A New Story about SeWar. d


Mr.. Seward is still pursued at Au
burn by the newspaper men, and
recently gave one OF them an odd
little bit of autobiography, which
we believe Is new to print. The
gist of the story is that while MIR.
Seward was in his sophomore year
in college he ran away, and opened
an academy in Georgia town, where
he became very popular and success
full. After time his father found
him out and summoned him back /;
and the young school teacher as.
suaged the grief OF his patrons by
promising to send smart young
man to keep up the academy in his
place. This he did, selecting a Mr..
w., brillint scholar and finished
gentleman, Of the senior class.
Many years after, when a United
States Senator, MIR. Seward, passing
through the South, stopped to look
at the scene of his early adventure,
and to find out his old friend and
fellow student. He found Mr.. w. a
fat, dirty, greasy man, stupid beyond
conception; having married plan
tation," and enjoyed life till he had
become little more than an animal
AS to the academy, the building was
deserted, and so covered by the
luxuriant growth of a vine that il |
vas absolutely inaccessible.
1t becomes an interesting question
Tor those who speculate on possibili-
lies, whs t would have been the fate
Of Mr.. Seward, and what the effect |
lpon the nation, if he had continued |
% teach the academy, under the de-
influences to which his
zindness exposed his friend.

MRs. DIR. MARY WALKER has
been persistently 5eseeching the
powers that be at Washington tor
an appointment, and we notice that
some of the newspapers are using
her ill-timed persistency as an argu-
ment against female suffrage. While
we are ready to admit that Doctress
Walker would be in much better
business tending q baby or washing
dishes, yet we confess an inability to
see the consistency of denouncing
one woman for seeking office, while
the thousands of the opposite sex
who have thronged the capital for
the same purpose are to go scot free
s'W hats sauce for the goose &c.'

LORD CLARENDON, in the English
House of Lords, on the 4th instant,
briefly reviewed the Alabama claims
question. He said that England had
done all that she could do consistent
with honor, yet that government was
willing to reopen negotiations upon
the subject. The London Telegraph,
q Ministerial organ, says that ''the
speech of the Foreign Secretary
looks like an unmistakable express
sion of English opinion, made with
dignifed firmness, and an Indication
of national resolve. From what
transpired in the House of Lords,
lest night, Mr.. Motley can ascertain
what hopes there are to reopen ne
gotlations, and he will see that, in
the opinion of Englishmen, that
country has gone far enough. What
he may solicit he can find in the ar
ticles of a renewed Convention, and
what it is hopeless even to suggest
he can discover in Senator Summers
speech. He will learn from the ear
nest language and manly bearing of
Lord Clarendon, that the Foreign
Office never will put troublesome
pressure upon the New American
Minister, to his completion of this
difficult task, and moreover, England
is ready to cancel every trace of
angry feeling that may for time
disturb the affectionate relations OF
. kindred people"

LEBANON, June LIST, 1869.
EDITORS JETF.:-The General Con-
ference draws near the close OF its
session. The last few days have
been fraught with deep interest,"
The discussion on the secrecy ques-
ton lasted two days. Most of the
members expressed themselves on
the subject in fifteen minute speeches.
The debate was conducted mainly
with courtesy and good humor.
The Majority Report, which was
adopted, proposed some modifcati u
of the workings of the rule, without
removing the feature of making
secrecy test of membership.
The Minority Report proposed
strong testimony against secret SO
cieties in general, but left it advise
ry. After all, the rule, as finally
adopted, is in such form that its
prohibitory effect will be practically
annulled, when the sentiment of q
particular class is not in harmony
with its provisions, for each csse is
referred to its own class.
All the utterances of members
were in opposition to secrecy, as be-
ing the best mode of attaining a good
object and, while some were TEN.
perate and intelligent, others were
extreme, not to say absurd. Upon
the ~hole, the friends of secresy will
not be dismayed, nor the U. B.
Church greatly strengthened by the
legislation.
The subject of ch Dir and instru-
mental music in church, received its
share of attention. The former pow.
srless rule, which only kindly for
oid'their use, without penalty in case
Of violation, was modified to a mere
" advisory form, to the alarm and
chagrin of some of the good old fa-
thers, who cannot endure the sound
Of an organ in the praise of God. To
have but one hymn-book in the con-
gregation, the preacher to "line the
hymns, and then all sing, whether in
unison Or "see-saw," is the perfection
OF musical devotion with some who
are still living about "forty years
ago."
Lay Delegation was also pretty
thoroughly canvassed in a session
last night, and Conference, by vote,
decided not to take action in regard
to it at present.
Upon tine whole. much of the time
Of the Conference has been consumed
in attempting legislation upon mat.
ters that must finally be left to the
private judgment and conscience.
The session will probably close to
day. Delegates are anxious to get
home, and but little of Importance
remains to be done. A. r.

Cincinnati Gazette, dated June 9th,
has the following with regard to the
Jail delivery in that city:
Early this morning the turnkey OF
jail, George Earhart, opened the doors
OF two cells, in which were confined
two men, who on account of previous
good conduct were allowed certain
privileges, and have for some time past
been in the habit of unlocking the other
cells to allow their occupants to go to
the wash room. AS soon as these two
cells were open these two men darted
at Mr.. Earhart and struck him several
blows. They then gagged him, strap
ped his legs togather aud locked him,
in one of the vacated cells. They then
unlocked the other cells and invited
the men to come out. Eleven men
answered to this call. The entire par
ty then walked through the Sherifss
office and into the street, and so made
their escape. Parties were immedi-
ately sent in pursuit, but up to this
time have not captured any OF them.
One of the pursuing parties came upon
five of the fugitives near the County
Infrmary, who in answer to demand
to surrender drew revolvers and warn
ed the party of. A portion of the
rufians are said to be near Shadeyille
this evening.

a HOMELESS DoG.-A more mis-
cradle object than dog without
home, we cannot imagine. The
homeless dog-not the dog lost-but
the dog always homeless, is of un-
certain origin, a SORT of combination
of all breeds. He is always lean,
lame blind ugly and hungry. His
life is made up of hits and kicks.
He is kicked by the man he follows
in hopes of at last obtaining "A home,
and is battered ever the head by the
butcher from whom he attempts to
steal his dinner. 1t is said every
dog has his day, but the day of the
homeless one must Iavc been an
unusually bad one,or else it has yet
to come. We often meet him Gov
cred with scars instead of hair, sneak.
ing, whinng,and perfectly conscious
of his own wOrthcssness. He is a
robber bv profession, and steals to
live. lie is the special horror of
dogs that have no homes. They
browbeat and abuse him because he
has not pluck or strength to resent.
Like poor humanity, the canine has
no sympathy with the unfortunate of
his race. He is taken by the dog
catchers because there is no one to
muzzle him. The dollar or two is
never paid for his release, and he nj
last ends his useless and unhappy
life by city ordinance.

he was so particular in dressing and

John paused for moment at his
work, and looking up, not at the

such is the kingdom of heaven"
"And on this account you tend

A WOMAN WINS THE PRIZE.

Several weeks ago a number cf
the young people who reside in the
neighbOrhoOd of Savan Hill,in Dor.
chester, MasS., came together on the
spur OF the moment imprOvised a
jumping match for a small purse
between Mike Flynn and young
man named Murphy. In this match
Murphy was badly worsted, where.
upon his sister Kate,a "a bright strong
aud sprightly girl of about twenty
summers, became very indignant,
ana gave out to her companions that
she could out:jump Mike Flynn if
her brother could not. Katie became
very earnest in her asseveratiOns,
and to satisfy her q match was
made for purse of S75, and great
ly to the surprise of her friends
when the match came OFF, she won
it.
This greatly shamed the Flynn
jumpst and his friends, SO Hiss Ka.
! tie was challenged to another con.
test, for 200 a side, which came off
at Savan Hill on Tuesday afternoon,
Sept. 1th. The affair attracted quite
Il crowd to witness the sport, not
less than 400 people being present.
Katie made her appearance dressed
in flowing red flannel draw ers, la
bloOmer, with white merinO shirt and
and pair of pretty CATERS tightly
laced to her feet. Mr.. Flynn was
dressed nearly in the same manner.
The arrangements being all com
pleted the exercises began, Flynn
leading off with q leap of 10 ie.o
and 3 inches. Katie then took her
position, cheered on by her friends,
and made the leap, clearing dis
tance of 10 feet ~ inches. This
created great excitement in the
crowd and nerved up Katie Tor some
thing still better. The second leap
was called for, when Flynn came up
to the scraicr and cleared 10 feet and
) inches. This was very long jump,
and the Flynn party felt greatly
encouraged But Katie was again
introduced, her friends cheering and
feeling confident that she would
beat. Carefully she placed her little
gaiter boots on the line, and strain
ing every muscle in her well knit
frame made the eap,clearlng 10 feet
and 93 inches. This was too much
for her competitor, and amid the
plaudits of the whole company k.l-
tie retired with her purse of 14oO.
AS this affair has created great ex-
citement in the neighborhood, it is
possible that Katie may be started
for another match.-l Boston Herald.
