a}IoNing touehiHsv statement from a

cfeat9re he has led the world to believe,
hsE sensibilities would not have remained
so acute that she died in less than too
years Of a broken heart. She was weak
and c9wardly. I admit. Alas! these de.
fects Would have made her sacred in the
eyes Of manly man, and he would have
done his utmost TO shield her from evil.
Let me depict the few last hours in the
life Of this injured woman. Stung, it may
be, by an irresponsible feeling of re-
morse. he pretends in the eyes of the
will not discuss the propriety of this
kind of klopstock sentiment. Ispeak of
the fact. She was placed in handsome
house, with the ordinary appliances of
wealth. Of the secret history of the two
at this time nothing need be said. She
was ruined in character, broken in
health, utterly lost to the world rs only
a woman can be lost-left without hope,
without society and without sympathy,
except from the few who were related to
her, and who loved and pitied her. She
had long intervals of nervous prostra-
ton, when she would lie for hours like a
dying person. She sat day after day, head
leaning upon her wasted hand, and even
listless, seeing and caring for little in
world whose sunshine to her had been
so darkly eclipsed. She sighed family,
but said little or nothing. She was
sad Wreck. She knew she was dying,
and expressed no thought or interest in
anything but her absent daughter. One
day she turned suddenly to young
friend and asked: DO you think me a
guilty woman?" and without waiting for
an answer, she went on, "I wish to
speak now while can. I was so shock
ed and terrified at that horrible time that

not guilty of any sin. Mr.. Sickles was
very violent-I was afraid of him-he
brought me a paper, which he said I
must sign-he said he should be hung if
Of that paper; I did not know one word
written in it. put my name where he
told me, ard to save his life"
She was sinking rapidly, and was car
ried to her bed from a long fainting turn.
AS she opened her eyes, reviving slowly,
they fell upon the face of Daniel L.
Sickles, painted and framed, hanging
before her. Lifting her pale hand, she
said: "Take it away"
Those about her demonstrated; but the
second and the third time she murmured,
''Take it away"
The picture was removed. "Now place
my daughters face there" she said, with
O sad smile. This was done, and she
gazed with q longing, wistful look upon
the young face, and sighed heavily. The
poor weary eyes closed, and she was gone
to Him unto whom is open the secrets of
the heart.

It will be seen that the calculation, though sur
prisngly the actual result, little ahead at
last, though Texas had been annexed and New Mexi-
co and California conquered, meantime, Louisiana
had been few years before Mr.. Watson wrote.
Deduct all that gained by these extensions of ter
ritory and all population in 1860 would have fallen
very considerably short of the estimate, though we
believe it was then overstated. That census-or, at
least good part of twas taken by persons whose
compensation was based on tho numbers returned /;
hence great temptation to exaggera te- We believe
the population of this city for instance) made
100000 more than it actually We hope to see
extraordinary pains taken next year, the lists return-

We judge that our population in 1870, fairly emu
merated, will fall considerably below Mr.. Watsons
estimate though it will somewhat exceed forty mil
lions. That unless re-enforced by future annexa-
tons it win in 1900 fall considerably below hun
dred millions cannot reasonably be doubted. Il New

It is not very uncommon thing for
women to serve in the disguise of sol
diers,s and our late war presents several
examples. The services, however, APP
pear to have been inconsiderable and
the DISCUSSES imperfect, for discharged

war of the American Revolution two or
thr ee instances of heroic action on the
part of women were gratefully acknowl
edged by the public authorities. Con.
gress passed resolution making hon.
orable mention of the services of Mar
garet Corbin, wounded at the attack on
Fort Washington, where she filled the
post left vacant by her husband, who
was killed at her side while serving a
piece of artillery. A complete suit and
half the monthly pay Of soldier were
voted to her. The gunners wife who
took her husbands place when he was
killed at tue battle of Monmouth was
rewarded by commission. But no ad-
ventures of the kind attracted so much
attention as the wonderful romance OF

the long term, and rendered services

The Bank Of England War on America

A month ago the Bank of England
pushed up tile rate from p to per cent !,
and two weeks since it was fixed at a.
The reason of this was the depression
created in England, and especially at
the bank, by the export Of funds to
America for the purchase of National
bonds. The imitation in America has
been fostered and private credit sustain
ed by money drawn from England either
as loans on or investments in bonds.
These bonds have served US like a per
petual cotton supply to draw upon and
thus has a collapse in this country been
warded off. It has been found necessa.
ry: to check the outflow of funds to
America; and hence the advance of the
rate. If a. per cent. shall not suffice, it
will go to and higher, even. to 10 per
cent. If necessary.
1t is seen that the people of the Uni
ted States will .eat and be merry as
long as the supply of bonds continues :;
hut the collapse must come-perhaps in
few months-perhaps it will be STAYED
off for year or two. 1t is claimed that
for self defense England is compelled to
make war upon our bonds. Sumner
speech seems to stimulate this hostility.
Such is the reasoning of the London
Times. The News declares that the
time has come when American bonds
must begin TO travel in the other direc-
tion-homeward. The Star cannot see
why the Bank of England should punish
the whole commercial community be-
cause a few persons on the continent and
in England have invested in United
States bonds.
1t is stated that ESQ, 100000 have
been invested in these bonds by Euro
peans and Englishmen, and that bonds
remain for as much more. ssg
sas It seems to be big game the Bank
of England has undertaken. It might
effect something disastrous for this
country were the prospect less bright
for bountiful year. If our crops come
in according 10 present promise, we can
continue to seat. drink and be N erry,' to
'laugh and grow fat for at least year
longer, in spite Of all the Bank Of Eng
land can do. ssasssek
