The following incident shows that
Dutchmen can be as romantic in theiI
attachment as any other less phleg-
matte people, and a great deal more
faithful. Cornelius Vega, the cele-
brated Dutch painter, is my hero
His mistress being seized with the
plague at the time it ragged in Haar-
lem in 1854, was conveyed, in spite
of her lovers desperate opposition,
to the common pest-house, whittier
none but the guardians were suffered
on pain of death to penetrate. Vega
got information as to the position OF
the bed on which his mistress lay,
wrestling with death, and, coming to
an open window near it, thrust in his
mahlstick, having previously depos-
tied fervent kiss on its extremity,
and contrived to reach and touch
with it the lips of the agonized lady.
His kiss was returned, and, having
pressed once more the instrument
now impregnated with the plague
poison to his own lips, the evening
of that day found him a corpse. The
subject may be commended to the at
tention of any painter who is bold
enough to wade through horror to
pathOs.

Concerning Gideon's Band

Mark TWAIN writes to the Wash
ington Chronicle, as follows:
Mr.. EDITORS l see it stated thai
that staunch old salt, Mr.. GideOr
Wellcs, is going to rally to the pro
lection of the President with 400 ma
rines. Do you know if that party i:
entirely made up? Iwould like very
much to belong to Gideon's Band
Here's my heart and here's my hand
l am competent. l have been to SCI
a good deal, and have seen more ser
vice as boarder On shore; besides,
have some entertaining stories to re-
late, which have never got anybody
to believe yet, and l wish to tel
them to these marines.
We can gain the victory in this en-
terprise. In the old times there
were only three hundred noble Dem
ocrats in Gideon's Band, and they
triumphed. Every Democrat took s
horn. Every Democrat carried hi'
own jug. Just arm us four hundred
modern Democrats as We have beer
armed for thousand years; give III
Jug apiece and sound the UocsIH U
war. Avast Ahoy! Way for Gid
cons Band, MARK TWAIN.

The Ohio CultivatOr says the fol

The Ohio Cultivator says the fol-
lowing receipt is worth one thousand
dollars to every housekeeper:
Take one pound of sal soda and
half a pound of unslacked lime, put
them in a gallon Of water, and boil
twenty minutes; let it stand till cool,
then drain off and put in a small jar
or jug; soak your dirty clothes over
night or until they are wet through,
then wiring them out and rub on plen-
ty of soap, and in one boiler of the
clothes we'll covered with water, add
one teacupful of the washing fluid /;
boil half an hour briskly, then wash
them thoroughly with one suds; rinse
and your clothes will look better than
by the old way of washing twice be-
fore boiling. This is an invaluable
receipt, and every poor tired woman
should try it.

In many portions of France it is
said to be the practice Of land-hold,
ers to made a condition in their leas
es to tenants, that they shall provide
a pigeon house, or dove cot, and keep
it well stocked with these birds, The
reason for the condition is, that these
birds do great amount of good in

We take the following from cores
pondence of the Cincinnati Gazette
of the 18th inst:
The most Infamous days work the
Legislature has done since its notori
GUS action on the fourteenth amend
ment to the Constitution, was Fer
formed yesterday by the SeD'ate in
the Jones' -Onderdonk contested elec-
ton case. 1t is needless to give the
details of this contest, az they have
been published in the leading daily
papers. The whole of it can be sum
imed up in few words. Mr.. Homer
lC. Jones was fairly elected, and re-
ceived his certificate Of election as
State Senator from the Eighth Sena
Itorial District, but among those who
voted for him were forty persons who
had what the majority report of the
committee is pleased to call ga visi
BILE admixture of African blood" II
is admitted that, according to the
construction put upon the clause Of
the Constitution relating to suffrage
by the Supreme Court of Ohio, these
. forty persons were legal voters
But" say the committee, "the ques
ton is one of Importance, and one
which the Senate should decide with
out regard to the decisions of any
other department of the Government
on the same subject" And, there
fore, they rejected Mr.. Jones, and
gave his seat in the Senate to Henry
NJ. Onderdonk. Forty worthy ant
intelligent citizens of the Eighth Sen
atorial District were thus practically

graded to the level of Kukluk Klan
body whose highest ambition ant
sole object seems to be to grind int
the earth small and helpless class o
0 human beings who are so unfortunate
as to have a "visible admixture of AT
rican blood" in their veins. Let tn
nation know it, however, that thi
dirty act of the majority in the Sen
ate was not perpetrated without pro
s test from the Republican side
