LIZA most estimable lady. WHO 70.

sP A most estimable lady, who for
many years has ornamented society by
her grace and accomplishments in New
Orleans, has been deserted by her hus-
band, an ex-colonel of the Union Ar
my. The New Orleans Times says
"Quite recently he invited the lady and
her children out to walk, and stoppln g
casually on corner, asked them to
wait there few minutes until he re-
joined them. Much to che surprise OF
all, an hour passed without his retur u
ing. Fearing some calamity the In dy
started home. There, to her horror,
the servants informed her the mgn had
put his trunks in an express Iwaggon
and started off. The house had been
stripped OF every article of value.
Plate, jewelry and even the casket con-
tanning her diamonds, were gone. A
note cUrtly informed the distracted
woman, her deceiver had beed called
away, and now the fact is develope
that he has wife and four children in
the North.

iD| Henry Ward Beecher wants the
graves of Confederates attended to. He
says: "Convicts and criminals of every
hue, If they die in prison, are decently
buried. We disburden the gibbet ten
derly and give sepult ure to murderers.
Can it be possible that great ard gen.
erous nation will much longer suffer
the confederate dead to lie dshevelled
and neglected IN an utter and con-.
temltuous neglect. We do not ask
that they should be put along side of
our soldiers, or that any insignia of
honor be placed above them. But we
do plead that the Government take
steps to have plain and decent grounds
and that, so far as the raw
ages of neglect will permit, all the Con-
federate dead he laid together there.---
Let there be peace at the mouth OF the
arave !"

sGe 1t is ascertained, on thoroughly
reliable authority, that the President
and Mrs. Grant have ceased all social
connection with their connection, Mr..
A. r. Corbin, of New York. 1t is also
ascertained that when the President
sold his house in Washington to Gen.
Sherman, he gave his wife $4,000 of the
proceeds, which she forthwith trans
ferred to Mr.. Corbin. then present in
Washington on his bridal trip, to be used
in a New Jersey real estate speculation.
This is the only money ever given to
him by any of the Presidents family,
and it would really seem that from this
basis Fisk and Gould got the impression
that Corbin was the broker OF the Grant
family, and that it influenced them in
their operations.

A BLOW ATTHE RECONSTRUCTION LAWS

The opinion of the Supreme Court
in the Yerger ease, is regarded by the
Radicals as fatal blow at the re con-
struction acts of Congress. Radical
senator's nowi in Washington say that it
will result in setting aside the entire
work of reconstruction in the South.
There is a good deal of speculation as
to what action the President will take.
Some say lie will instruct Gen. Ames
to disregard the writ of habeas corpus on
the ground that Mississippi is unde
military rule, and that the writ is inop-
erative there. While the decision gives
the President considerable uneasiness,
and was not unexpected to him, those
best informed say lH will bow to thr
decision ofthe court, and cause Yerger
to be delivered to the civil authorities.

ened, retired room, waiting to be laid
away IN the lone, cold grave, Eis af-
hicted mother and bereaved little sister
went in to look at the sweet face of tie
precious sleeper, for his face was beau
tiful even in death. AS they stood gaz-
ing upon the form of the one she SO low
ed and cherished, the little girl asked
to take his hand. The mother at first
did not think it best, but as the child
repeated tho request, and seemed very
anxious about IS, she tool. the cold
bloodles, hand Of her sleeping boy, ard
placed it in the hand Of his weeping sis
ter.
The dear child looked at il q moment,
caressed ii fondly, and then looked up
to her mother through her tearc of ar
lection and love and said:
"nother this little hand never struck
