The subject of the war was being dis
cussed, and Mr.. R was asked his opin-
ion by the President as to the. contemplated
policy of coercion of war. Mr.. RI, be-
ing States rights man, suggested that to
prevent the effusion OF fraternal blood and
strife, 'sthe hayward sisters be allowed to
depart in peace,' or at least bloodshed should
be avoided. Mr.. Lincoln replied that what
ever his sympathies and feelings might be
for the South, he. as President, was sworn to
protect and defend the Constitution and laws
of the United States. He said he was in the
condition of the boy who went out with a
party OF coon hunters, when small, young
coon was caught, tied with a string. and tie
young lad reqested to hold the coon until
the return of the party from the pursuit of
more game. The coon tugged at the string
to get loose, locked wistfully at the neigh
boring woods and then sat HIS a,aral-- Sullase
sVmpathies for the little prisoner were thor
oughly aroused. After witnessing the vain

feelings of sorrow fully aroused, he solilo-
quised alouda follows: "Cooney, | am sorry

he was subject to a nightly curtain lecture

with Christian-like resignation. but he at
last devised plan for putting an end to it.
He procured piece OF wood formed in the
shape OF a human being and dressed it in
some Of his wlfe's wardrobe, and then placed
it i'll the garden. sitting in an iron chair. To
this craven image he knelt down and poured

Presently both of them emerged from the
kitchen, armed with broom sticks, and made
an attack upon the dummy woman while
the husband, who had retired in good order,
sat at the back, enjoying the scene. After
knocking the image over, they pounced up,
on and tore the clothing in rags. They soon
discovered the cheat, and rushed into the
house terribly mortified. The husband fol-

scene in the garden, and she changes the

DID yOu ever see woman undertake to

the wood are sharp, and she takes it down
with an ejaculation, and with growing dis
regard for appearances puts her foot on it in
stead. Her hair never fails to come down at
this juncture, and she has to stop to twist it
into hard knot behind before beginning to

jumping and skipping on its own account,
and the whole femenine mind being concen-

Military Education i'm the South
and North.

1t is, we believe, a remarkable fact that
states receiving military cducations than in
the northern states. There are very few
private military institutions in the northern
states. West Point, therefore. embraces a
large number of the youth who receive mil.
itary educations at the north. We see In an
account of the proceedings which took place
at West Point Cgraced wsth the president and
the secretary of War; there were but forty
one graduates. We are satisfied that there
are several times as many graduates this
year from the different military institutions
in the southern states. The military institu-
ton at Lexington, Virginia, alone Yies with
West Point in the number of its graduates.
There always has been in our southern
youth greater propensity for military edu-
cation than in the youths of the North
The reason might be, that the northern peo-
pie cherished most. trade and commerce /; but
the southern people, being almost agricul.
tural in their pursuits-raised to the hcrse and
gun--looked to military life as most congo
NAL TO their pursuits and tastes. Hence, be-
fore the late war, almost every state in the
south had military Institution; whilst
there were great number OF private institu-
tons OF similar character. Reconstruction
wiped them out, but we are glad to see that
