in 1862-The Sole Survivor Celebrates
the Anniversary.
From the New York Sun, Sept H.
Half score of years ago Mrs.
Bidgelow kept boarding house at
% Great Jones street. Among her
boarders were ten gentlemen who
had lived together for many years.
The breaking out ofthe war changed
the current of life of many of the
party, and a number of them express
ed the determination to join the
Union ranks. Many were the regrets
at the dissolution, of their society,
and it was decided that they should
have q farewell dinner on the even
ing of Sept. 10, 1862. Arrangements
were accordingly made, and at eight
o'clock on the evening named the
ten gentlemen took their accustomed
seats at the table. Each and every
one was then full of life and hope,
and the future prospects of each be-
came the subject of animated con-
yersation. Before they separated
each man made solemn
VOW that if he was living ten years
hence he would meet the rest of his
companions at o'clock, in the same
place just as they had done that
night. Since then the house has
come under the proprietorship of
Mr.. J. 3. Smith. A few days ago
Mr.. Smith wns requested by Mr..
Edward K. Winship, broker, of "a
Broad street, to prepare a dinner for
ten gentlemen on the evening of the
10th of September, 1872.
AT precisely 8 O'Clock on Tuesday
evening Mr.. Winship, the sole sur
vivor OF the party, entered the din
ing room and the doors were closed
behind him. No one was present save
Geo. Bentley and one or two walters.
The room and tables were arranged
just as they were ten years ago, and
Mr.. Winship, with head bowed and
with saddened expression, took the
same seat he had occupied years
ago. All around were empty chairs,
empty plates and untitled glasses.
The meal was begun, and the soil
tary banqueter was served with the
usual courses, Mr.. Winship occasion
ally passing a word with the waiter.
"Poor boys +! they are all gone"
said he. zone went down in the
Monitor in Mobile Bay, another was
drowned in the same waters. Two
were shot at Mobile. One lost both
legs by ball, the other was pierced
through the heart. Another died in
Philadelphia, and the sixth died in
New York" He said that while in
FEBRUARY last, as he was walking up
Broadway one evening, he felt tap
on the shoulder, and voice asked
him whether he knew Mr.. 81
do" replied Er. Winship. "He
died at four o'clock to day." said the
voice. Though Mr.. Winship turned
quickly upon feeling the tap and
hearing the voice, he was unable to
ascertain who it was that addressed
him. He afterward learned that one
of the party of ten had died on that
day and at the hour indicated. Mr..
Winship said that the oldest of the
party next to himself, was only 20.

sAYLEs J. BowEN's CASE.

There has been one distorted story
that would never have been given to
the public, probably, had the Presi-
dent appointed Sayles j. Bowen Min
lister to the Argentine Republic, as
Mr.. Bowen last winter requested,
nay, almost demanded. In the win
ter of 1869 General Grant sold his
house, through Judge Latta, a real
estate broker of Washington, to
Sayles J. Bowen, for $4,000, and
Mr.. Bowen put up with the broker
81 900 to bind the bargain. When
the gentlemen from New York came
on to present General Sherman with
house, they took fancy to this
same house, and offered to take it at
the same price, and pay $4,000 for
the furniture. Mr.. Bowen was asked
if he was willing to cancel the con-
tract and take back his $1,000, to
which he readily assented, General
Grant paying the brokers' commits
sion and all expenses. After General
Sherman had taken possession, he
for some reason thought he would
prefer the money to the house, and
offered it again to Mr.. Bowen for the
same price he had before agreed to
pay Gen. Grant, which offer was not
accepted and that is all there is
about the Bowen-Sherman house, and
the transaction would have remained
in Oblivion had the President given
Mr.. Bowen all the patronage he de.
sired, which was not a little. The

How different the subjoiusd extract from

the Province of Virginia, in l67l-nearly
two hundred years ago. II reads as fol
lows:
ave have forty eight parishes, and the
governor and our ministers are well paid,
and by my consent, should be better, If they
would pray oftener and preach less. Bot,
as OF all other commodities, so of this, the
worst are sent us, aud We have few that we
can boast Of, since the persecution in Orom-
wells tyranny drove divers worthy men
hithsr. Bot, thank God, there are no free
schools, nor printing, and hope We shall
not have these for one hundred years to
come for learning has brought disobedi-
enoe and heresy, and scots into the world,
and printing has divulged them, and libels
against the best government. God keep us
from both"
The FIRST sentiments of this extract will
receive the hearty Endorsement Of ell honest,
thoughtful men, ct the present day. And,
while we might be inclined to ridicule the
blindness and folly expressed in that part
relating to free schools, printing, &C., we
must remember that the psople of Virginia
at that time, were but children of the woods
nurtured in the freedom of the wilderness
and dwelling In lonely cottages scat,
tered along the streams, with no newspapers
no advantages of printing, and having bu
few Of the privileges which We nov enjoy
What wonder that they should look witt
distrust upon anything which they nigh
consider an encroschment upon their liber
ties, for, at that time, men feared injustice
; more than they feared disorder. And it he
been ever thus. Never has the brain Q
