.F Extract from speech madh on
Thursday by Mr.. Kimmell, menber
of the Senate Of Maryland:
"Dixie's tar away" but her history
will present for thousand years to
come--not only in the heroic sacrifices
her people made for liberty in the ear
lIer days, but in their later struggle for
principles lying at the foundation OF
free principles recogniz-
ed in Magma Charta itself--will their
history be transmitted to posterity as
the history of Carthage is. Their fight
:. rs / 1reedom's fight; and the time may
come when the same nell, animated by
the heroic spirit, may be called upon to
stand around a Senate sent by Southern
States, which shall arrest the mad de-
struction that is now subyerting the
Government. When all these amend
lnents to the Constitution, which have
been forced upon unwilling States by
terror aid frald, shall have been swept
away, 1t is there again among that peo-
pie that we are to relight the fires that
lighted our fathers through the Revolu-
tion.

racy, and energy, which your system SO re-
markably eXacts.
Your thorough acquaintance with the An

MY DEAR SIR The lapse of another year
enables me to speak more decidedly as to the
merits of your system OF education; and IT
is no less my duty than my pleasure to say
that both as to literary culture and moral
training do not believe there is a better
school within the limits of Virginia. You
have evidently the happy talent of stimulat-
ing fondness for study in your scholars,
whilst you lose no opportunity of quicken
ing their sensibilities for all that is high or
honorable in life. l continue to congratu-
late myself that my son was placed under
your charge, as his progress in all respects
has met my warmest hopes, and feel that
it would be unjust in me to withhold this
voluntary tribute to your excellence as o

My DEAR FRIEND:
My son has been more benefited by your

you sufficiently.

The Debts OF Minors.

There can be no more certain assur-
ance to young men Of a disastrous bus
mess life than the mourning of debts
during his minority. And the term
minority may be considered to include
the years during which he remains in
the position of clerk or pupil, even
though his years extend beyond the
lone and twenty" which to many a
Needless youth is the date of confined
pecuniary slavery, not freedom. Ex-
pensive habits among clerks, appren-
tees, the undergraduate in colleges,
and the students of professions, lead to
pecuniary embarrassments of the very
worst description, for it is not seldom
the case that the parents of these young
men are put to great cost, and frequent
rigid economy, to provide and continue
the means for their support. The cal
culation of expenses has been based
upon the necessary outlay only. Many
Of the fondest parents would decline to
mortgage their property, or to obtain
money at interest, or to wrong their
other children, in order to give the IA
vored son money to expend In amuse-
mentsv over-dressing, or dissipation IN
any foam. The young man himself
would not dare to ask this in plain
terms, and yet not Il few incur expenses,
and appeal through mother, or a self
denying sister for the funds to obtain
release from difficulty or to avert dis
grace. This is virtually the formula of
the highwayman reversed to suit the
case; ''Your money or my life !" The
parental instinct and the family pride
thus appealed TO, the applicant is sue
cessful while any power of satisfying
the demand ia left; and the household
at home pinch themselves that the
! graceless son may flourish abroad.
/ But appetite grows by what it feeds
on, and all that can be raised at home is
insufficient Habits of duplicity are
created, and the fond parents are de-
ceiyed into thinking chat they have
quenched the fire, when they have only,
in reality, been supplying fuel. The
young spendthritt is more involved than
ever, more extravagant and more reck-
less, The evil habit of indulgence to
escape thought follows, and, from the
! first sad mistake of outrunning the in
I come, life of mistakes is dated. The
small leak sinks the ship, and sad
wreck, mental, moral and pecuniary, is
the result. Parental affection sent forth
the bark fully equipped, and hoped to
see it return fully freighted. But the
result is, everything lost, not excepting
honor. Philadelphia Ledger.

ness pronounced, went out and got
this letter which now hold, for | re-
membered having seen one bearing the
signature of Nancy Luther This let
ter was taken from the mail bag, and it

"Now, your Honor" I said, as

The case was given to the jury imme-
diately following the examination of
the letter. They had heard from the
witnesses own mouth that she had no
money Of her own, and without leaving
their seats they returned verdict of
g Not guilty"

not been Immediately arrested for

Condition Of Lady Thornc.



This famous trotting mare has been
in this city ever since her accident on
the 4th of August, resting quietly at
the stables attached to the residence of
Hon. n. G. Bradstreet She has been
carefully watched, and everything done
that human ingenuity could devise to
restore her to the turf. All remedies
have failed, and the most sanguine
have abandoned the hope to see her
again on the course. The point of the
bone on the left hip is four or FIVE inch
es lower than it shonld be, and she
throws the foot, or rather ,drags it,
when she walks, much like man who
has suffered from paralysis. The
condition of the mare other
wise is excellent. Her keeper informs
lis that she was never in better health.
She runs at freedom over stable floor,
upon sawdust, and receives company
with an apparent relish She is very
kind, docile animal in the stable, and
her misfortune is the subject of regret
by all who see her. She will leave
Rochester in day or two for New
York. Dan Mace is expected here soon
to take her away. She will be devoted
to breeding, and may yet give the
American turf q defendant that will
beat her time. Lady Thorne is now II
years old. She has trotted d mile in
2:171. and it is thought by those best
informed that but for this accident she
would have beaten this time, and that
of every other horse at the Buffalo "a
ces. She is owned by the Mace Broth
ers, and cost them $3j, 900 Twice that
sum would not have bought her before
the accident.
