Is THE WAR ENDED?-A Radical editor
in Mississippi propounded the following
query to W. H. McArdle, the well known
editor of the Vicksburg Herald:
"Has the war ended2 II SO, why do
you still thirst for further bloodshed?"
To this. McArdle replies:
eve are by no means sure that the
war has 'endedv When the Confederate
armies surrendered their arms, in 1865.
we thought old 'grim-visagcd' had
'smoothed his wrinkled front, and that
white winged peace would smile over all
the line. When those shoulder strapped
ruflians, Ord, Pope. Sheridan, Meade
and Sickles. ruled the South with the
bayonet, and arrested and tried peaceful
citizens by military commission, we
thought it just possible that We were
mistaken perhaps. the enemy was
still firing along a portion of the line.
When that wretched caitiff, General
Ord, imprisoned the writer, in cell six
feet by four, because he denounced him
for what he acas and is-a brutal and
cowardly rnf1ian'-we felt quite sure that
The war was not ended We did not
then, nor do we now, thirst for further
bloodshed, but if the thieves in the

land, In regard to Ireland admonishea
me OF the Importance OF removing all
grievances. THE union between Eng
land and Ireland has never been cordial;
the Irish people have always supposed
they were hardly dealt with by the
British Government. and after long ex-
perienoe Of the inefficienoy OF repres-
sive policy in regard to Ireland, the
British Government has become satisfied
of the necessity of policy OF concilia.
ton. My idea is to profit by the expe-
rience Of Great Britain in regard to
Ireland, and enter upon policy of con-
ciliation and harmony at once Let us
exhaust conciliation. If that fails, then
other means will remain to us; but let us
exhaust conciliation first.
While amnesty will tend to produce q
good feeling South in regard to the
Federal Government, it will also tend to
accomplish another most desirable re-
sult-it will tend to greater harmony
between the two races South. No one
can be more kindly disposed to our
co!ored population than am; no one
more ardently desires their prosperity,
their happiness and advancement. I am
deeply impressed with the conviction
that their happiness largely depends
upon the harmony between them and the
whites among whom they live. AS a
sincere friend to our colored citizens, I
earnestly desire to see entire harmony
between the two races.
One strong reason. then, with me for
favoring amnesty is TINT 1 think it will
have good effect on the relations of the
two races South. BY the operation of
the fourteenth amendment, n portion of
the whites South Zone of the most intel
ligent PORTIONS is disqualified to hold
Office, while the colored citizens are oil
free from such disqualification. Thus,
practically, at tho South, tue colored
people appear to be moro favored by our
legislation than the whites. This, Of
course, produces dissatisfaction, and
tends to the alienation Of the two races.
As friend to the colored race, then, I
wish to see the whites allowed every
right the colored race enjoys, and this
cannot be without amnesty. [ know
this amnesty will be hailed with pleasure
by the colored race. Their generous
and forgiving natures cause them to wish
to see the whites rs FREQ as themselves;
and, rs I have been an earnest advocate
for tho colored man to enjoy every right
before the law. 80 equally desire. now,
to see the whites enfrancbised. **
In conclusion, Mr.. President, I am
satisfied that the passage of this amnesty
bill will do more to restore peace and
harmony in the South than any coercive
law that can be passed at this session of
Congress. Therefore, most respect
fully and earnestly recommend the pas
sage of this bill.

The Petroleum Regions Their Present
Condition.

The Titusville Herald sums up the
condition of the petroleum region at
the end of March. The production of
oil during the month of March shows
an average daily decline for the month
of nearly 900 barrels, or 49, ,531 barrels
per day against l4,38l in the month
preceding, and total yield for March
of 419,468 barrels. With a few excep-
tions there was a steady decline in the
production of nearly every tract in the
region, which though not large in any
single locality, aggregated the amount
mentioned throughout the producing.
districts. The largest increase for the
month occurred in the vicinity Of Pit
hole, and at this point did not exceed
20 barrels per day. In the vicinity of
Rouseville several farms show q slight
increase, but this was counteracted by
the falling off on other tracts in that vi
cinity, which was greater in the aggre-
gate than the increase. A large num-
Der of farms show no change in the pro
duction, while others vary so little as
not to require mention.
At Parker's Landing the number Of
drilling wells increased considerably
during the. month, and developments
are progressing in Westerly and South
westerly direction, while the completion
of several good paying wells in the vi
cinity of Bear Creek has kept up the
production in this district, and shows
the limits of this territory are far from
being defined as yet. and from the de-
velopments in progress, there is reason
to believe that this will be one of the
most important oil fields for months to
come, and the production in all proba-
bility maintained at its present figures
throughout the coming summer.
The shipments of petroleum by rail
and river, during March, exceeded those
of February by about forty-one thousand
barrels. Following is a recapitulation
of the shipments:

CURIosITIEs OF CoLoR.-An English
magazine writer, writing of colors and
their durability in reference to dress,
gives some interesting particulars of the
infinite diversity of shades. Although
1000 different shades of color can be
dyed at present, this number gives but
a faint idea of the effects that might be
produced by a continually varying ad-
mixture of one hue with another. Sax
blue counts from 20 to "a shades pro-
duced by manufacturers in printed cot
tons, linen, and silks, and still greater
variety could be furnished if demanded.
In royal blue, there are this season from
"a to % varieties in the light middle
shades. Scarlet has from 80 to 40
shades; crimson, the same number.
Yellow has from 40 to so shades. The
writer adds: "Scarlet, so rarely seen
in ladies' dresses, may be termed the
emperor of colors, and is very beautiful
in its light middle, and rich and daz-
zling in its middle shades, and in GER
tain combinations looks elegant in con-
nection with a silver-gray or an olive"

Daughters.

An intelligent writer says: at is
not possible to over-estimate the advan-
tages which would result from men in
trades and professions allowing their
daughters some participation in the
work of. their daily lives. What girls
want is larger observation Of the
world, and deeper knowledge Of hu-
man nature. There are few Of our
merchants and manufacturers and pro.
fessional men who could not largely
avail themselves of the services of their
educated and competent daughters
and if such services could be rendered
generally available, it is not much to
say that wider and more fertile social
life would arise from mankind. Mems
occupations would in no sense be preju-
diced whilst women would at once find
that outlet for their faculties for which
so many have been so long striving. A
certain responsibility would increase
their self.reliance. A capacity for
earning would remove their sense Of
dependence. A definite occupation
would bring both health and cheerful
ness; and the larger experiences Of life
would give force and completeness to
their mental character.

touching remarks on human frailty,
and of dependence on God, urging ali
present to make their peace with their

the eternal God shall be thy refuge,

gazing intently on the coffined form be-
fore him, he then said reVerently,

aged; but never till gray hairs covered
my own head; did | know truly how
much love and sympathy this class have
a right toademand of their fellow crea-A
lures. Now | feel it. Our mother" he
added most tenderly, ".who now lies. in
death before us, was stranger to me,
as are all of these her descendants. All
| know of her is what her son has told
me to-day-that she was brought to this
town from afar, sixty-nine years ago, a
happy bride-that here she has passed
most of her hfe,g gtoiling, as only mothers
ever have strength to toll, until she had
reared large family of sons and
~daug ughters-that she left her home here
clad in the weeds of widowhood, to
dwell among her children and that till
health and strength left her. God for
bid that conscience should accuse any
of. you Of ingratitude or murmuring on
account Of the care she had been to you
Of late.
"When you go back to your homes,
be careful of your example before your
own children for the fruit of your own
doing you will surely reap from them
when you yourselves totter on the brink
OF the grave. Ientreat you as a friend,
as one who has himself entered the
evening Of life, that you may never say
in the presence of your families nor of
heaven: Our mother had out-lived
her usefulness-she was burden to
US Never, never; mother cannot
live SO long as that No; when she
can no longer labor for her children,
nor yet care for herself, she can fall
like a precious weight on their bosoms,
and call forth by her helplessness all
the noble, generous feelings Of their
natures"
Adieu, then, poor toil-worn mother;
there are no more days of pain for thee.
Undying vigor and everlasting useful
ness are part of the inheritance of the
redeemed.

A Good Wife.

The following sentences from Arch
bishop Seekers Wedding Ring, are
worth reading twice: = 'pN arE
Hast thou a soft heart? It's of Gods
breaking. Hast thou a sweet, wife 4?
She is of Gods making. The Hebrews
have saying, lie is not man who
hath not q woman Though man
alone may be good, yet it is not good
that man. should be alone. g Every
good gift and every perfect gift is from
above" A wife, though she be not
perfect gift, is good gift, a beam darted
from the sun Of mercy. How happy are
those marriages where Christ is at the
wedding. Let none but those who have
found favor in Gods eyes find favor in
yours. Husbands should spread man
tie of charity over their wives infrmi-
ties. /. Do not put out the candle because
of the snuff. Husbands and wives
should provoke one another to love;
and they should love one another not
provocations. The tree of
love should grow up in the midst of the
family as the tree of life grew ia the gar
den of Eden. Good servants are great
blessing /; good children a greater bless
ing; but good wife is the greatest
blessing; and such help let him seek
for that lacks one let him sigh that
has lost one let him delight in that en-
Joys one.
