| A lady in Ohio tells the following tale,
| illustrating the spirit of bloody violence
| which still prevails to an alarming extent
at the south: Three years ago last spring
my husband purchased beautiful plan
tation on the Arkansas river, forty miles
above Napoleon, and engaged in the cul
tivation Of cotton. He took negro labor
ers with him from Concinatti, and settled
them In neat cabins on the plantation, each
having piece of ground attached suffici-
ent for garden, etc. This, in addition
to liberal wages, placed them in better
circumstances than many of their white
neighbors. This was sore trial to the
''chivalry" of altered fortunes. By avoid
ing all discuss els of a political nature
and attending strictly to the business of
his plantation, my husband managed to
live quite peaceably with all classes for
more than two years. But that secret
southern organization, SO hostile to north
ern civilization and true liberty, had
marked him for its victim Accordingly
on the night of the Oath OF March, 1868,
about o'clock, while seated at his desk
writing letter, a cowardly assassin stole
in front of the window, and shot him
through the head killing him instantly.
Evidence sufficient has been obtained to
convince us that the murder was commit
ted by resident of the place, Cred Fork)
who had sworn that no northern man
shall live in this community who treats
niggers like folks" And true to that
oath, they have succeeded in killing or
driving away every loyal northern man
From hot I'd f,I
land is left unto them desoate; for they
have not capital sufficient to cultivate
their plantations, and the negroes have
no faith in the promises Of their former
masters, and consequently will not work
on the credit system. God only knows
what is to become of this wretched peo-
pie, whose code of morals is symbolized
in whlskey, bowie knives, and revolyers;
and who live in violation Of all law, hui
man and divine"

Life in Mexico.

The life Of the hacienda is very pleasant
and will unfit a man for active pursuits
as quick as anything in the world. He
has great troop Of poems in the hacien-
do, whose condition is little above that of
slavery, and in governing them he is a per
feet autocrat A peon never approaches
a patron, but if he has anything to com
municate it is done through the chief
stewart or. majordomo, who, with uncov-
cred head, treats his master with the
greatest respect. ,a.
The hacienda rises at or before sunrise
and takes chocolate or coffee, lights a CT
garette, and rambles about the buildings
and cattle yards till ten or eleven O'clock,
when bre8 kfast is announced. The table
is laid beneath some wide-spreading weep
ing willow in which number of turtle
doves are cooling, and famed by the frag-
rant morning breeze, the little monarch
surrounded by half doz wat 2hful at
tendants, takes his matin meal
First comes casuela, a thick, rich soup,
full ofvegetables, followed by beefsteak,
a stew, roast salad and coffee or chocolate
Good native wine is used freely during
the meal, and after an hours lounging at
the table the hacienda amuses himself I'M
til two or three o'clock IN giving orders
to his overseers, or wandering over his
luxurious pastures. At three o'clock he
takes his siesta, and sleeps till five o'clock
when he again forces sufficient energy to
walk about little, and at six or seven
o'clock he sits down to dinner. At this
meal the custom generally in vogue is re-
versed Roast and salad comes. on the ia
BILE first, next boiled game, etc, followed
by a stew and winding up with broth,
fruit, coffee and cigars. By eight o'clock
the beds are brought out, and placed in
the yard, and nine o'clock, finds all sleep
ing soundly in the open air. 7 4'.
Occasionally the proprietor of the haci
endo sends an invitation to the neighbor
ing families, to come over on a certain
evening to tertulla, when the native
dance is kept up till the small hours to
the music of guitars. So the days and
weeks and months glide by, the hacienda
eating, sleeping and eternaHy smoking
cigarettes, while his stewards collect anC
turn over funds, and his retlnue of poems
toll. This idle life is adopted by every
foreigner who settles in the country. The
Yankee arrives full of VIM, and thinks ht
will set an illustrious example of Saxor
industry and enterprise but after few
weeks, the eneryating influences of thi
sirni-tropical climate have thinned hi
blood, subdued his energy, and brouph
him down to gentle pace, and in tire,
months he finds it as impossible to dis
pense with the daily siesta, as it would b

A PEEIOUs loUH.-The Viccroy Of
Ngypt has sent one of his sons to
Paris 70 complete his education"
and another to England for the same
purpose. 1t seems that the practice of
economy does not enter into the
Egyptian Soycreign's notions Of in
slrnrtion, for the young prince located
ut Paris has been allowed to hire for
himself an entire mansion in one Of the
first quarters, at IL very high rent,
though it is the custom there, even for
wgaI,hypeoplc, to content themselves
with 'apartmCnts.' The prince has
also been allowed to spend between
g2,G00 and $4,000 in decorating the
interior. He is now engaged in buying
furniture for it, and what his notion OF
the furniture needed can be judged
from the fact that he has given $500
for single carpet. In his stables he
has already placed twelve horses, Arab
or Thoroughbred English, and nu
mcrcus carriages of different kinds
and though winc-drinking is prohibited
TO the disciples Of Mahomet, he is
having his cellar stocked with the
very best, and consequently the most
costly wines.

Men and Women.

Men love things as facts, possessions
and estates and women, persons; and
a man regards only abstract, scientific
facts; a woman looks only at the per-
son in whom they are embodied. Even
in childhood, the little girl loves an
imitation of humanity--her doll---and
works for it; the boy gets hobby
horse, or tools, and works with them
But the noblcst quality wherewith na-
ture has endowed for the good of the
world, is love--that love which seeks
no sympathy and no return. The child
is the object Of love, kisses, watching
and answers them only by complaint
aid anger; and the feeble creature that
requires the most repays the least. But
mother goes on; her love only grows
stronger the greater the need and un-
thankfulness of its object; and while
fathers prefer the strongest of their
children, the mother feels more love
for the feeble and garrulous.
