A Boston woman, who had long been
given up for dead by all who were dear to
her, lately appeared, the ghost Of her

never to see her again. She told story
of strange and horrible suffering More
than score Of years ago she had sailed, a
young girl of is. with her missionary hus-
band for "Indias coral strand" The YES
sci was wrecked ON the Arabian coast and
alton board perished save her husband
and herself. He was preserved only to
fall a. victim to Arab cruelty, and she to
Arab slavery. While her beauty lasted
she was the favorite wife of the most pow
crful chief in the. South Arabian desert,
but when that waned. she fell from her
"bad cminencc and was transferred to
the harem of.an inferior sheik And 50
she lived, prayed for death, but not during
to die, till, banded from one barbarian TO
another she, a Boston lady in whose veins
flowed the purcst Puritan blood, found
herself the wife of an Arabian wlter-car-
rier. From his power an American trav-
eller freed her and provided her with the
means to reach home.

We have heard within the past week or
more a. great deal Of foolish twaddle about
Treasurer Parker running away from the
State. First it was heralded all about that
he had run away to New York to escape
arrest for. fraud and corruption in the man
agement of the State finances. A short
time elapsed, and he was again seenin Co.
lumbia as free as.any man. He took a
short trip to Charleston, on business, last
week, and forthwith the croakers again be-
gan to howl about Parker. running away
to escape arrest. he came back in day
or two and signifed his intention to go to
New York on business connected with his
official duty. Now the cssmor' is raised
again thatf Parker has run away" There
is one thing which. these constitutional
fault-fnders shsaa ever bear in mind,
and that is, that Treasurer Parker can go
when he pleases, where he pleases, and as
he pleases, and there is no power that can
stop him. except in legal manner, tBut
if there are any persons in Columbia, or
elsewhere, who harbor the thought that
Parker intends to run. away, they might
as well Danish that thought at once. He
will stay in Columbia without fear of ar
rest for any of the misdeeds charged against
him. That he should want to'get away
from the constant press upon him, is very
natural; but he does not go away from.
fear, or to escape the results of his own
acts, official or otherwise. Members Of the
Legislature may talk as much as they
please about the State Treasurer : but if
they had needed our oft=repeated suggcs-
tions to make short session, and not
squander, as they did, thousands upon
thousands, of dollars in useless extrava-
gance, we should have very different
state of affairs to-day These men may
talk to their hearts content, they cannot
escape the responsibility for their action
here last session The people are not to
be fooled any longer by this cry against
the State Treasurer. There were scores of
employees here at the Legislature last
winter VINO, after working all winter, found
at the end of the session that some one
else had taken care Of their pay certificates
for them. In other words, there were
members Of. the Legislature here at the
last session, who secured the appointment
of attaches, and then doubtless pocketed
their pay certificates. The people all over
the State must see to it that a better class
of men are sent to the General Assembly
next time, or the Republican party may
Just as we'll surrender its hold upon the
popular heart. There were good men in
the last General Assembly-mcn whom
we hope to see reelected, but they were
the exception and not the rule. 1t is no
use to try to throw the responsibility upon
the State officers, for if the Legislature
had done as it ought, the State TO day
would be hundreds of thousands Of dol

Somewhat Alarmed.

The Washington letters and kilograms
syeak of the decided effect wrought upon
The administration and its friends by the
late Nem York Liberal demonstration. 1t
was one which took all parties by surprise.
1t gave as much satisfaction to the pow
erful party opposed to the administration
as it gave of pain to the administration
and its friends. We copy below a tele-
gram to the Baltimore Sun, which is OF
the general tenor Of the Washington dis
patches on this subject
WASHINGTON, April II.
The significance of the New York de-
monstration OF Friday evening against
the reelection Of President Grant is sup
ported by such formidable and eminent
array Of Republicans that astonishment is
excited instead of ridiculc in Administra-
ton quarters. Some Of the most san
ruine friends of The Cincinnati Conven-
ton hardly expected that three or four
hundred of the men foremost in the Re-
publican ranks OF the State of New York
would be found to be officers of the first
mass meeting of the Presidential cam
pairn in the Liberal movement; but such
is the fact. With one or two exceptions,
all the wealthy Republicans in New York
City who subscribed literally four years
ago for the election of Grant are now op..
posed to him, and they arc determined
that nothing shall be left undone to carry
the Stales of New York and Pennsylva-
MIA against him.

From the Terre Haute (Ind.) Gazette
John D. Dehees, 50 well andso favOra
bly, known in this State, and whose polit
|. .ical influence as Republican has beer
acknowledged throughout the whole coun
try since there was a Republican party
an old-line Wing, an original Republican
and one of the most far-seeirg and saga
cious politicians in the GoverIment-in 6
communication to the Indianapolis Senti
mel of this morning takes occasion to ust
the following language:
"I am in favor of the election to the
Presidency of one who is and has been 9
Republican from the formation of the
party, and who has brains and intelligence
enough to be SO from conviction, and not
as matter of convenience
"My opposition to GeneraI1rant is not
of recent date 1 was opposed to.his nom
lnation in 1868. I did not thsn join in
the cry, that it was party necessity to
take him so as to prevent his nomination
by the Democratic party Tdid not wish
totlace the great Republican party in
the humiliating position dominating a
man of acknowledged unftasss, who had
never given Republican rsse, and only
to prcventh his going with tip Democracy,
.for.whose candidate (Nlr. Buchanan) he
had cast the only vote hehd ever. given
for President.
at is true that 1 shall attend the Re-
publican Convention to be held at Cincin-
natl, and.render the little adm my pow
eE to make selection froalthe names of
the many distinguished Republicans who
will be placed before it forts choice.
"of course, l do not know who will be
selected for President and Wce-P President,
but I am certain they wilIpe gentlemen
whose habits, virtues, ability; and inteli-
gence will do honor to the positions they
will be called upon to occupy
"Those who are disposeddo sneer at the
reform. movement of the Liberal Republl-
cans will do well to look as1ittle into the
history of the past, and to- remember that
like causes produce like efests.
"In 1886 Mr.. Van Bursau was elected
by an overwhelming majority He used
the patronage of the Government to Sc
cure his nomination for reelection.
Extravaganza, corruption, and pecu-
lation in office were rife in The land
ain 1s4O the banner d tretrenchment
and reform was raised. The people ral-
lied to it, and bore it aloftsahd to glorious
victory. ~.
Extravaganza, corruptlpR, and pecu-
lation in office not only exist to-day, but
to far greater extent. They pervade
the National, the State, and city govern
nfents.
"The Liberal Republican G. Convention,
to Leheld at Cincinnati ifraiae again the
same banner of 'retrenctment and re-
forln,' and thcpccple,H!ll saaa rally to its
support, and the same result will surely
follow
"If the adherents of General Grant are
disposed to disregard the Cincinnati nom
nations, and to nominate him at Phlla-
delphia, they. do it at the peril of most
humillating defeat at the polls.

The Washington Patriot publishes the
following letter from lady residing in
South Carolina:
Our political state becomes worse and
worse. Our Governor is robber. Our
Legislature is made up of negroes who
can't sign their names, and adventures
who had to leave homo for fear of the
pepitentiary. They steal openly. They
make laws to hedge themselves round
from justice. The iails are filled to over
flowing with the innocent; while murder
ers, house-burners and hardened thieves
go about in open daylight unpunished,
The taxes are doubledand trebled to keep
up the state of thievish officials and their
negro mistresses To own property is a
curse To be- negro is a blessing but
to be negro, rascal, is the etgreatest of all
blessings. To be white and honest, is the
sure, road to-ruin and despair. What a
fanciful satire to call this free Govern:
ment, and the present a state of pro-
found peace!~

but the pastor was not there to perform
the last sad rites over the body of his de-
parted friend The ceremonies, however,
were performed by another, and afterward,
when the will was opened, it appeared
that the old man had been faithful in death
as he was in life, and bequeathed $1,000
to his old friend, provided he preached his
funeral sermon. His feelings can better
be imagined than described, we suppose.

Touching.

:. A mother, q few days since, found lost
daughter in New York, under circumstan-
ces showing that the girl had fallen to the
lowest depths Of vice, though all the good
was not crushed out for she was deeply
affected on meeting her mother The po-
flee officer who. was present at the meet
ing of the two, kindly expressed sorrow
for the mothers tears, that fell in show
or, and attempted to console her. oh,
sir said the mother, these are not tears
of sorrow; they are tears of joy al again
seeing my darling child. She is my own,
with all her faults Could anything be
more touching than that forgiveness Of
mother, who could weep for joy at
finding her child, who, in every sense,
seemed lost. There is lesson for fathers
who discard daughters and sons on slight
provocation; that lesson teaches that a
parent never should repel a child, degraded
as that child may have been. Forgive,
forgive, forgive, as you hope to be forgiven.

at Newton, ard tossed a card upon
the counter. ,aying he represented
hat establi. hment. The tradesman
picked it up, gave it a steady look,
and said it was a fine establishment,
and was then informed by the clerk
that he had represented it about three
years; w~hereupOn the tradesman re-
marked TO the youth that he supposed
he would soon be a partner. The
youth said he would be pleased to sell
him some oil. and that his establish
ment handl. q more oil than any other
in Des MOines. The tradesman took
another look at the card, aud asked the
boy if he wasn't mistaken. He blush
ingly guessed he was, as he returned
his girls picture 10 his pocket.
