THE FIVE ONLYs.

Only a stray sunbeam Yet, per
chance, it has cheered some wretched
abode, gladdened some stricken heart
or its golden light has found its way
through the leafy branches of some wild
wood, kissed the moss-covered bank
where the tiny violets grow, and shades
of beauty to adorn its lovely form. On
ly a gentle breeze But how many
hearts have been cheered by its gentle
touch Only a frown ! But it left q
sad, dreary ache in that child's heat
and the quivering lip and fearful eyes
told how keenly he felt it. Only a
smile But, ali. it cheered the broken
heart, engendered a ray of hope, and
cast a halo of light around the unhappy
patient; made the bedridden one forge
his present agony for moment in the
warmth of the sunshine. Only a word
of Encouragement single word Il
gives to the dropping spirit new life, and
the steps press on to victory.

A BACHELORS CONGRATULA-
TIONS,

EDS. GAZETTE I notice in last weeks
GAZETTE the marriage notice of my
highly esteemed bachelor friend, H. c.
Frost, of Berkshire For many years
Henry has been at the right of our bach
fraternity, and being the tallest, and a
shade the oldest, we considered him
commander of the company; but now
that he has gone and surrendered, or
permitted himself to be captured, 1 feel
that it is useless to hold out any longer.
Therefore, so far as I am concerned, the
war is over. The above notice did not
state whether his surrender was uncon-
ditional or otherwise however, l am
willing to surrender under the same stip-
ulations. Henry is warned that it is his
positive duty to kill chicken, a gobbler,
or some other varmint, and invite me
down; and whether he does or not, he
/ is hereby notified that I am coming.
throw up my old slouch hat and
shout, bully for Frost What is Mr.
Ramsey's loss is Henry's gain and in
conclusion I would say, in the language
of the Good Book to our first parents,
"be faithful" &c. R. B.

The names of most of the Cinnamon
who come to America look very strange
and dreadful. But this is at least partly
owing to our absurd custom of printing
their names with capital letters to each
Of the syllables. For example, we no
tice in the San Francisco papers the
names of Ii Po Ta and Hi F<i Ling and
Su So Chi Ping, and others of like ap-
pearance. Now suppose the names of
these Celestial individuals were printed
as Mr.. Lipota, or Mr.. Hikiling, or Mr..
Susochiping, they would not appear to
be more queer than many of the French,
German and Spanish, to say nothing OF
the English names which we see daily,
and have become quite familiar with.
If the names of Mr.. Oh Hag Ger Ty, or
Mr.. Ro Sc Grams, or Mr.. In Ger Soil
were printed thus, they would look as
funny as the Chinese names.

THE DEPOSIT BANKING COMPANY,

At the regular annual meeting of the
Stockholders of this bank, held Tues
day, 10th inst. the following directors
were elected, H. w. Pumphrey. A. Ly-
brand, J. H. Mendenhall, E. r. Thomp-
son and T. E. Powell
H. w. Pumphrey was elected Presi-
dent, and H. A. Welch, Cashier.
But few persons are aware of the
large business this bank has built up in
a few years. It was organized by a
number of our prominent business men,
in December, 1867. on the principle
that to the depositors belongs part of
the profits, and so popular was this
principle with the people that at the end
of the first year its deposits amounted
to 100000, and at the end of the third
year SIo7, 900. It has received on de-
posit since it was opened for business
s., ,253, 900 and allowed over $4,000 in
terest to depositors. The amount OF
loans outstanding at the end of the third
year was $4,000. Cash on hand and
in Cincinnati, S24, 900
1t still continues to receive deposits
and pay interest as per advertisement.

REUNION OF THE N1NETY-sIxrH.

1t is a soul-refreshing time for those
who were associated in the hardships,
perils, triunPhs and reverses of the late
war, when they are permitted to reunite
the fraternaI bondsformed amid such nlu-
tuaI experiences of privation and danger.
Those who have never participated in
such experiences can never understand
how kindly, how brotherly how unsel-
fish and how enduring is the feeling
which old comrades in arms bear to-
ward each other and how precious is
the recollection of the eventful years
when amid the exposures of the cam
paign and the shock of battle. human
life was the cheapest of all things. and
when, human hearts were cemented by
unity of peril in the unity of unselfsh
sacrifice and of grand achievement
None on earth can be more fratenally
connected than they, whether high or
low, who have laid their lives together
on one common altar, nor can any. ap-
preciate fully the inspiration Of that sac
ri6ce and the kindly emotion the men,
ory of it awalens but those who have
participated in it. There is always fra
ternity Of feeling between those who
have stood together in the struggle for a
great cause, whether the. conflict be NOR
al or physical; what then must be the
bond uniting those who were shoulder
to shoulder in the grandest struggle for
the grandest cause in human history
Such is the magnetism which draws
together from far and near the soldiers
of the old regiments in their social reun-
ions. So the revolutionary patriots
gathered under the shadow of their bat
tle-stained ensigns in the annual meet
ings of the Society of the Cincinnati, Of
which Washington was chief. So the
veterans of Napoleon assembled on
stated occasions to revive the reminis-
cences Of their historic lives, and pay al
the shrine of their great leader their re.
spectful tribute of Remembrance. With
our soldiers it is not merely leader but
a cause to be remembered not merely
a tribute to pay but an honorable and
kindly feeling to perpetuate.

less outlay Of money. 1t IS well for the

CONCERNING mRs. GEN. LOGAN.

Mrs. Logan is a native of Missouri,
transpIanted to Southern IllinOls-a
small, fragile lady, with an attractive,
mobile face, a mass of turbulent black
hair, and sharp eyes selected to match
it, a wide experience of the social world,
a good fund of information, abundant
wit, and a ready tongue freighted with
complaisance and suavity. She certainly
impresses very pleasantly all WHO come
within her influence. Having accom-
panied her husband in the field, she is
familiar with camp life in all its varied
phases. At Belmont and Fort Henry,
at Donelson and Viclsburg, she hover
ed on the edge of the battle, and kept
her eve fondly on one particular flag. Is
it extraordinary that she should follow
his fortunes with equal fidelity now ?
And IS it anything less than infamous
that her fair name should now be made
the subject of insults in the Chicago
Re6ubzican, whose editor, when cor
respondent in the field, broke free bread
at her table for weeks together, and
rode her husbands horses and drank
gratuitously of the commissary whisky !?
Strangers and lifelong enemies are safe
from the outrageous calumnies Of this
young man it is only those whose guest
he has been that he assails.
Mrs. Logan dresses neatly and plainly;
a black silk. edged with satin, point
Iaces. a silken knot at the throat. and
gold chain. Her parlor is an exchange
of suavities she never herself introduces
the subject of politics. but, if asked, has
no hesitation in confessing that she IS
strongly prejudiced in favor Of Logan,
and in stating tersely why she thinks he
ought to be sent to Washington.
She is never aggressive or intrusive on
this point, but is fearless and confident,
and exercises her woman's right of
speech with such persuasive tact that
there is no doubt whatever that she has
made some votes for the coming man.
Doubtless a round dozen of gentlemen
from the unpaved districts have crossed
that charming threshold, confident that
they were for Oglesby or neutral, who
have ever since worked steadily for the
swarthy little General, and haven't any
idea what changed their minds. The
ascinations are so thoroughly disguised
that even the Oglesby man is disarmed
in their presence, but he feels their po-
tency.-Sb11mgfezd (LZs.) Letter, 10 tie

As a fitting close to the festivities OF
the holidays, and a proper Precipitation for
the favors of a new year, an Oyster Sup
per was given at Union Hall, Tuesday
evening, the proceeds to go to the RELIEF
Of the needy. Two hundred dollars in
cash, in addition to provisions &c, was
the result an amount amply sufficient,
with proper management, to supply all
the necessaries and many of the com
forts to all of our deserving poor during

MISS REAm's STATUE.

Winnie Ream' IS success in the Lincoln
statue is a cause of qualification to all
decent people There was no great
cause for supposing her sculptor, ex-
cept that talent for the fine arts is a
birthright of every American born, as
Congress thought she had talent in
this line, and they gave her an order
for statue of Lincoln at $40, 900, which
was little enough for a work fit to be
accepted. But thereupon number Of
women who lecture and write on Wo-
mems wrongs fell foul of her and as
sailed her with that charge which, with
immaterial notifications of phrase, is
the first and last argument of women
of all classes when they desire to IN
jure each other.
They charged that she procured the
order by improper familiarities with
the members. They said she was no
artist, but was only pretty-that is,
such as men call pretty. That foul
penned old she Thersites, Mrs. Swiss
helm, pitched in after her foul manner.
And this ambitious little sculptor was
charged with turning a member of Con-
gress against impeachment. Upon this
charge both her capacity as an artist
and her character for chastity were
condemned. This is a specimen of the
sweet odor women will bring into par
tisan contests. Nor was this limited
to women. Some of the correspond
ents wrote that although she had been
at work six months on her clay model,
she had done nothing but stick plas-
ter bust on top of the heap of clay, and
smear it over with clay to hide.the de-
ception.
General Butler had her bundled out
of her studio in the basement of the
Capitol, to turn it into a prison for Mr..
Woolley, when he was being subjected
to one of those inquisitions which But
Ter seems to hold for his private ae-
QUESTION of knowledge; for the public
never saw any that came from them.
Under this shaver of obloquy this del
icate young gil transported her clay
image to Italy, md has now returned
with the statue in marble, which has
been shown to few persons and is
we'll spoken of. We hope it is a work
great enough to give her q fame that
will compensate for the abuse that has
been heaped upon Cincinnati Ga
zette.
