Tho Legend Of the Willow.

One day Q golden. haired child, who
lived where no trees or flowers grew,
was gazing wistfully through the open
gate Of q beautiful park, when the gar.
dener chanced to throw out on armful OF
cuttings. Among them the little girl
discovered one with tiny bud just start.
ing.
"Pcrhaps il will grow" she whispered
TO herself, and dreaming Of wide, cool
boughs, and autteriDg leaves, she carried
it carefully home, and planted it in the
darksomo area. Day after day she
watched and tended il, and when, by and
by, another bud started, she kuew that
the slip had taken root.
Years passed, and the lowly home gave
place to pleasant mansion, and the mar.
row area wideued into spacious garden,
where many green tree threw its shadow
But for the golden.haired child, now
grown into lovely maiden, the fairest
and dearest Of them oil was tho one she
80 tcnderly nourished. No ether tree,
she thought, cast such cool. soft shade /;
in no other boughs did the birds sing 50
swcetly.
But while .he;tree lived and aourished,
the young girl drooped and faded
Sweetcr and sadder grew the light in her
eyes, till by and by Gods angel touched
them with q dreamless sleep. Loving
hands crowned the white brow with
myrtle, and under the branches she loved,
laid her tcnderly to rest.
But from that hour, as If in sorrow
for the one that had tended it, the stately
treo began to droop. Lower and lower
bent the sad branches, lower and lower,
until they caressed the daisisd mound
that covered her form.
"Sec !" said her young companions,
"thc tree weeps for her who loved it,"
And they call it the Weeping Willow

One day, little bluo.eyel friend Of

seeming to have no thoughts beyond her
pleasure, when o gentleman and lady in
the room began to talk about tho Bible.
Tho gentleman thought that o great
many things in that wise book were not

bunch Of grapes which required the
strength Of two men to bring out Of the
"land flowing with milk and honey" was
really an entire vine. They lady agreed
with him. My little four year old friend
dropped her toys, and going to the lady,
put her hand upon her arm, and looking
At her with plying eyes said:
"Aunty."
"What, dear," the lady answered.
"Do you know who made you'll"
"Yes."
"Who?"
"God."
Then, summouing all her strength, in
solemn tones, tho baby asked, "Do you

CENTRAL UNDERGROUND RAIL ROAD.

As large portion OF the residents o. Wcstchester
county, and also numerous citizens living IN the
lower section OF Connecticut, who daily transact
business in the city, must feel deep interest in the
early construction OF tho Central Underground Rail
road, 1t may be stated that during the past six
months important steps have been taken towards
It's immediate commencement. Within that time
the several engineers employed by the company
have been actively engaged in conduc ting their

HoMoIDE.--It is not very pleasant to con-
template the policemen in the streets as
hunters and the citizens as their game, that
they are always ready to bring down with
pistol shot in the excitement of the chase
but we do not see that the last shooting police
man and his victim can be regarded in any
other light Burke, the policeman, had taken
charge of John Dougherty for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct. Dougherty, however,
was not so drunk but he could run away.
Burke ran after him and opened fusillade to
enliven the chase, finally bringing his man
down by mortal wound. Now, should the
man die the policeman will stand in very un-
comfortable relation to the courts of justice.
He had no justification whatever for the use
of firearms. His life was not threatened and
his fugitive prisoner was not guilty of any
heinous offence. Ii q noisy drunkard is
willing to run away and give over his disturb
ance of the public peace what better can the
public interests require?

MONEY FOR PARDON. of Andy
Johnsons pardons has come into court, and
once more the public attention is called to the
corruption that sometimes organizes itself
about government despite the pure inten-
tons of its head, and makes merchandise of
the most sacred prerogatives. Ten thousand
dollars was fixed as the price a man was to
pay for pardon. He got his pardon, but did
not pay the money, and the man has had
the impudence to sue for it. Courts are not
yet so shameless as to admit such cases to fair
ground, and the money was not recovered.

By the conversation of Ben Butler with one
Of our reporters the other day we see that the
fight for the championship of the House is
likely to prove the liveliest intellectual mill of
the Congressional season. Butler is the true
leader of his party in the House, so far as intel
lectual force, political perception, training,
sagacity, wit and boldness go-and there is
prejudice that such things 60 all the way in
making leader. Thad Stevens was the leader
till he died. and Thad' 8 mantle wouldn't begin to
cover Ben Butler. But at the same time the
tradition is that the chairman of the Committee
of Ways and Means is the recognized leader, and
that chairman is Schenck. Now Schenck is the
antipode of Butler. He is as dull and heavy
in thought as Butler is clear and subtle. He
is as slow and phlegmatic as his rival is mer-
curial and electric. Schenck is even below
the average of intelligent humanity in the pos
session of ideas, and it is the most farcical
notion in the world that such man should
lead such House. Butler sees this ridicu-
lous side of the point with an impotence that
gives him great relish for the forthcoming
chance to give the chairman and his whole
committee a roasting.

YACHTING.
Race Between the Comet and thc Ju'ia
for 06OO-Tho Former Cspsizes and the
Int raA

Race Between the Comet and che Julia
for 060O-Tho Former Cspsizes and the
Latter Declared the Winner.
The race between the Comet and the Julia which
took place yesterday at Greenville, was robbed u
the interest which doubtless would have been
attached TO 1t, the Comet having capslzed about
twenty minutes after the start. The reputa-
ton OF these little yachts and the fact that their
respective merits were known to be almost equal
caused the event to be looked forward to with plea
sure. and quite number OF spectators assembled
at Greenville to witness it. Betting, by the way
was very lively, and at noon comparatively large
sums were staked upon the result Both contest
ants have already figured prominently IN racing
circles, and well contested race was Justly
anticipated, a. the clements were favor
able In every respect. The course was from
a stakebeat or the Idle Hour to q stakeboat STA
toned about 100 yards or Gibbett Island, to be
rounded three times the whole making distance
OF about twenty miles and the consideration $500.
The fine breeze from the southwest increased some-
what as the boats prepared TO start. Al haf-pass

tain which, II either, yacht gained anything.
but 1t was evidently close and exciting
affair. In jbing. however the Comet went over.
and the excitement which had hitherto character
lied the race ceased being substituted by feelings
OF disappointment. Happily no lives were lost FOR
several boats Immediately put off to the rescue, and
the Comet having been put to rights sailed TO her
quarters. The Julia continued on her course.
and having completed the race was declared the
winner.

GrscIey,S AcccDtauce.

The republican New York State ticket, as at
last made up, is headed by General Franz
Sgel for Secretary of State, and next in order
by Horace Greeley for Comptroller. With the
self-sacrificing spirit of Curtius leaping into
the gulf Greeley accepts. He is not hopeful
of the election, but he will do what he can for
the cause. The State Committee brought him
forward to strengthen the ticket; but his letter
is rather calculated to depress than to encour-
age them. He does not move, like Grant,
upon the enemy's works, but hesitates and
pleads his necessity for more troops, like
Mcclellan. But for all this if he will only
pluck up a little courage we think his name
will be an advantage to the republican ticket.
Unquestionably the name of Sigel will
strengthen it among the Germans, and if
neither Pennsylvania nor Ohio goes for the
democracy to-day by default the disheartened
New York republicans may save their distance
in November. Apparently the late squabblng
Fenton and Morgan clques, and the Twenty
second street regulars and Twenty third street
outsiders of this city, have become reconcied
on the basis of an experimental armstice but
they do not yet pull together very harmo-
nously. In short, unless Pennsylvania and
Ohio are held unbroken by the republicans
to-day the party will hardly hold their own in
New York, Notwithstanding the generous ad-
vance to the front of Sigel and Greeley

Father Hyaclnsho 10 the Dishop Of Or


Father Hyacinthe has been invited TO re-
turn to the pastoral fold of Rome and again
refuses to submit to the discipline of the Pope.
From correspondence which we publish to-
day it viii be seen that Monsignor Dupan-
loqp, Bishop of Orleans, one of the most elo-
quent and able divines of the Gallican Church,
addressed letter, couched in words of affec-
tionate admonition and mild reproof, to the
ex-chaplain of N6tre Dame advising him to
hasten to the Holy City and PROSTATE himself
at the feet of the Pontin, beseeching forgive
ness which he would be certain to obtain if 80
sought The Pere replies to the Bishop
In words Of respect and good feeling
declining to pursue the course which he
advises, and reaffirming his position in the
remarkable words:-''What you qualify as
great fault committed call great duty
accomplished. By this simple yet telling
expression Father Hyacinthe obliterates in
moment the remembrances of the violences of
the era of Luther, Huss and Calvin, and leads
onward as the priestly pioneer of universal
federation in matters of conscience under the
canons of really free church. The present
report leads Us to believe the news, which is
not, indeed, contradicted, that Father Hya-
cinthe has embarked for the United States; for
it is to be easily seen that this country, under
our republican institutions, presents the very
field for his present elevated mission.
Presuming that he will arrive safe among
US, we beg to advise the Pere on few matters
of mundane import as follows Let him
firmly avoid any acceptance of ''the hospital
ties of the city" at the hands of the Common
Council of New York; let him politely decline
''the use of the Governors Room in the City
Hall for the reception of his friends and,
above all, let him steadfastly refuse to say
what ''ticket he will support" at the November
election. BY due attention to these matters
Pere Hyacinthe will inaugurate brilliant
ecclesiastical career in America and cause Pho
Nino to regret that he himself had not come
over-without Antonelli-long since, in accord
ance with our repeated invitation, and thus
have anticipated him.

THE CHEROKEE COUNrRY-SQUATTERs
SQUABBLEs.- Hazen's account of the

them as a little worse than the Indians in their
hostile demonstrations toward railroad survey

have the progress Of great undertakings re-

it will be easier to clean them out than to do
the same for an equal number of Indians.
