the recital of this terrible disaster? Are we
placidlv to warm our hands by the blazing EN-
beers of our neighbours house9 Forbid it, gen
erosity! Forbid it, civilization! We helped
the Hamburgers in the extremity TO which they
were reduced through fire. We Succorcd the
Pcrotes when the Christian quarter of Constan-
tinople was laid in ashes. We relieved the
SmyrniotcS under similar circumstances. We
helped to feed starving Paris; and even now the
guineas of gallant English officers and gentle
men are being contributed to assist in rebuild
ing the burnt-out palace of the legion of honor.
In affording such aid ont of our great album
dance, we simply did our duty as MS n civ lZcd
and Christian people; and we should be cast
ing foul scorn upon Christianity and civilization
if at this moment we withheld cordial help from
the suffering people in the state of Illinois.
When we were at agony point in ireland and in
Lancashire the American people sent us corn
and meat by the ship load. The relief TO our
brethren on Lake Michigan should take prac
tlcally generous form, and 1t should be lmmc-
diate. In one word, we will venture to point out
the means by which the kindiest and most use
full aid may be afforded to Chicago. What is
most urgently needed 10y the hundred thousand
destitute men, women and children is, no doubt
clothing. Money will come pouring in from every
part of the Union, and likewise, VIC trust, from
Canada and Nova Scotia. Of meat and bread
stutls there will also be abundant supplies
Still the burnt out opc viii be sure to want
clothcs and wearing apparel in the United
States is frightfully dear. Wemust have by us
an amazing stock of ready-made garments and
wooden fabrics, and with good round sum in
hand, steamship might be chartered for New
York, la leu from hold to deck with clothes,
blankets boots and shoes, and ieecy hosiery.
Money subscriptions towards the rebuilding of
Chicago may be left to our friends across the
Atlantic. Let us remember that when people
escape from fire, it is too often in their shifts
and night-drcsscs, without hcadgear or shoes or
stockings. There must be thousands at this
moment on the Michigan bank with nothing in
the world but the sCantest Of raiment; and is
our clear and bouuden duty TO cOthe the naked
as well as to feed the hungry. Nor can there be
any doubt, that in such an emergency the gov
of the United States woald waive its
customs tariff, and would allow the cargoes for
Chicago to pass from New York to the burnt
city-there is direct railway communication be-
tween the two-dutv free. A swift steamer
laden witt warm clothing and body lnen for
both sexes and for all ages, would be the imme-
diate testimony of our recognition that blood is
thicker than water and that, when Americans
are in distress, We have not forgotten our COM
mon parentage."

There is only one territory of any size, and
never has been but one, occupied by any consid-

and has existed for centuries. As far back as
history reaches, to all females it has been for

mainland. Here in the midst of cultivated

ty-three converts, and numbering more than
seven thousand souls, and not one of the mo-
nasteries dates from a later time than the
twelfth century. few soldiers guard the

question, ''What sort of human creatures are
womenY The very idea of woman, whether as
mother, wife or sister, is almost lost. To all
woman-haters; to bachelors Of over forty years

wiles and ways Of the opposite sex, this region
can be safely recommended as a haven of
refuge.

writer for the November number of Lippin-
cotts Magazine says:
Many years ago made my first visit to Wash
in1ton's headquarters at old Tappan town, about
half a mile from the "Seventy-SX house." The
ancient edifce was more than hundred and
twenty years old, and, although built of stone,
seemed almost lettering to is fall. II had had
four roofs, one on the top of the other, and from
the first lower layer of cedar shingles | selected
powdering specimens which pulled out easily,
and have them now among my revolutionary
relics.
entered with my friend, whose guest / was
at the time, and who was resident of the i'm
mediate neighborhood. We were received cour-
teOuSly by its then occupants, two elderly ladies,
who were born in the house.
Nothing could be in more perfect keeping
with the mansion than these two venerable
women. Their name was Yer Bruyok, and |
was the more interested in them because | had
recently become acquainted in New York with
a relative Of theirs of the same name, promis
ing young painter, who was fast increasing his
reputation as a very natural artist and keen
observer of the picturesque. One Of his most
admired sketches, | soon saw, was a most life
like picture of this same old house.
One of the two ladies was over eighty years
old, and her sister was seyenty-tive. They were
very lively for persons so aged, and were
obligingly communicative.
"Did you ever see General WashingtOnP |
inquired of the oldest old lady.
"Oh, yeS-many and many a time" she an
swered, Tin this very room. He often used to
hold me in his lap. remember it just as well
as if it was but yesterday; he was lovely man,
General Washington was. And herr" she con-
tinued, going to and opening wide cupboard,
che used to keep his things These blue and
white clancy cups and SaSsers he used to drink
out of; and here's the very bowl he used to
make his wine sangaree into; and they used TO
pass it round from one officer to another when
they'd come to see him; and they helped them
selves. He seen a good deal Of company, Gen
cral Washington did"
"Did you ever see Major Andrc?" l asked.
"Oh, yes-mOre'n fifty times. He was beau
tiiul man. He kissed me twice / was little
girl then. | seen him the very morning they
took him on the top of the hill to hang him. The
day before, in the morning, took him up some
handsome ripe peaches. He thanked me so
kind, and broke one Of them open and put it
into his mouth, and tasted of it, but some
how or mother he did't seem to have no appe-
tite''
| asked how General Washington seemed to
feel on that occasion.
ooh, he must have felt dreadful He walked
richards and for'ards all the morning in this
very room; and I've hear'n Pop Blauvclt say
that he never saw him feel so bad afore He
kept looking at his watch every now and then
and was Uneasy till the time had come, and Ma
lor Andre was hung. | seen Major Andre my
self, when he was swinging in the air; and
seen him when he was dug up and took away;

FRIDAY. OCTOBER "a, 1871.

Some OF those who maintained so promptly
that the recaptured schooner i. A. Horton must
be delivered up to the British authorities, are
becoming more intelligent in regard to the mat
ter One ofthem suggests that our government
could not in any way be responsible for the do
ings Of half dozen burglars who should 20
from New or Boston TO some port in the prov
inces and rob a custom house; and that it can
not be regarded as burglary or robbery for
man to take his own property, wherever he may
find it deserted. And another remembers the
case Of the British ship Emily st. Pierre, which
was captured in the act OF attempting TO run the
blockade of Charleston, and violently recapiur-
ed by her crew while on the way 10 Philadelphia
in charge of an American naval officer. The
rescucrs took her to Liverpool; and when our
government asked 10 have her restored, this was
refused on the ground that the British govern
ment had no responsibility for what had been
done. and could not legally take the vessel from
her owners. Our government acquicsced, and
the case has not been mentioned since in the cor
respondcnce between our government and that
ofGrcat Britain. Can il be reasonably supposed
that our government will do, in the case of Hor-
ton, what was held 10 he lnadmlsslole IN the
case of the Emily st. Pierre?
1t follows, according to the improved views of
the case, in the changed opinion of these critics.
that "our government has no legal authority
over the Horton that she is not in its custody,
and that there Is no ground for legal proceed
ings against her" OF course, it was very irreg-
ular to plan and carry out recapture OF the
and her owners may be subjected TO
some inconvenience, before she is furnished with
new papers. But we think there will be no
question Of restoring the vessel to the Canadian
Moreover, the Horton had commit |
