An Address to CoIored People.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The National
ing, President, and +. g. Barbodes,
Secretary, have issued the following ad
dress to the colored people Of the United
States:
Your National Executive Committee,
created by you In national conSenuOn
assembled January 18th, 1859, to urge
legislation looking to the educational
material and political interests OF the
colored people of the nation, deem that
they have at length arrived, IN the pro.
gfess Of their efforts, at the probable
political consummation Of their hopes,
III so far as the organic law of the Re
public is concerned. They recognize
that desired result In the anticipated
announcement Of the ratification OF the
fifteenth amendment to the Federal Con
stituGon, which forbids any abrldgement
Of the right Of suffrage on account OF
race, color or previous condition ct any
citizen Of the United States. lacy feel
that this amendment should, In the esti
mation 'of the colored men, transcend
II importance even the reyeFed deciara-
ton Of our national independence, mas
much as it is practical affirmation Of
the rights Of men, while the other was
but theoretical enunciation thereof.
Therefore has it been determined that
it is fitting for your committee to advise
the general assembling OF the coi3red
people of every state and territory
throughout the length and breadth of
the land, whenever said fifteenth amend
ment shall have been officially announced
as ratified, in order to offer up prayer
and thanksgiving to Almighty God, and
in all proper ways to assure the world of
your realization and appreciation of the
righteous act Of our fellow -countrymen
in constitutionally securing to us that
which has always been our just due, but
with held.
Your committee does hereby thus ad-
wise. and take occasion. at the same time
to declare in your name that this just act
OF the American people will be held at
its full estimation by those whom it en-
franchises; that they viii make such use
OF the rights as will add to the honor and
mrterlal interests of the country, and
that IN the possession of the right, along
With others previously secured, they will
feel that they really have a country to
respect and defend, as we'll as fellow
countrymen towards whom they can
cherish the most afectionate regard.

Married Themselves.

A correspondent Of the South Haven
Mich Sentinel gives the following par
ticulars of a recent marriage at Bred
vile:
This IS said to be a progressive age,
and we were uost happy to see it verifi-
ed on the Sd inst, in the marriage. at
the residence Of Mr. and Mrs. We Is
Brown, of Mr. VIM. Knowland, the we'll
known and popular speaker, and Mrs.
Frank Read. 1t was expected that Sister
/ orton would officiate upon The all-im-
portant occasion, but she was prevented
by illness. Under the circumstances it
was decided that the next best thing
would be for the parties 20 marry them
selves. Accordingly, after few mo-
ments consultation, the following cere-
mony was repeated by them, and legaliz-
ed bg Justice Hurbuft:
Frank, with your consent, before
these witnesses, | acknowledge you as
my true and loving wife,
The bride responded: L, too, Will
liam, with your consent, before these
witnesses, receive you as my loved and
lawful husband. Our souls united, we
shall be true to each other here and in

A CRUEL DECEPTION.

A German correspondent Of New
York paper relates the following story
Christmas and New Years are known
as good seasons for the return of long
lost members Of families The German
papers produced few DAYS after Chist-
mas rather remarkable yet suspicious
story from Lower Pomerania, to the fol-
lowing. 4 poor old woman, loaded with
age and plivations, and living in the vii
lage Of Arnsburg, near Ireptow, was
oyeIjOyed by remarkable Christmas
present. She had son, who had gone
to America twenty years ago but from
whom she had never heard, and whom
eve, however. as the poor old woman
was seated by her fre-side, a foreign
looking man, well dressed, bearded, with
top boots knocked at the door, enter
cd, and greeted her as his mother
The poor old woman was oyerioyed,
the more so when her nawly-found son
said that he was now rich man, had
been an inspector Of mines in America,
and showed american papers which lie
said represented his fortune Of ninety
thousand dollars. Incredible as the
story may appear, the mother and all
the villagers believed it !; the fatted calf
was slain, and reioicings on a large scale
were the order OF the day. The newly
found son, the inspector Of mines, had,
however, not brought his baggage home
with him; this he had left at the depot
at Colberg, whence he intended to fetch
it in few days. Unfortunately he had
left his overcoat there, and, as the day
on which he was to fetch his effects was
stormy, he went up to the tailor of the
village, borrowed the best overcoat he
could find. and got the unsuspecting
tailor to advance him four hundred thai
ers until he got his American notes
changed into Prusian currency at Cole
berg. He tlen started for his 1ggage,
but up to the time of writing he has not
returned. The poor old woman's Christ
mas prize turns out to be heartless de-
ception. Cases of this description have
frequently happened in Germany.

Isaac Greenwall, Henry K. Foster,
| Hugh johnson, and Gardner Wells-all
OF New York, were on their way to visit
photograph gallery. They intended to
have pictures taken and all wore blue
neckties. Near the Talon they were
stopped by man who pointed to the
neckties and addressed them in an ex-
cited manner in Spanish. None of the
party understanding the language, no
answer was returned. The unknown
man then took out a revolver and
fred upon them. Greenwall was shot
and killed; Foster and johnson were
severely wounded. The latter is in a
precarious condition. Wells was unhurt.
He ran for his life, a number Of people

THE FIRST BABY.

Did you ever think anything about
Eve and her first baby? | have, aud
often wondered how she aud Adam re-
ceived the little Cain. Did Eve nlistrust
that Cain was coming to visit her? and
did she sew little tender ig leaves into
tiny aprons, and put them away In some
hollow tree? (Of course they had hol-
lew trees there ta
L wonder if Adam ever dreamed Of the
little red-faced, pug-nosed, sleepy-eyed
squalIer, before the shrill baby voice
aroused him from his hitherto undisturb-
ed slumbers? Did he gaze into the
little face, and touch the little clenehed
hands with feelings Of awe and amaze
lnent? Did he pass his own toilstained
fingers over the delicate baby flesh, and
marvel how it could be so soft and vel
vety? Did he hold his breath when
Cain treated his parents to his first con
cert? Or did the distracted parent take
the little rascal and walk the garden with
him.
wonder if Adam was ever obliged to
get UP trom his warm nest and pace the
floor or the garden corner, called
home with the first baby dropping
over his left shoulder squalling with all
his might? Did little Cain ever yell and
scream and stitfen his cunning little
back bone in his wrath, until even Adam
could not bend him. E1-
Was it cold enough there to freeze
Adams night fig leaf, and did he walk
his garden home with the lig leaf frozen
stiff behind him ? Did he ever. get mad
and swear? Did the baby scratch and
bite, pull hair and daub molasses over
the clean fig leaves and upon the com
pany as he grew older 2 Was he called
the most beautiful baby in the world
Poor little Cain ! he had no aunts to pet
him, no uncles to wish him to Jericho,
and, worse than all that, he had no fond
grandpa nor grandma to spoil him.
Did you ever think how utterly mis-
cradle Mrs. Eve must have been when
there was no doctor to call in, to shake
his head over the child's measels Or
mumps? Did they have measels then ?
Dear me | might keep on asking qnes-
tions forever and only echo would an

IMPORTANT RAILROAD BILL.


The Whitewater Register publishes a
letter from correspondent, which clear
ly presents the features of the Railroad
bin recently introduced in the Assembly
by Mr. Chandler. The correspondent
believes it is just the measure needed at
this time. Its strong points are as fol
lows
Upon recording It's located and adopt
ed line IN the County Registers Office,
in any county through which it may Il ass,
1t becomes lawful for any town, city OF
village, on or near the proposed route to
subscribe to the capital stock Of any rail
road. Any such vote has the effect to
prevent the company from thereafter
changing its line without fist obtaining
the consent of such locality. This is a
wise and wholesome proyision,- and pro-
hlbits the company from securing aid to
build a railroad on proposed line and
then changing the route and thus
swlndling the people. no subscription
can be received for over $1,000 for each
mile, aud This not to be paid until the
road Is built and running.
The bonds given by the towns are
made payable at the State Treasury, in
w
the following sources
First, the state tax on the roads receiy-
ing the bonds, IS increased to ) per cent
on the gloss earnings and appropriate
thereof. Second, the stock received by
the towns, together with the dividends
thereon: and when sold the total pro-
ceeds thereof are sacredly and irreYoca-
bly, pledged and to be deposited for that
purpose. Third, the State Treasurer is
authorized to assess upon the increased
valuation OF the property OF the towns
along the line voting bonds, above the
valuation OF the year 1869, per cent,
equal to the state percentage Of the state
tax on the remainder Of property Of the
state-the tax arising from which. as well
as tina; from similar assessment by the
Clerk OF the Board of each county in
which towns have incurred iEdebtebness.
when raising the county tax is to be paid
into the State Treasury for the same
purpose. @
The correspondent concludes by say
ing:
Walworth county alone. if she were
willing, could afford to contribute one
dollar per acre for her agricultural lands.
which would be one tenth of the benefits
resulting thereto in direct value, and
would amount to 4,000 per mile for the
whole distance from Chicago to White
water, 81 miles, saying nothing about viii
lage and personal property And con.
tributon OF 40 cents per acre on the az
ricultural lands alone would produce
5000 per mile through the country

RECOVERING PROPERTY.

One thing remained to be done, and
that was to ascertain the wherea bouts of
the stolen property. The amount must
be. all agreed, very great, to have en-
abled the conspirators to keep up so
good style. This difficulty was sly

had seen the young .men- issue from a
house a few doors distant from the one
occupied by Vaughan and his sister. On
repairing thither, ,startlingrevelation took
place. 1t was found that Mrs. Wilson
had been the manageress of a baby nsti-
tuition, and derived large profit therefrom
How she obtained the children is and
ever will be mystery. Certain it is that
the police when they searched the house
scov rel eyeral infants, and all the
nece> ary appliance for many..more. The
nurse IN charge (for the babies were well
tended) implied that great number had
been sent away al various times, and the
only probable solution of this strange
matter was that there existed in New
York class of people who were able and
willing to pay heavy premiums to any
person charitable enough to relieve them
from the trouble of rearing their off
spring In the lower apartments valu-
ables of all kinds we're brought to light,
such as silks, jewelry, gold ornaments,
etc.. aud for many of them owners We're
found. The three young thieves are an

ton of Mrs Wilson, twho was really well
born. and the widow of coloneD was
no easy matter, with such consummate
sact had she acted her part. She did
not, however, escape scot free, as Mr..
johnson, to bis own chagrin learned that
the fair widow had availed herself of his
kind offer few days previously, and had
succeed in obtaining quantity of goods
on credit, that were lost to him forever.
For obviousreasons we have suppressed
the real names of the chief actors in this
little comedy; but our readers may rest
assured that in every other respect the
tale i. strictly true.
