Mrs. SENATOR WmsoN.-A female
Washington correspondent of tbs Phila-
delphia Press pays the following excellent
and well deserved compliment to the wife
of Senator Henry Wilson /.
"And now, readers, you are to know
about the wife of Senator who is not
in her coveted seat to-day, for the reason
that she has given to one of her hus-
bands constituents her ticket, and, there
fore like the humblest among us, has to
remain at home. Would you know this
pure type of womanhood, who says with
her own lips, ave owe more to our con-
stituents than to ourselves?" Would you
know the woman whose sincere piety goes
unchallenged amidst all this frivolity and
wickedness, and whose transformations
charity would be as refreshing and as
broadcast as the evening due, if the
source of supply was as umfailing as her
own generous heart? Scarcely public
institution of charity exists in Washing
ton without her name on the roll call
and she alone gathered the first thousand
dollars that made the Newsboys' Home
a success.
There are holy places in the mosques
of the Moslems, where only the "faith
full" can tread with unsandalled feet
and there are some human lives so puri
fed ard exalted that only the pen of the
Recording Angel is worthy to transfis
their lights and shadows, their struggles
in their upward fight. All! reader
would you know why Senator Wilson
lies so close to the heart of the cold
naughty Massachusetts, why he ha
the least of this worlds goods of an,
man in Congress why he fights s.
manfully for the poor and down-troddel
why he is one Of the most popular an,
beloved men in the land? 1t is becaus
he is strengthened and solaced, and tn
armor Of life's battle is girded on at home

the latitude and longitude of debate in
committee of the whole is unbounded
and unmeasured by any rules of the
House or any laws of propriety. Then,
when the House resolved itself into a
committee of the whole, it was customary
for the speaker to go down and take part
in the debate. Now, the speaker retires
to his private room, which is fitted up
with palatial magnificence for the recep-
ton of his friends, and is seen no more
till the rising of the committee, which,
during his absence. scarcely rises to the
dignity of political caucus, much less
to that Of town meeting or a debating
society. From all which we infer that
there is very little moral power in the
speakers hammer, and that parliament
airy order and decorum and the ameni-
ties and courtesies of debate are depend
ent upon higher principle than can be
evolved from any physical agency what
ever.-Boston Traveller.

"Tommy, my son, what are you going
to do with that club ?"
Send it to the editor Of course"
But what are you going to send it to
the editor for?
"Because he says if anybody will send
club, he will send them paper"
The mother came very near fainting,
but returned to her consciousness enough
to ask:
But, Tommy dear, what do you sup
pose he wants with the club?"
"Well, don't know" replied the
hopeful urchin, "unless it is to knock
down subscribers as don't pay for their
paper"

THE LAW OF NEwsPAPERs.-Mr.
Justice Parker, of the judicial District,
has just rendered decision fully affirm
ing the liability of newspaper subscri-
bers to pay for papers sent them, until
all arrears are paid. Mr.. Justice Muir
ray rendered a like decision when Coun-
ty Judge. The following is the case de-
cided by Judge Parker:
Norwood Browne against Mary Ma
son, Ex'x., &c.-This was an action
brought to recover, among other things,
for about thirteen years subscription to
the plaintiffs paper-the Delaware Ex-
press. The defendant set up the Statute
of Limitations, claiming that the plain
: tiff could recover only for subscription to
the paper for the lass six years previous
to the commencement of the suit. The
case was tried before Justice Parker at
the October Chcuit, witoout a jury. The
case has just been decided, Judge Parker
holding that the contract between the
publisher and subscriber was coutin-
uing contract, and the defendant was Ii
able for the whole time the paper was
sent and received thus follows the de-
cision of Judge Murray at the county

ANHcDoTE OF GEN. GRANT.-Flags
of truce were occasionally sent back and
forth between Cairo and Columbus, and
the opposing generals who were in COM
mand of those posts we're sometimes
present. On one occasion, Gen. Polk
proposed toast, which he said all could
drink. Those present filed their glasses,
and he gave To Gen. George Washing
ton" AS he paused, purposely, at the
end of the name, the company commenc-
ed to drink, when he added, " the first
rebel" Gen. Grant exclaimed, "That
was scarcely fair, General, but will be
even with you some day." The laugh
was, of course, against him, but the COM
pany parted in good humor. Some two
weeks afterward, another flag of truce
was sent down to Columbus, Gen. Grant
accompanying it. After business was
over, Gen. Grant adroitly turned the
conversation upon State rights. He al
lowed them to proceed at considerable
length without attempting to refute any
thing. At length he arose to go, and
proposed toast at parting. Glasses
were filed, and the general arose and
gave, Equal rights to ALL" He then
made pause as Gen. Polk had done,
and when all were busily drinking he
added, "white and black" adding, "a and
now, General, think / am even with
you" The reverend and gallant Gen.
Polk owned up aanked.

low me to say, however, that am not

be, and could not write a political letter.
My only desire is to serve the country in
her present trials. To do this efficiently
it is necessary to have the confidence of
the army and the people. know no
way to better secure this end than by a
faithful performance of my duties. So
long as ! hold my present position, do
not believe that have the right to crit

own, except to the authorities at Wash

your letter you say have it in my pow

last thing in the world l desire. l would
regard such consummation as being
highly unfortunate for myself, if not for
the country. Through Providence |
have attained more than ever hoped,
and with the position | now hold in the
regular army, if allowed to retain it, will
be more than satisfied. / certainly shall
never shape sentiment, or the express

candidate for Office | scarcely know
the inducement that could be held out to
me to accept office, and unhesitatingly
say that infinitely prefer my present
position, to that of any civil Office within

ing heard from by the public except
through acts IN the performance of my
legitimate duties.

The Democrats and the boiling Re-

Mr.. Soule secures the place of Mr..
Johnson for Sheriff on the Democratic
ticket; and the ballots SO printed have
been distributed through the County.
Ofcourse Mr.. Soule will not now answ-

through our columns. Mr. Johnson is
to be made Deputy Sheriff in Highgate,
in case of Mr. Soule's election. Demo
cratic rule is to be introduced gradually
into Franklin County, so that the peo-
pie may get accustomed to it by degrees.

finally became the duty of the town,
and for it, reputation also, that anotL-
er Board of Sclectmcn should be elect
ed, and at the next election Mr. At
wood was relieved from any further re-
sponsibility, and Mr.. Bradley Barlow
and others became the "fathcrs of the
town" thereafter, and during the war;
Let the people remember that Mr.
Atwood had two sons eligible to the
draft during the war, and these he
might have placed upon the altar of
his country, and have done no more
then than thousand of other fathers
have done. At least, two thousand dol
lars in taxes might have been saved to
the town of st. Adams, if such an event
could have happened. Who paid these
taxes that his sons might remain at
home? In many cases, men who had
no children to be jeopadizod by the
draft. Men with young families aud
small means, the alien and the widow.
Mr.. Atwood openly avowcd, at the
time Of the war, that neither of his sons
should " go for a soldier" if it required
half his wealth to prevent it. 1t may
be said by some of the apologists for the
family, that the sons were not liable to
do military duty ; they were careful to
be not offered for that purpose. Any
qua atty of young men to our personal
knowledge appearing to be no more ro-
bust than they, were soldiers, and many
of them have each lived to return to
their homes with truesoldier's pride of
having done their duty. Fathers, you
may be men in moderate circumstances

| than regiments of this kind of men
have done for their country your sons
have died upon the field and in the pri-

lcges of Il country preserved, which he
had little to do in preserving.

a fair bright side, the other side must be

BERLIN, August 18th, 1868.
1t is q source of regret to those who
have the future prosperity of Germany
really at heart to notice the hostile
spirit which still prevails against the
Pruesian Government in the Provinces
annexed to this Kingdom since the late
war. The Province of Nassau, for in
stance, which had hitherto remained
entirely silent, is at this moment pre-
pairing petitions to be presented to the
Government and which set forth the
grievances of the people. Prussian poll
cy goes by fits and starts; at times it
elevates itself to spirit which it would
be difficult for other statesmen to reach /;
especially in cases of emergency or dur
ing n crisis, the genius of Frederick the
Great, who was never greater that when
he had dangers for to face, but in ordi-
nary times the machinery of governing
works with pedantry and formality,
hardly equalled in the modern history.
The study of the characteristic history
of the Prussian Monarchy explains suf-
ficiently how this system of bureau
cratism was formed it is easy to under
stand that it was necessary during the
progressive development of the State,
and that it has, in its way, done good
service; but now that the outside walls
of the new Prussian State are erected,
the time for that system is gone and the
new Provinces cannot be reconciled to
us by adhering to it.
There is no more room in renewed
Germany forantiquated Prussia. Along

III mt OF our common tathcrland. The
Minister President himself has said
petty near the same thing during la
sitting of the Diet, when the Hanoveri-
an and Provincial Fund was discussed.
Our Prussian ncighbors celebrate the
birth of the Crown Prince of Greece
with due solmnity ; your readers will
remember that the Queen of Greece is n
Russian Princess, and the event is much
more interesting and noteworthy as this
is the first Prince of the Orthodox rcli-
gion born in Greece since the cmanci-
patton of that Kingdom from Turkish
rule. Russia has now an additional
claim on the friendship of Greece, and
the ties thus formed between the Coloss
of the North and the Hellenic nation
may, at some future day, tell upon the
Turkish Empire, in the eventuaity of
n renewed war between the Gar and
the rulers of the Mohamedans. Greece
although a small power will in that
case, he of untold value to Russia as an
ally on account of its geographical stu
atlon ana serve as depot both military
and naval for the Russian troops and
vessels. AS for the Prussian Govern
mcnt, the terms existing between them
and the Car are of the most friendly
character and not likely to be disturbed
by European policy; it is thought that
in case of Prussia becoming entanglcd
in any difficulty she will enjoy the sim
cerc sympathy of Russia. This is all
we need, for Russia in connection with
the rest of Germany, can fight her own
battles without assistance from abroad.
