letter from Senator Wilson.

BosToN, July 80.
THE following letter from Senator Will
son explains itself:
NATIoK, Mass, July 80, 1871
j. o. Culver, Esq, State Journal, Madison, Wis:
MY DEAR SIR: The mail has just brought
me your note and the extracts clipped from
various papers purporting to be speeches
made by me. In answer to your inquiry,
have to say that they, and all thoughts and
words of like character which have appeared
in the papers, are mere inventions, forgeries,
and absolute falsehoods. Never have l
thought, spoken, or written those words,
nor ANYTHING resembling those words, nor
anything that the most malignant could tor
ture into such words. | could not have done
SO, for they are abhorrent to every conyle-
tion of my judgment, every throb of my
heart, every aspiration of my soul. Born in
extreme poverty, having endured the hard
lot the sons of poverty are too often forced
to endure, came to manhood passlonately
devoted to the creed of human equality. All
my life have cherished as a bright hope,
and held the avowed, living faith of
the doctrine that all men, without dis
tinction of color, race, or nationality, should
have complete liberty and exact equality of
all the rights i asked for myself. My
thoughts, my words, my heart, my votes,
have been consecrated for more than thirty
six years to human rights In the Consti-
tutional Convention of Massachusetts,, eight
years. service in her Legislature, in more
than seventeen years in the Senate of the
United States, in thirteen hundred public ad-
dresses, in the press and speeches, and in
writings that would fill many volumes, and
make thousands of pages, l have reiterated
and re.reteTated those rights for all condi-
tions of men. Is it not, my dear sir, passing
strange that partisanship should so blind men
to sense, truth, justice and fair play, that
they could forge and print abhorrent senti-
nents, insulting to God and man, and charge
them on one whose life has been given to
the cause of equal rights, and whose pro-
found sympathies were ever given to the
friends of liberty of all races and nationali-
ties abroadS Yours, truly.
HENRY WILSON.

General News Summary,
THE OLD WORLD.

President Thers' Tariff bill passed the
French Assembly on the Goth, there being
thirty-four votes against 1t.
A Paris dispatch Of the Goth gives a rumor
that General Slckles, our Minister to Spain,
had withdrawn his resignation, the differ
ences between himself and the Spanish Gov
ernment having been settled that Govern
ment promising to adopt liberal measures in
favor of the colored race in Cuba.
According to dispatches Of the 10Th, the
French authorities were taking prompt meas
ures with the miners and other strikers.
President Thiers praised the Projects of the
disturbed departments, and told them they
could have hundred thousand troopsif nee
essary to suppress the disorders. 1t was re-
ported that an International agent from Chi
cago was among the miners trying to induce
them to emigrate to the United States.
Christine Nilsson was married in West
minister Abbey, England, on the 9th, to M
Roussaud. The nuptials were witnessed by
an immense assemblage, including many Of
the aristocracy and well known artists.
The census of the population is sterminated
in Paris. diminution is shown since 1865
of about 900 inhabitants--an Insignificant
number in comparison to the total of $780,
600.
The SpiSs Times GENEVA of the Goth con-
firms the report that the Tribunal of Arbitra-
ton had decided in favor of America in the
case of the privateer Florida, on the ground
that the British Government did not use suf-
ficient precautions to prevent the departure
of that vessel from English ports. The
Times further says: "The Board of Arbitra-
ton have not allowed the claims of the Amer
ican Government arising out of the depreda-
tions of the Boston, JEFF. Davis and several
other smaller Confederate cruisers. The
reasons are that the charges of negligence on
the part of the British Government concern
ing these vessels were not proved"
A fearful accident occurred on the 29th in
the town of Kustrin, Prussia, a short dis
tance from Frankfort. An omnibus, loaded
with passengers, while crossing railroad
track, was run into by a train and dashed to
pieces, eight of the passengers being killed
outright, and all the others more or less in
jured.
The magnificent railway station at Metz,
France, has been destroyed by tire. This is
the fourth large fire which has occurred in
that city within twelve months.
Miss Nellie Grant was at Vienna, Austria,
on the 3lst ult.
A cable dispatch of the 31st ult says there
was complete harmony in the Board of Arbi-
| tration at Geneva, and speedy settlement
of all questions before the Tribunal was ex-
pected within few weeks.
A Berlin dispatch of the 1st says three
cases of Asiatic cholera had occurred in
that city.
American residents In Paris entertained
Stanley at a banquet on the night of the 3lst
ult., at'which Minister Washburne presided,
and hundred guests were present, includ'
ing most of the resident correspondents OF
| American journals.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1872-08-09

An honest, thrifty, well-to.do German
in Connecticut city applied to wealthy
landlord who rents great many houses.
''The house is to let, certainly" said the
owner "and If, upon inquiry, 1 find you
TO be responsible and suitable man for
tenant, you shall have it," "Vera goot,
Mr.. H., you make just as many ques-
tions as you mind. takes the house
when you gets ready" Two days after
ward the house-owner called upon the
German. "Well," he said, "Tve inquired
pretty generally respecting your character
and means, and as everybody speaks Of
you as an honest, respectable man of album
dant property, you can have the house. !"
"Vell, den, {" said Hans, 81 takes de house.
And / wants to tell you I've asked all
about you among the peoples, and dey all
say that you is de meanest landlort in de
town; but takes de house all de same. Z"

A Cow with HydrOphObia Trees Two
Men.


Mr.. j. r. PARSONS, who resides few
miles from the city, informs us that the
other day he went with his hired man, a
German, into large timber lot to drive
up some cattle, Among them was fine
COW, whose actions indicated that some
thing was the matter, and he called the
attention of his hired man to her, and
told him to look at her eyes, that she was
mad, and that he thought she was going
for" them. The words were hardly out
of his mouth, when the cow made a
charge at Jack with most terrific bawl,
and he made for a shell bark, going up it
with admirable facility for few feet, out
of reach of the vicious brute. The COW
then turned on the German, and he
"cooned it" up small sapling, and was
soon among the branches and out of
danger, Jacks tree was a rough one, and
hard 10 climb, being from 20 to 80 feet to
the limbs, so he tried to slip down and
find better tree, bat the COW was on the
war path, and "made for him" every time
he came to the ground, and once catching
him on the leg and bruising it quite Sc
veIely. Finding that his strength would
fail, he determined to go up to the limbs,
where he could take rest. This he ac-
comp)ished with considerable damage to
his clothes as well as abrading the skin
on his arms, which to-day still showed the
marks of his extraordinary climb. Once
safely among the branches the two
patiently awaited for the cow to go away,
but she seemed determined to keep her
advantage, and watched the two freed
gentlemen like hawk. Hours passed,
and night was coming on, and Jack began
to feel uneasy, so he commenced q series
Qf hallOaQ for baln A naiUhhOr nnaginU
along the road answered the call, and was
made acquainted with the situation, and
succeeded in directing the attention of
the COW to himself, and 1t vigorously
attacked the new conner through the
fence, until such time as Parsons and his
man got down from the trees and skipped
out of the enclosure, closely pursued by
the infuriated COW. 1t seems to have
been plain case of hydrophobia, and the
beast died that night.
The dogs in the neighborhood found
the carcass, and freely invested in mad
beefsteaks, and, for fear of the CANNES
going mad, eleven of them were killed.
Hanai6al No. Times.
The Boston Globe says; "All the time
during the recent hot weather large
number of stevedores and laborers have
been busy unloading coal vessels, and
there has been no hold.up by those adopt
ed citizens on account of heat. An in
quiry as TO what they drink reveals the
fact that the men drink large quantities
of ice-water with which is mixed oat-
meal, handful of meal to pailful of
water. The men say that is the way they
do in the old country, and nobody gets
sunstruck who uses oatmeal

LOOKING BACK.


ILEAN on the rectory gates again,
As Oft I've leant In the days OF old,
When the rcctOr's daughter, Miriam Moyne,
was aye treasure TO me untold
And straight muse on that Olden time,
Ia the fadlng light OF the autumn day.
As the dreamy tones OF the curfew's chime
Float over the shadowy woods away
The cushat calls AZ OF old, from fields p .-r..
That hl with mist az the dayllRht tades,
And the dim mysterious twilight steals
Ger hill and dale with her dreamy shades; =,
And the pale, proud moon, with her wan lI
Who asks no aid OF sail or Of oar,
S,yims up the east from the underworld,
As shesy am In the autumn ewes Of yOre.
But there comes not now as then there came,
Up the graveed pathway unto me,
A maid II was, oh, SO sweet to namei
form It was, oh, such bliss to seo
And, standing here by the gates, miss
The silvery ring Of her every tone,
The smile and the look, the greeting kiss,
And the soft white hand within mine own.
Nor ever again, at the twilight hour,
When stars steal out in the heavens above
And dew hangs light upon leaf and flower,
oh, never again shall meet my lovei
For one May morn, as the eastern skies
Were flushing faint with the dawn, she died
Andcold, cold now In her grave she lies,
By yon gray church on the bare hillside
Chambers JOByn0i.
