwell of her prepa-
rations for the awful change that awaited
her, she sent for him. and said, :. Mr.. King
ston, hear | shall not die afore noon, and
am very sorry therefore, for thought to be
dead by this time, and past my pain .''''
told her." says Kingston, 81 that the pain
should be little, it was so subtitle And
then she said, g have heard say the execu-
toner is very good, and havea little neck, -
and put her hands about it, laughing heartily.
'f have seen men and also women executed
and they have been in great sorrow.'' con-
tinues the lieutenant of the Tower :. but, to
my knowledge, this lady hath much iov and
pleasure in death. Sir, her almoner is con-
tinually with her, and hath been since two
O'Clock after midnight just before she
went to the execution, she sent this message
to the king '' Commend Inc TO his majesty,
and tell him he hath been ever constant In
his career of advancing me. From a private
-entlewoman he made me marchioness
from a marchioness a queen : and now he
hath lie - higher degree of honor, he gives
my inn ,cency the crown of martyrdom"
The scaffold prepared for the decapitatiou
of the unfortunate queen was erected on the
green before the Church of st. Peterad Vim.

BY his son, Henry aad NJ r Parrish, was
entirely consumed BY fire. A terrible snow
storm was prevailing at the time the FIRE

In our opinion, it was clearly the work of

rushed forth to save what we could Of our
scanty effects, a rear room to the west OF the
main building, and in which no fire was
used, was half burned down. The loss to
the occupants was quite heavy, and at this
particular time is rather hard to bear We
cannot refrain from returning our heartfelt
thanks to Martin Pirtle, Esq, and his lady,
