called Democratic Legislature propose to

corruption. am an ex.confedoratc and
would like to have the elective franchise
which has SO long been withheld from me;
but as God is my judge, I would rather be
deprived of it forever rather than exer-
else it in such disgruceful and degrading
manner as it is offered to me by tho new
election law. When returned from the
war, accepted the situation 10 good faith,

ANEcDOTE OF BEECHER AND CHAPIN.-
Speaking Of churches reminds me of an
anecdote of Henry Ward Beecher and Dr.
Chaplin. During their We cation, they were
travellinga short stage route together
and according to their wont-and | must
say the wont of all good men on such oc-
casions-rode upon the outside, passing
the time most agreeably in admiring the
scenery. At one of the stopping places
on the route, cOuntryman asked them
could they make room for him up there"
which they cheerfully did. Soon after
taking his seat, Mr.. Beecher entered into
conversation with him, and finding that
he had recently returned from vis. to
New York, and to use his own expression
''had seen enough of it, asked him if he
ever went to meeting there. He said he
did, aAd went over to Brooklyn to hear a
fellow preach-he did not remember his
name.
"Henry Ward Beecher?" suggested DR..
Chaplin.
''Yes, that was his name"
''How did you like him?' asked DR.,

RAPID PROGRESS OE HE WORK


| The building of the Northern Pacific Railroad
(begun July last) is being pushed forward with
great energy from both extremties OF the line
Several thousand men are employed IN Alnnesota
and on the Pacific coast. 1he grade IS nearly
completed 20B miles westward from Lake supe-
rior; trains are running over 1870 miles of finished

to at least $50.
now selling, and unhesitatingly recommend as a
Profitable and perfectly safe investment the First
Mortgage Land Grant Gold Bonds of the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company. They have 30 years
to rum bear Seven and Threc-Tenths per cent. gold
interest (more than per cent. currency and are
secured by first and only mortgage on the entire
road and its equipments, and also as fast as the
$4,000 ACRES OF LAND to every mile of track
or 500 Acres for cash 81 900 Bond. They are ex-
empt from U. S. Tax; Principal and Interest are
payable in Gold; Denominations; Coupons, 800

par, in exchange for the Companys Lands, at their
lowest cash price. This renders them practically

SINKING FUND. The proceeds of all sales of
Lands required to be devoted to the repurchase
and cancellation of the First Mortgage Bonds of
the Company. The Land Grant of the Road ex-
Fund will undoubtedly cancel the principal of the
Company's bonded debt before it falls due. With
their ample security and high rate of interest there
is no investment, accessible to the people, which is
more profitable or safe.

success of the New Government per cent. Loan

THE TWO ANGELS.

For the Journal.
THE TWO ANGELS.
"of what are you thinking my little Bertha,
Standing behind the curtain alone !"
81 am watching the shadows falling father,
And the pale stars coming, one by one"
But an hour ago, the golden sunlight
Shone DER the treetops and frightened the
room;
Then behind the halls, sank lower and lower,
And LEFT me standing alone in the gloom.
II do not love the darkness father
IL chased the beautiful sun away,
He looked so sad in his fading glory;
wept and prayed that he yet might stay"
Come hither beside me daughter Bertha,
Are you weary standing? then sit on my knee
And III tell you sweet little German legend,
Just as my mother told it to me.
'Long years ago, when the great All-F Father,
Called into being this beautiful earth,
Two fair young angels looked out from Heaven
Int the darkness, silence and death.
No voice was there, no light, no gladness,
And as they rejoined the heavenly throng
They felt so sad that their voices grieved,
Even in singing their holy song.
From out the crowd of singing bright ones,
God.called these angels, SO wonderous fair,
Two shining wreaths that lay before Him
He babe them Irvine amid their hair
One was band of light and glory,
Heavy with lunches of golden sprays,
The other, a band of pearly beauty,
Bright with the simmer of silver rays.
"over the form of the golden angel,
God cast a mantle of gorgeous hue,
Ger the other, a trailing robe of sable,
Lined with silver, most fair to view.
He led them forth from the golden city,
And, bidding them look on the world below,
Said, To that new earth SO dark and lonely,
Sweet Day and Night, l would have you go.'
Day shall go first, and her burning lustre
Shall sweep the earth with golden beams,
Then return to Heaven, and peaceful night
Shall silently float DER the Ellis and streams.
so HE first Day came with her gladdening
power,
And lifted the cloud from the mountains brow,
Labored on till she weary grew,
And said, Sweet night it is your turn now
Then gathering round her, her robe of gold,
She rose to heaven as night came down.
They met half way, and their mingling robes
Caused the light that with us is as twilight
known.
So little Bertha you need not fear,
Nor angry feel with the gathering gloom,
lis only the beautiful angel of night
Who comes to earth as day goes home"

WHAT OUR CITY CONTEMPORARIES SAY
ABOUT 1.-THE Times puts the signing of
the great treaty at Washington among its
'Minor Topics" and does not like the mixing
up of British claims with our Alabama claims.
But they are not mixed up. The Alabama
claims &c to separate board. The Tribune
recognizes the treaty ''as one Of the most i'm
portant State papers Of the time, and thinks
that If ratified by the two Powers it will form
an epoch in their diplomatic history. The
World closes an exhaustive and exhausting
article on the subject thus Eff the treaty be
such as we suppose, by all means let the great
wound and all the lesser wounds be promptly
healed by It's ratification. The Commercial
Adoertiser says that If Senator Sumner has
the power and the will to interfere with this
ratification che will hang milestone around
his neck and sink to the depths of the sea of
oblivion and dshonor." The Eoening Post
shares Gin the hope that closer study" of the
treaty twill confirm the favorable impression
made by the general abstract which has been
given to the public" The Eoening Mail con-
denses whole volume into brief sentence
dn pronouncing the treaty "a great work well
DONE"

BY the elevation of General Sherman to the
Presidency 1t Is q pleasure to reflect that
lady will be called to preside at the White
House who will discharge the delicate duties
of the station with queenly grace, as well as
with true womanly dignity and suavity. 1t is
no disparagement to the excellent lady who
now occupies the position to say this.
The Hartford Times (democrat) thinks that
General Grant will have to suppress General
Sherman by enforcing the Ku Klux law on
him; otherwise he (sherman) will make an
other "march to the Capital.
The Albany Argus believes that Senator
Morton is playing false on General Grant-in-
stead of playing second fiddle to the Sultan he
wants to be the Sultan himself Morton had
better read the story in the "Arabian Nights,
wherein Ganem, subject of the Sultan Ben
Alraschid, with whose favorite Ganem is sup
posed to have been rather too familiar, re-
peatedly declares in effect, that ''the goods
of the Sultan should never be coveted by the
slave"
The Boston TraceNer revives the VOW Of
Benjamin F. Butler, uttered on the banks of
the James river during the late civil war, as
follows
When !, BENJAMIN f. Butler, shall, at any time or
under any circumstances, prove false to your chill
dren or to your race or fail to protect and defend to
the best OF my power and ability their rghts-yea
more, to promote their interest may God cause my
tongue to fail me by cleaving TO the root OF my
mouth, and may my right arm cease to serve me and
remain withered at my side
So far, we believe, General Butler has kept
his pledge. His speech to the colored people
in Boston the other night furnished evidence
Of this fact. But how long will Butler keep in
that way of thinking if the Southern negroes
vote en- masse the democratic ticket, headed by
''Mas'r Sherman"
The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution thinks that
General Sherman's Ku Klux speech is 'pretty
conclusive testimony against the radical
clamor about the Ku Kluxes."
Some of the republican papers, in the midst
Of their tremor about General Sherman, aver
that he does not want to be President that he
has 'sbetter thing" already. The same was
said of General Grant, and the same was said
by Horatio Seymour, but the 'Pity me-
Harvey" appeal we do not believe will be
urged in the case of General Sherman.
The Chicago Democrat speaks Of Sherman's
Ku Klux three hundred FOUNDER as centre
shot at radicalism generally, and a rather
blunt, soldier-like rebuke Of his old companion
in arms, Grant.
