SPECIAL Correspondents 10 the Gin. Gazette
Impeachment Gossip.
WASHINGTON. March I6

The result of the first DAYS work
in the impeachment trial is to diff.
fuse general impression that the
Presidents case is hopeless
There is, perhaps, no very nal.
pable reason for this opinion that
did not exist before; and yet it is
undeniable that men who, before
the proceedings of last Friday, were
full of doubts, are now confident of
the inevitable end. Even the Presi.,
dents friends are despondent.
They professed to regard their case
as to the violation of law in the Stan
ton matter as perfect; and as to the
offenses charged in the final articles,
they reckoned largely on the delay for
witnesses, and the chances for inter
minable legal arguments. On the
whole, they felt sure for long trial,
the dying out of the popular impulse
upon the Senate, the action of law
yers, doubts in the minds of Conserv-
ative Senators; the chances for help
ing the judgment of the hesitatinp
ones. BY. the promise of foreign mis-
sions or judgeships for life. But as
the Presidents counsel came out
from the Court, in which they had
set forth, on the faith of their pro-
fessional character, the absolute ne
cessity of forty days delay, an6 had
received only ten, men read in their
disappointed countenances the first
conviction that Mr.. Johnson's case
was really hopeless, even in the eyes
of his defenders.

Remarkable Escape,

The following beats all the stories
of remarkable escapes which we re-
member to have heard: "On the
passage of the ship Alexander from
New Orleans to New York, young
lad, about fourteen years Of age, from
naturally froicsome and mischie-
vous disposition, became so trouble
some in bis pranks that he was
threatened by the captain, if they
were continued, that he would con-
fine him in a water cask. Our young
ster took no notice, however; and al
the next otfense, was put in the cask,
which was headed up, leaving a large
bung hole for the admission Of air.
That night the ship encountered q
violent storm, and, in sudden lurch,
the cask containing the boy rolled
over into the sea. Fortunately, the
cask struck bung up, and flOated
about thirty hours, when it was
thrown upon the beach, at St. Bias.
Here the boy made desperate efforts
10 extricate himself from his prison,
without success, and, in despair,
gave up to die. Some cows, how
ever, strolling on the beach, were
attracted to the cask, and in walking
around it, one of them-it being fly
switched her tail in the bung
hole, which the lad grasped with a
desperate resolution. The COW bel
| lowed. and set off for life, and after
running some two hundred yards
with the cask, struck it against q log
on the beach, and knocked it &c
smash. The boy was discovered by
some fishermen on the Point, and
taken to Apalachicola, where a small
collection being made for him, he
was enabled to proceed north by way
of Columbus

who, with number of her followers
had fixed her residence at the head

that on certain day she would walk

on the shore of the lake, and she
thus addressed them:
"My dear friends, 1t will be of no
use for me to attempt TO perform this
miracle, unless you have faith. Say.
do you verify believe that l can per-
form it?''
Certainly, certainly" answered a
hundred voices.

imposter, ''if you believe it, that is
enough-there is 10 need of my do
ing it, and we will go quietly to cur

Prize Fighting A Penitentiary
0ffense.

The Ohio Senate by a vote of
twentysiX to one has passed the
House bill for the prevention of
prize fighting within the limits OF
Ohio. The bill provides that all
persons engaged as principles in any
prize fight shall be liable on convic-
tiOn to Imprisonment in the Peniten-
tiary for Il period of not less than one
nor more than ten years, and. that
ers;i wv, .ssaa44l1rIss yIIfr Sac of
from fifty to five hundred dollars and
TO mprisonment from ten days to
three months.
This is wholesome and well timed
legislation, and we trust will be eff
cacious in preventing the repetition
on our soil of those beastly and bru
tai exhibitions which have dlsgraced
the civilization of the age. Some of
the Senators were particularly severe
on the Cincinnati press for publish
ing and circulating among the youth
of the land the corrupting details of
these prize fights. This prize e-ring
literature has never found place in
this journal. If we can not pub
lish an acceptable newspaper with
out filling it with accounts of all the
rape cases and prize fights in the
country, we shall retire from the
business.-O. S. Journal

EE The Democrats of New Hamp-
shire do not contemplate their defeat
with the same cheerful, no-sort Of
consequence spirit displayed by their
brethren in the West The Concord
Patriot, the most influential Demo
cratic paper in the State, declares
that the result has disappointed
every body. "The Democrats" he
adds, confidently expected to re-
duce the Radical majority to a small
figure, and hoped to win. To say
that we are disappointed, that our
friends are disappointed, does not
begin to express our feelings" The

"SHE ALWAYS MADE HOME HAPPY. -
A plain marble in New England
churchyard bears this brief inscrip-
ton: 'She always made home hap
py" This epitaph was penned by a
bereaved husband, after sixty years
of welded life.
He might have said of his depart
ed wife, she was beautiful and ac-
complished and an ornament to soci-
ETY., and yet not have said she made
home happy. He might have added,
she was Christian, and not have
been able to say: "She always made
home happy
What rare combination of virtues
and graces this wife and mother must
have possessed. How wisely she
must have ordered her house! In
what patience she must have possess
ed her soul!
|. How selfdenying she must have
been!
How tender and loving! How
thoughtful for the comfort of all
about her!
Her husband did not seek happi-
ness in public places, because he
found purer and sweeter enjeym ent
at home, Her children, when away,
did not dread to return, for there
was no place for them so dear as
home There was their mother,
thinking of them, and praying for
them, and longing for their coming
When tempted, they thought of
her.
When in trouble they remembered
her kind voice and her ready sympa-
thy. r
When sick, they must go home:
they could not die away from their
dear mother.
This wife and mother was not ex
empt from the cares common to her
place.
She toiled; she suffered disap-
pointment and bereavem ents: she was
submissive and cheerful. The Lords
will concerning her was her will; and
so she passed away, leaving this
sweet remembrance behind her: " She
al'cays made home happy"

late In October, as farmer Blifkin:
was propping up the grapevine il
his front yard, that threatened tc
break down with the weight of its
luxurious burdens, a neat looking
cart drove up. from which Luke Jor-
don alighted with quick, elastic
spring, quite in contrast to his for.

"Whose make are they?" inquired
the old man, as, opening the gate,
he paused by the wagon.
"Mine,'' replied Luke, with an air
of pardonable pride; sand 1 chal-
lenge any cooper in the State to beat

Mr.. Blifkins examined them crit

he set down the last of the lot
"What will We take for them?"
"What asked you for six months
ago to- day-your daughter, sir"

"Molly?" bawled Mr.. Blifkins,
thrustiDg his head in the kitchen
door.
Molly tripped out into the entry.
The round. white arms were barred
above the elbows, and bore traces of
the flour she had been sitting. Her
dress was neat gingham, over which
was tied blue checked apron; but
she looked as winning and loving as
she always did, wherever she was
found. She blushed and smiled as
she saw Luke, and then turning upon
her father, waited dutifully, to hear
what he had to say.
The old man regarded his daugh-
ter for a moment with quizzical
look.
"Molly, this young.man-mayhap
you've seen him before has brought
me lot of tabs and barrels, all of
his own make--a right good article
too. He asks pretty steep price
for 'em; but if you are willing to
give it, well and good; and hark ye,
whatever bargain you make your old
father will ratify."
AS Mr. Blifkins said this, he con-
siderately stepped out of the room,
