A Fragment of American History

At the last meeting of the Histori-
archaeological society in Boston, Mr..
Samuel G.. Drake read n paper upon
Sir Alexander Cunning among the
Cherokecs, or Facts in the Early His
tory of Georgia" The paper he was
about to present, said Mr.. Drake, came
into his possession by purchase in
London, and was written by Sir Alex
ander Cunning in the year 1865. Sir
Alexander was one Of an expedition
sent out by the English Government
about that year. He seemed to have
been an honest though visionary man,
inasmuch as he asserted that pecuniary
results of settlement in the Cherokee
country would pay the national debt of
England in twenty years. After fail
ing in several attempts to secure some
royal appointment, upon the accession
of George III, he made a direct appeal
to that monarch, and succeeded at last
in obtaining the appointment of AM
bassador to the Cherokees. The ex-
act year of his departure from Eng
land is not definitely known, but twas
shortly before the breaking out of the
troubles between the English and
French, who were fighting hard to OBJ
tain "A foothold in the new country to
the exclusion of the other. The doc
ument gave accounts of the adventures
of Sir Alexander and his company
among the Cherokees, interpersed with
explanations and remarks by the
reader. As fragment of American
history from the direct hand of a
prominent actor in the scenes describ-
ed, the paper is valuable acquisition.

What IL is to be n widow.

II think it must be jolly thing to
be young widow" | heard this re-
mark, the other day, in group of
laughing girls. l think | remember
saying such thing myself in the care
less girlish times.
Do you know, girls what is to be a
widow? 1t is ten times more open to
comment than any demoiselle could
possibly be. 1t is to have men gaze
as you pass, first at your black dress,
then at your widow S cap, until your
sensitive nerves CULVER under the in
fiictions. 1t is to have one i'll naturcd
person say, II wonder how long she
will wait before she marries again?"
and another answer. Until she gets
good chance, | Supposed 1t is now
and then to meet the glace Of real
sympathy, generally from the poorest
and noblest women that you meet and
feel your eyes fill at the token, so rare,
that it is alas |! unlocked for. 1t is to
have your dear fashionable friend con-
dole you after the following fashion !:
"Oh WELL its dreadful loss. We
knew you'd feel it, poor dear; And in
the ncXt-Drcatn. GU VIII DC sure 10
marry again, and your widows cap is
very becoming to you
But it is more than this to be a wild
ow. 1t is to miss the strong arm that
you have leaned upon; the true faith
that you knew could never fail you,
though all the world might forsake
you. 1t is to the dear voice that ut
tered your name with a tenderness
none other could give it. 1t is to hear
never no more the well known foostep
that you flew so gladly once to meet
To see no more the face that, to your
adjoining eyes, seemed as the face of
the angels of God? To feel no more
the twining arms that folded you so
lovingly the dear eyes that, looking
intoyour own, said sOplainly, whatever
il mi ght seem 10 others, yours was the
fairest earth held for him. Ii is to
fight with mighty sorrow as man
fights with the waves that ovorwhelm
him, and to hold it at arms length for
a while, only to have-in hours of lone.
illness and weakness-the torrent roll
over you, while-poor storm driven
dove-you see no haven of peace in
the distance but heaven.

Snmner,s Opinion Of Gvnnt.

Il am satisfied said Mr.. Sumner,
that Grant is dishonest man. That
is sufficient to justify me in saying
most positively that cannot and shall
not support him. For other reasons
he is unfit to be President of the Uni
ted States. He does not possess the
necessary capacity. He is ignorant OF
the details of civil government, and
does not manifest disposition to learn
them. He is venal, ambitious, and
vulgar in his habits, and possesses a
cunning which is low logged. He has
a strong will, but it is never controlled
by reason, and hence he becomes per
verse, and the man when he should be
most yielding and gcntlem My is most
obstinate and unmanly Such man
is unfit to he President Of the United
States, and most unfit TO be the clnd
date of the Republican party He
ought not TO be nominated by that
party, and shall not be if | can help
it. | cannot honorably support par
ty that will sustain such a maj"

We see this desire for the good op-

around u.s. When it has died out in
tany human heart what hope for ele-
walton? The language of compliment
universal in polite society recognizes
this principle, and it is because this
language is often hollow and hypocrit-
cal that many earnest and sincere per-
sons abjure it entirely. They refrain
from expressing admiration and ap
proval Of meritorious deeds for fear
their words may be misconstrued, and
they feel bound in candor to utter free
ly any adverse criticisms that may
seem to them to be called for. In
some families how seldom do we hear
the language of appreciation and COM
pllment from one to the other. The
ties of relationship are often only an
excuse for uttcring freely unpleasant
remarks and harsh censures. Not in
this way is domestic life made type

visit TO a shawl Factory In Cashmere

A gentleman who travelled a long
time in India and Cashmere, gives some
facts about the manufacture and cost
of real Cashmere scarf or shawl.
While in Cashmere, he visited Nook
Shah, who is the best and greatest
manufacturer of shawls Of that city.
The factory was a miserable dirty
building, the work -room measuring
about sixty by thirty feet. Here he
found some forty men and boys, of all
ages from six to fifty, arranged in twos
and threes, at different looms. each
one having loom to himself, for all
the most valuable shawls are made in
looms, in small pieces, according to
the pattern, and then sewed together
The pattern is not put in colors and
squares, like our patterns of worsted
work for chair backs, seats or slippers
but the directions are written. When
the patterns are made they are all
sewed together. At some looms in
operation there appeared to be four
or five hundred small pins of wood
with rolls of different shades of wool
en- thread, to be used in different parts
of the pattern. 1t was astonishing to
see the dexterity with which the small
children worked these handlooms, and
understood their written directions.
