a Portuguese woman that she was altogether
gifted with splendid virtues, and was the inno-
cent victim of the strategy of her parents, and
was, of course, as much entitled to the rights of
free woman as any one who walks Fourth
street to-day. Her fathers and mothers sud
den death was the cause of all her woes; even
her ostensble owner was ignorant of her true
history. How terribly, in this instance, were
the sins of the parents visited upon the child !
Poor. heart-broken woman! A little grave
in the Western Cemetery Of this city has set
upon her lips the seal of everlasting silence,
and it is meet, now that time which sooner or
later works its revenges and grants that
Justice which was withheld, that the true story
of her life should be written-that the cloud
which cnshrouded her fair name should be
swept aside-and that her son, if he is living
| to-day, may rest no longer under the false i'm
putation Of having been born a slave.
Soon after the death of Philip Slaughter bis
relatives sent the boy referred to above to
| Hawcsville in this State, to be raised by man
named Luckett, or Lucky, under an assumed
name, and since that time nothing has been
known of his fate, unless to the relatives of Mr.
Slaughter, several of whom are still living.

A Card from Miss Harriet G.. HOsme

Card from Miss Harriet G.. Hosmer.
To The Editor of the Tribune:
SIR: have been trying to procure a copy OF
the Tribune which contains an article upon
Miss Winnie Ream, but have been unsuccess
iul. L am, however, aware of the nature oil
that article by extracts which l have seen in
other papers, and l can not remain silent while
such an attack is made upon any woman OF
her works
The style of attack, however, has not the
merit of novelty Or originality. Miss Ream is
accused of not doing her own work; but the
world has been frequently told that few women
do their own work. | am remarkably familiar
with that form of accusation, having heard it of
myself for years; but when, upon one occasion,
1T appeared in print, / invited the author of the
article, through my lawyer, to prove the truth
Of his assertion or apologize, he apologized,
and my impression is that if Miss Ream were
to face her accuser, he would disappear in the
same manner. We are told that while her self
sacrificing and assiduous workmen were busy
modelling her statue, Miss Ream fitted about
Rome receiving the attentions of cardinals and
other dignitaries. Now, those who are ia.
milar with life in Rome know very well that it
is not the practice of cardinals to fit about with
young ladies and l am in position to know
that Miss Ream's acquaintance with Roman
prelates was limited to that of Cardinal An
tonelli, to whom she brought letter from our
former Minister. Mr.. Stockton.
| knew Miss Ream personally when in Rome,
and lift up my voice in her defense. | believe
her to be contentious and hard working
artist, and as much entitled to the credit of her
work as any artist know All artists expect
to be criticised, but we women artists will not
hear that We are imposters without asking for
proofs. Our brother sculptors do not hesitate
a hat IN ot,,di
than is strictly legitimate. We recommend
them to state who those vague and mysterious
beings are who assist us in our labors. We,
ourselves, invite them to come forth. We wish
TO see them. Furthermore, we wish the world
to see them. We feel that public curiosity
ought to be excited regarding individuals Of
whom one has heard so much and seen so little !;
but, until these individuals are forthcoming, we
resent all such accusations as unjust, ungen-
erous, and contemplate.
Very truly yours, ii. G. HosNER

The Pacific coast is wonderfully rich in tho
fOssllZed remains of the antediuvian era
Within two months, says San Francisco cor
respondent, discoveries have been made which
ia any other country, would furnish material for
endless discussion. What was evidently an
immense monster lies on a high plateau
about one hundred miles southeast of Hamilton
Nevada, and from the position il is supposed
that the locality was once n great shoal, and
that the leyiathan persisted on its surface as
the water recedcd. The petrifcation is perfect
and Is estimated to way about ten tons. 1t has
the head and body of humpbacked whale,
while the extremties extend into feelers and
attenne, like the polypus or devil-fsh, with the
exception that they were evidently lined, du-
ring life, with hard and bony substance. The
head is fat and oblong, with eyes set on each
side, twenty four inches apart. The mouth is
armed with triple rows of teeth, sharp in front
but underneath and well into the jaws they turn
into grinders, capped by a solid osseous forma
ton. The length not determined.
At the present time there is on exhibition in
San Francisco the tusk and some teeth of an an
tciiluvian animal whose magnitude must have
dwarfed into littleness the most monstrous
mastodon or magatherium of which we have
any account-a beast so large as almost to de
fy the power OF imagination to conjure up before
the minds eyes an image so vast. The remains
were discovered very recently in formation of
cement and lava near Stockton California
One of the teeth weighs 81 pounds, and the
tusk to which it belonged must have been sew
eral hundred feet long and weighed hundreds of
tons. These mammoth bones will shortly leave
Tor the East and Europe, and are certain to
create sensation wherever seen. A short time
since the petrifed claw of an immense lobster
or crawfish, measuring foot and half in
length, was found in drift in a Mount Diablo
gravel bed, 500 feet above the level

We copy the following from the Harmon
ton New Jersey Republican
One Of the greatest drawbacks to the exten.
sive cultivation of cotton in the Southern States
since the war has been, and now is, the search
ty of competent help. AS much or more cotton
is now planted than before the war, but by
reason of the scarcity of hands a large portion
remained unpicked yearly and was lost Tn
less the cotton is picked within forty light hours
after it blows its value is greatly lessened and
in many instances rendered comparatively
worthless. If this difficulty were overcome
there would be no lack of cotton planters in
every State. In the January "A gricultural Re
port it is stated that in some counties the cot
ton crop remains in the field and will remain
there, owing to the indisposition of the laborers
to gather it. In one county in Texas the crop
last year was the best known for ten years yet
twenty per cent remains unpicked, most OF
which will be lost.
From latest reports the annual yield Of cot
ton in the United States is about 5000, 00O
bales. "A bale averages four hundred pounds,
which gives 2, 400 900, 900 pounds as the annual
yield. 1t is estimated that twenty per cent. of
this or $50 OOO, 900 pounds, is lost, which, value
it at ten cents per pound (which is below the
real value), is worth S4,SOO,O0O. This amount
would de saved yearly if the whole crop was
Yankee has not before this las he has done in
other instances) placed in the field machine
to take the place of cotton pickers. But as
yet none have done so. Mr.. Samuel Plat, OF
this town, had his attention called to this great
want several months ago, and at once began to
work out the problem. The sesult of several
months study is the machine which he is conf
dent will meet every requirement.
With it four hands, with a team, will pick two
rows of cotton as horse usually walks, doing
the work of eight or twelve hands, according to
the experiences of the operatives, and gathers
the cotton in better condition than is done by
hand. 1t is very simple in its construction
can be worked by boys, and the cost is trihing
compared with the great benefits which will
accrue. We are not now permitted to give a
description of the machine, but shall do so as soon
as practicable. This is not the first of Mr.. Patt's
Inventions. Another invention of his now an
nually yields the manufacturers several hun
dred thousand dollars, but from which he does
not receive a cent 1t seems as if inventors are
born to be victims of sharpers. We hope,
however, that Mr.. Plat will reap the reward
of his last great invention, and that honor may
be done to whom it is due.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use win prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive Free from those
deleterlous substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it, If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
iustre, and grateful perfume.

MOTHER SHANNON.
By J. Z. RANKIN, D. D.

In the ears of Mother Shannon
Sullen roar the Fed raj cannon;
Butler bold and Farragut
Have the fortress Gordon cut;
This is what the tumult means,
Yankees rule in New Orleans
Miles away st. Michaers stands,
Growing the adjoining lands;
In the conflict take no part
Sisters Of the Sacred Heart
Bead and bell, penance and prayer,
Still retain their routine there.
But, one day, without the gates,
Anxiously courier waits.
Mother shannon, could she take,
For pure love and jesus sake,
Thirty orphans, stripped of all.
Driven forth from burning hall p?
Then her face turns deathly white,
And she speaks their serious plight:
4" We are on allowance placed,
Ounce by ounce our food we taste.
Yankee Butler, with his crew,
Hold the town; what can | do -
" But, they comet" The messenger,
Seeing that she did not stir,
Urges thus his suit again.
Straightway took she down pen,
Fearing more those starving ones
Than the frown of Fed raj guns.
have orphans and no bread!'
This was all Mere Shannon said.
But she slipped draft within,
Bread to buy, if not win.
Then she threw the gateway wide,
Welcoming the orphan tide!
All agrin, with hat in hand,
Stood the waiting contraband,
While bold Butler read the note
That Mere Shannon trembling wrote.
Then he said, with grimness trimming,
War for men, not girls and women
Quicker than IL can he told,
Back the draft went, scrip or gold
And ere night loaded train
Crossed the intervening plain,
At the convent gateway stood,
To relieve Mere Shannon's brood.
When you make the mixture up
To go in Ben Buffers cup,
Call him Beast, or what You will,
This ID have you think of still
How this man, with Fed raj cannon,
Sent bread trains to Mother Shannon.
