SABBATH MORN.

when usbered ia on piers Of light in orenv the day
A soffer sunlight crowns the hills in the deep hush
of Sabbath morn;
The faithful pillow fOrgets TO work, the loud
voiced loom at length is still
And on the rivers messy brink in silence stands
the weary min.
The shouting winds are sober now, the brook sends
forth softer chime,
And on the heavy sands Of life more Slowly Toll the
wheels Of Time;
Upon the dewv air serene fall lower cummings Of
the bee,
Aud in nalf.hushed madrigal float file tird-war-
bier from the tree.
And mingled with these pastoral sounds comes the
0sep voice Of sweet church bel,
As drifts us echoes up the hill and through the wild
romantic dell;
The well worn church paths now are trOd 10y Fight
and rev. rent feet of all,
And pensive groups are pouring forth from the low
cot and iyied hail
To where the chapel in the grove upfts its slender
splre Of white,
/ Ike snowy finger pointing mp 70 shining courts Of
starry light
The aged PASTORS holy words hOW sOOtle, subdue
the spirit strife,
And yearniug souls swift plume their. wings and
soar beyond the clouds Of life.
beacon light 10 guard my barque across LIES
troubled, drowning sea,

Oh, God when of this dropping brow is laid life's
weary weight Of thorn
] pray my spil3t may find rest ia Thy eternal Sab

by Butler in his cOntraband ventures, ON
the eleventh of November following, was
chartered to the government in Griffin )
name, not for $50 day-the price for which
Hunnewell offered her-but for $500 day.
She was finally lost, and the government
paid $45, 600 for her, Griffin and Butler get
ting in all for her, including the charter,
$llI,000.
William h. Wiegal, the first witness
called, testified: reside at Albany; I was
on General Buffers staff at New Orleans in
1923 as first lieutenant and abide camp; /
was with him in his office, and resided with
him at the Twiggs mansion; knew Andrew
jackson Butler; / recOllect hearing con-
versatiOn between Andrew jackson Butler
ard General B. F. Butler in the Office of the
General at the Customhouse, which was his
headquarters; there were present General
Butler, his brother Andrew Jackson But
Ter, Captain Haggerty and myself; General
Buffers brother came into the office, drew
his chair alongside the table where the Gen
eral was sitting and commenced converse
ton with him in reference to the steamer
Nassau; he stated that she was just such
a vessel as he ANDREW jackson
Butlerl needed to bring his cot
ton and sugar down, and that he must
have her; there was some more talk between
them; Captain Haggarty got up and left the
office; l was busy with some papers; he said
that he would like to have the vessel, and
must have her, and if there was no other
way to get her, she must be seized; at which
/ got up and left the Office; they remained
in conversation quarter or half an hour
afterwards
QuestiOn-Why did you leave! Answer
The instructions of the Major General were
that if his brother came in Tor consultation
the aides-de-camp must leave; that was the
reason left; would have left before had /
not been busy with some papers.
The district attorney desired to defer the
crOss-examinatiOn of the witnesses in order
to get some papers that he desired in such
eXamina ton.
The testimony Of Charles W. Cammack,
now paying teller of the Bank of Louisiana
and in 1862 paying teller of the Citizens
Bank of Louisiana, was now read. He
gave evidence as to General Buffers &C.
counts with the bank, and of his having
given a check payable to George Hunnewe1
at the bank for $3l 800.
Alfred Da COsta's evidence, also taken
by commission, was next read. He was
in the. employ of 5. p. Griffin in 1862, at
New Orleans, and states the transactions
between Andrew jackson Boiler and Grit
fin of a business character in connection
with the steamer Nassau. He recognized
Griffin as the owner of the steamer, but
did not know whether the latter acquired
ownership from General B. F. Butler, as
he was owner before witness entered his
employment.

An Admission.

This is a special TO the St. Louis RepuJ-
GcuR:
New YORK, June l2-The Post tonight
admits that the various Democratic State
conventions this week point to ratifca-
ton of the Cincinnati ticket at Baltimore.
1t says if 10y supporting Mr.. Greeley they
can gain a few thousand votes in each
State, they can elect officers in such States
as Pennsylvania, Indiana, Texas, Alabama
and Arkansas. The Democrats of Penn
sylvania have already begun the canvass in
a manner to show their purpose; they have
nominated good strong ticket for State
offices, which, with the disafected Repub-
Gcans, they probably expect to elect In
Indiana they nominated Mr. Thomas Hen
bricks, one of their ablest and most con-
sistent statesmen for Governor, and with
him expect to gain that State. This rule
may be successfully followed in many other
States, and the Democrats may perhaps by
this means elect a majority to the next
Congress.

The Canton (Texas) Neo0s reports this:
One day last week, while Mr.. G. L. Ma
lone, who lives about five miles north of
EdOm, in this county, was hoeing cotton, a
very large cougar came into the field, and
was making its way to attack him. Some
ladies, who were passing at the time, gave
the alarm, and MIR. Malone discovered the
animal only about eighty PAGES from him.
On being seen, it crouched close to the
ground, IN which position it remained until
Mr.. Malone went hOme-Only a short dis
tance-and got gun. The first shot was
unsuccessful, as the animal never moved,
but the second took effect, and the cougar
bounded several feet perpendicularly. At
ter the last fire a negro boy, arwed with an
axe and assisted, by large dog, engaged
the animal, and after fierce conflict of
about two minutes, succeeded in killing it,.
The conduct of the cOlOred man and the
dog is described by those who saw the com
bat as having been heroic The cougar was
of the largest size, but very poor; this,
doubtless, accounts for its attack on Mr..
Malone.

Mr.. Christ is gentleman living in West
Ontario, near Pittsburg, who isn't on terms
of intimate acquaintance with the corpse OF
his own son. A young man died in the Vi
cinity Of the town, and after death some one
suggested he was Hiram Christ, son of
well known tOwnsman. Christ, senior, came
with his wife and daughters, and each at
first declared him their own. Doubts arose,
however, and during the delay the body
began to decOmpOse and was buried, fol-
lowed to the grave only by the sorrow
stricken sisters, the parents declining to
participate in the ceremony. The real
Hiram not appearing, the now affrighted
parents thought Of exhuming tie body
again and having the remains placed in the
family vault; and just as the grief was at
its height the young Hiram appeared in
propria persona, and so the corpse lost his
chances Of getting into the companionship
Of aristocratic dead men.

THE WAY 7IARKED our FOX NE.

From the Washington Chronicle
Oh, the waters are dark and turbid,
And fierce danger swells the tide;
ButIil launch my boat on its surface
For see no way beside.
There are calmer tides for another,
There are ander wind at sea;
But oh, why should shrink or falter,
From the way marked out for me.
For see in the purple waters,
In the murky heaving tide,
Some good that I ne'er had gathered
From any pathway beside.
E0Gae treasures go down in the struggle,
Some Joys that we can not save
For. oh. where is the life unwounded,
This side Of the peaceful grave
We are blind at the best, and thankless,
And mercy misunderstood;
Our blessings we deem our evils,
Our evils we deem our good.
But His hand has marked out my g0ings,
And ! know, though wan and tired
That my cross be it hard and heavy.
Is the one that ] required.
So IN take the tide at His bidding
And trust in his guidance free;
For with al Of its brOOding dangers,
It's the way marked out for mt.

The Homer Ihad says of the crop pros

The Homer Illad says of the crop pros
poets:
Crop prospects are more favorable on the
Ouachita this season than usual, and be-
tween Homer and Trenton crops were look
ing well before the recent unaccountable
rains. As it is the uplands are as a general
thing much washed and damaged All the
bridges between here and Trenton were
washed away, and we do not think the one
across the Schuda has yet been restored

to go round though townsville, and then
got into one branch that tiOated the buggy.

A good illustration is given Of woman's
courage, pluck, independence and deter
minatiOn by a Mrs. Dwight Root, whose
husband was the owner and driver of a
stage on the route from Pavilion to Warsaw
in Genesee and Wyoming counties. Lately
he sickened and died, and the disconsolate
widow, not being able to find a purchaser
of Lis postal contract, has herself mounted
the box, and now daily drives the stage, to
the admiration Of the public and the salts
faction of the passengers. This is the kind
of wOmen's rights that tends TO practical
results.

We are told that sundry poor women of
Boston have formed a mending and repair
ing society, and will sew on buttons, darn
stockings, and do other kindly service for
unprovided bachelors at half the usual
rates, and be very particular not to steal or
destroy their garments. This NAV be re-
garded as a blessed association for the
bachelors, but 1t has its drawbacks. ItmaY
be an encoura cement Of celibacy, which is
against public policy; and then on the
other hand it may be an organization whose
real intent is TO capture the bachelors for
its individual members. We distrust these

Snecimen Rnafnn Cnne.

This is from the New Iberia Sugar Bogl:
While in New Orleans recently, we saw
at the office of an importing fruit company
on st. Peter street, near the square, a stalk
Of sugar cane which had been brought from
the island OF Ruatan, and it would astonish
the oldest Louisiana sugar planter. 1t had
cut thirteen feet six inches for the mill, had
forty joints, and was of monstrOus size.
Unfortunately, we could not learn the
weight. Notwithstanding the size attained
by canes in Central and South America, we
learn that the yield of sugar is proportion
ately much less than in Louisiana.

A Wisconsin Democratic Congressman for
free lev.

Hon. Alexander Mitchell, member Of Con-
gress from this district, writes very freely
to Lis friends his impressions as to Demo
cratic Endorsement of Greeley. In a letter
received by a gentleman Of this city he
says: I'VE must make the best of it. As
between Grant and Greeley, the Democrats
say the latter. The rank and file Of the
Democratic party seem determined to 90 for
Greeley, and the leaders will have to submit
to what they can not control In New York
State the feeling is general among Demo
Gratis for Greeley. Even Governor Seymour
sees and 8cquiesces in the prOpriety of
adopting him as the only course left. 1t
looks now as If the people were to take the
matter in their own hands, and that the
views of so-called political leaders would be
held of small account"

woman was shown which was petritied by
him. 1t has all the appearance OF ivory,
