Another year had flown around
AID little Nan, whom we left with
the dead on that ~oiul night, was
maintaining herself by sewing for
the Sife,o a wealthy citizen, one
Mr.. Bradford, proprietor Of the
celebrated St. James Hotel, who
had once lived at Cumberland, and
had occasionally stopped at the
Travellers Welcome" while on
his way TO Rockville, and had been
acquainted with Mans father.
'One evening our little heroine
was bending industriously over
her work, whom she was startled by
loud, authoritative knock at the
door OF the snug little cottage
which she occupied.
She quickly opened it and was
surprised as we'll as pleased to see
her only friend, Mrs Bradford
walk in and, without waiting for
an invitation, take seat by the
cheerful fire; all the while talking
vigorously to Nan-for Mrs. Brad
tord was a very loquacious little
woman.
"There'sa sick man, she ratified

The feature OF the magazine is OF course Mrs.

untrue. No one doubts Mrs Stoves veracity, but
the evidences against Lady Byrons statements
conclusive that she must have made it under hallu-
cinatton, and Mrs. Stowe certainly ought to have

HARKARD Us. OXFORD.

The race between the Harvard and Oxford
boat clubs will come off in few days, and if
the Americans do not win it will not be for
want of advice and criticism from the English
papers of every degree. Their size, weight,
build, and general appearance have been
infinitely described for the benefit of an ad-
miring public, and their style of rowing has
been analyzed and compared with the English
in manner advantageous to the latter. The
Harvard crew appear to have made more
favorable impression since they have gone
into regular training, and the consequence is
that the odds have increased in their favor.
Thus far they have had nothing to complain
of in the way of entertainment. Every
facility for training has been afforded
them, and they have been treated with the
most open-hearted hospitality, and thus far
there are no indications of jealousy or desire
to have anything but a fair trial of skill and
strength. English fair play, however, has
become proverbial for meaning exactly oppo-
site what it processes; and if the Harvard
crew should win in this contest, it will be in
every way a remarkable occurrence. In the
first place, they labor under the disadvantage
of rowing on a narrow, tortuous course, diff
ferent from what they are accustomed to, but
with which their opponents are perfectly
familiar; they are obliged to carry the dead
weight of a coxswain the boat they carried
across the Atlantic proved not adapted to the
narrow river where the race is to come of,
and it has been necessary to have a new one
built; and last, but not least, the betting odds
and national pride are both against them
to such a degree that, were all other things
equal, they would scarcely be permitted to
win. Nothing but fair, square victory on
either side will satisfy the public in this con-
test, and if the Harvard crew is defeated by
| any trick, or suspicion of trick, it will be a
warning that ought to last American sports
men for all coming time. The greatest in
| terest in the race exists both in this country
and in Europe, and the cable man, true to his
instincts, gives us detailed accounts every
day of the progress of the crews, and the state
of the betting-books, as if the future pros
| perity of the two countries depended upon
| the race. The news in this instance is of
course interesting, but if the press agent
| exhibited the same amount of enterprise in
collecting information about events of real
value he would fulfil the functions of his
Office much more satisfactorily to the readers
| of American newspapers

.STRTCK BY LIGHTNING.

JUDGE DENT, in the course of his ferocious
assault upon Secretary Boutwell,, declares
that the New York SIN is the Secretarys
organ, whereupon the SIN turns the full glare
of its scorching beams upon Dent, and comes
within hairs breadth of utterly obliterating
him. The SIMS article, to which we give
place elsewhere, concludes with this para
graph
at has been suggested that It would be lucky for
General Grant IL his brothers-in-law could all De
struck by lightning. IL such event is to happen
at ALL it would be an advantage to the General II the
lightning would be very prompt and very enecUua
in the case OF Judge Dent"
There may be little malice in this, but
the force of the point made is very plain, and
there can be no doubt that the President
would have good cause to rejoice at whole
sale bereavement of the sort suggested. The
very worst incumbranoe wherewith man
holding a high official position can be afflicted
is a brother-in-law, and ranking next after
brothers-in-law come brothers-in-blood sons,
nephews, uncles, and cousins, near and re-
mote. The fewer personal ties q man has
the better off is he when he has entered upon
political life. If President Grant had not
been encumbered with a father, the gross
abuse which has been heaped upon him by
the Copperhead papers because he has not
turned the old gentleman out of the Coving-
ton post Office would have been diverted
into another and more reasonable channel.
If all his near relatives, and all the
near relatives of his wife, had been
consigned to the grave in their infancy, the
ridiculous twaddle in which the Copperhead
sheets indulge from day to day on the subject
of his nepotism would have been averted. AS
long as the President has been blessed or
cursed with half a dozen kinsmen, not all of
whom are capable of cutting such sorry
figures as Judge Dent, it is entirely proper
for him to appoint them to such official posi-
tions as they are fitted for holding, and the
only just ground for assailing his motives in
so doing would be fair show of proof that
they are all either imbecile or corrupt. Yet
it must be acknowledged that it would be a
great relief to him, and sore tribulation to
his enemies, if the great thunder-shower
which is to relieve Philadelphia from its pre-
sent thirsty dilemma should at the same time
play the mischief with the Grant and the Dent
families, leaving the President and his wife
solitary and alone in the world, the last of
their race

The CHASE MO VEMENT IN MARY
LAND

JUDGE BOND and several other prominent
Maryland politicians have united in sub
scribing to a card, in which they repudiate
the charge, so frequently brought against
them of late, that they are laboring in the
interest of Chief Justice Chase, and seeking
to pave the way to his nomination for the
Presidency in 1872, even at the risk of utterly
destroying the Republican party of the State
They say that the charge is prompted by the
malice of persons who, while clamoring for
harmony, are engaged in sowing discord by
attempting to ostracize and drive out of the
party large number of true and earnest
Republicans. They claim that they are tho
roughly identified with the Republican party,
that they heartily support the administration,
and that they are not in any way or to any
extent mixed up with the Chase movement.
II is to be hoped that all this is true, and that
tbe dissensions which have recently disturbed
the Republican party of Maryland will soon
cease to exist.
In no State in the Union can the Republi-
cans less afford an indulgence in an internal
eouabble than in Maryland. Through the
treachery of Swami and his followers the en-
tire governmental machinery of the State as
well as that of the city of Baltimore, has been
thrown into the hands of the Secession Demo
cracy, and only by presenting united front
can the State ever be redeemed, even after

AN APOLOGY FOR 4 TRAITOR.

an APOLOGY FOR a TRAITOR.
REFERRING to our article of yesterday about
John Mitchell, the Age this morning says
''There is no man who has no right to justice,
and to seek it, too, in the courts established to
administer it," We do not dispute this pro-
position, and that it is a proof not only of the
magnanimity of the Government, but of its
respect for the abstract rights of such a scamp
as Mitchell that he is permitted to enter the
courts with suit such as he has brought
against General Dix. This does not alter the
fact that it is brazenly impudent thing for
Mitchell to do, or that, if he had received his
dues at the hands of justice, his worthless
carcass would have been suspended from the
gallows long ago That the Age should enter
defense for Mitchell is perfectly natural. 1t
was established to apologize for the Re-
bellion, and it has faithfully fulfilled its
mission. 1t, of course, considers this profess
sional traitor deeply injured individual, and
General Dix scoundrel of the deepest dye,
who will only get off too cheaply if he merely
has to pay $685. 900 damages to the victim of
| his TYRANNY
