Col. Thomas B. Van Buren,, chief
Of the deposed Vienna Commission,
has written letter to the President
in which in the most emphatic and
explicit terms, he denies one and all
the charges OF compton brought
against him in connection with his
administration Of the affairs Of the
American department Of the Vienna
Exposition. He says:
And I wish here to say in the most
emphatic language, but with great
est respect, that the person acho as
serts or intimdtes that I haze ecer
received, asked, been promised, or
erpect, q single cent, or any consid-
Grafton or advantage aehatecer, eih-
CT directly or indirectly, from any
appointment or concession, or By
reason Of my position, or IN any
way IN connection acith this crhibi-
ton, IS q coecar0Iy knaue and liar.
Col. Van Buren, supplements his
letter with an affidavit even more
circumstantial and comprehensive
in its denial Of the charges. He at
tributes his disgrace to the machi-
nations Of John Jay, our minister to
Austria, who, he says, has pretend
ed to be his friend, and yet secretly
undermined him with the State de-
partment.
Either Col. Van Buren, is innocent,
and has been most shamefully treat
ed, or he is greater rascal than
represented. We think that the pub
lie will, upon reading this manly
yet undiplomatic letter, incline to
the former opinion, and demand the
exposure and punishment of the con-
SniratnrS.

A New Yo&K jury has finally de-
termined that George Francis Train
is insane, and have remanded him
to the custody of an Asylum. Train,
if not a lunatic, is a nuisance, and
his temporary incarceration will
work no harm to him, while it affords
a relief to the public.

GAN OLD ESTABLISHED FIRM
The firm of S. M. Pettengill & Co.
commenced their Advertising
Agency in the old Journal building
No. 10 State Street, Boston, nearly
a quarter ola century ago February
ls49D where their Agency is still
located, carrying on large and
successful business. They estab-
lished branch in New York City,
May 1852, which has grown to be
larger than the parent house,
increasing steadily, year by year,
until now it has the agency ofnearly
every newspaper in the United
States and British Provinces, and
does yearly business of hundreds
ST thousands of dollars. S. M. Pet
tcngill Il Co. have recently opened
another branch Office at FOL Chest
nut Street, Philadelphia, where they
are doing successful increasing
business. They have done adver-
Using exceeding ten millions of
dollars since commencing business.
This firm is favorably known not
only throughout this country, hut in
all parts of the world. They have
established reputation for honor
able and fair dealing which any
firm might envy, and but few have
attained to. We congratulate them
upon their success. We would re-
commend all who want advertising
done in any part of the country to
call upon them. They can point to
hundreds of business men who haye
followed their advice, and trusted
to their sagacity, and availed them
selves of their facilities, who have
made fortunes for themselves, and
they are daily assisting others in
the same path" -Bostom Journal,

Reptilinn.

On Saturday, Sd inst, as Joseph
Brewer and his sons were walking
on the river bank two and half
miles above Ponca, they discovered
projecting from the rocky bluff,
which at that point is about two
hundred feet high, the petritied tail
of some huge creature of a species
unknown to this latitude.
Monday morning several men re-
paired to the spot and set to work
digging out the monster. At last
accounts they had worked into the
bank 26 feet, and-had not reached
the shoulders. Some idea of the
size of the skeleton may be formed
when it is stated that the rib bones
are six feet in length. The frame
work of the monster is in good
state Of preservation, and petrified
as solid as the stones which sur
round it. The formation is of the
reptile order, and the whole has the
shape of monster alligator. The
point in the bank where the curios-
ity was found is about five feet
above the water level.
1t is the intention Of Messrs. Por-
ter, Welty and other prominent cit
liens of Ponca, to exhume the skel-
eton in the best possible shape,
when an investigation will be asked
at the hands of scientific experts,
with view of ascertaining if posi-

from the Galveston Weekly Times.
Hon. Simon Cameron, L. 5. SPna.
tor from PennSyivania.

The telegraph announces that General
Cameron will make the South visit at an
early day. Among the truly representative
men OF the country Simon Cameron is prom
inent. Daniel O'Connell said of himself,
that he was the ''best abused" man in Great
Britain, but the abuse heaped upon General
Cameron in America has probably exceeded
that endured by the great Irish leader, in his
own country. 1t is the penalty of distinction
to have your privacy invaded and your name
banded about by envy and malice. Steadily,
through fifty years of manhood, General
Cameron has won his way, against the storms
of opposition, and in spite OF every obstacle,
not only to wealth, reputation and power, but
to occupy an honored place in the first delib-
crative body in the world-the Senate of the
United States. For more than thirty wears
General Cameron has held the great State OF
Pennsylvania, politically, in his hand. Party
splits and new combinations, wealth and tai
ent, and vast political experiences, have
united, at divers times and in sundry WAYS,
in that long period, to subvert his influence,
and to crowd him into obscurity, but he has
still met them and dispersed them with a
GOODNESS and skill that places him among
the very ablest political managers in this
country.
General Cameron was born in Lancaster
county, Pennsylvania, on the Sth of March,
1899; he is, therefore, "A years old, entering
on his 18th year. He learned the printing
business and worked as iourneyman and as
an editor and publisher. The transition from
publishing newspapers to political life is easy
and natural, and Simon Cameron soon be-
came an active and influential political leader.
He was also largely engaged in banking bust
ness, and in railroads and internal improve
ments AT one time he was Adjutant-gen
eral OF Pennsylvania; he was Secretary Of
War in 1861, and our Minister to Russia in
lsG2. He was first elected to the United
States Senate in 1916, again in 1857, a third
| time in 1867, a fourth time in 1873 for six
years.
General Cameron is OF Scotch descent. he
is noted for the possession Of the qualities OF
adhesiveness and persistence so character
istic Of that people.
He was never known TO surrender a Dur.
pose or TO desert friend. In person he is
tall, spare, and wiry, mild in manners and
speech, cautious and selfpossessed. His
visit 10 the South may be of great benefit "a
us, for he is man who can see facts rs they
are, and has the courage to tell them.

A slave Market.
Visit to an African Slave Bazar-Human
Flesh Up at Auction.

In letter from Zanzibar, dated the 18th
ult., the London Daily Telegraph's cores
pendent, after referring to a report that the
Sultan had not accepted the proposals made
to HIM bv the British Government to pro-
hibit The transportation Of slaves from the
coast to the islands, describes visit he had
paid to the slave market at Zanzibar, as fol-
lows: 1t is in a corner of the poorest quarter
of the town, principally inhabited by negroes.
At the time of my visit-5:30 p. M.-said to
be the busiest in the market, there were
about seyenty-five slaves for sale. The
slaves exposed were all Africans, both the
new importatiOns and those whom their
masters, for their faults or owing to pecuniary
pressure, had sent to the market. The two
classes could be easily distinguished. The
latter were in good condition, and fairly clad,
two or three had even silver ornaments,
which, however, was informed were to be
removed the moment their wearers were sold.
They were all females, and, with three or
four exceptions, young. \ few of these were
made to stand in row for the inspection OF
intended buyers; others sat in the verandas
Of the huts, talking to each other in a sub
dUed Jice-a point insisted upon by their
master and brokers, very much against their
own inciuation-while those in the row stood
mute, like soldiers after the word "atten-

Before and After Marriage.

How hard il is to tell before marriage what
kind of "A husband your lover will prove, has
no doubt been the secret thought of many
young ladies'. And how very often they
have been deceived, either one way or the
other. Those who thought their attentive
lovers would make good husband, have found
them To be tyrants and others, whose low
ers acted but too natural who could not
hide their ill feelings, but gave way To- their
passions in presence Of their beloved idol,
and for whom his lady-love tremblcd at the
idea Of being united for life; but loving too
well, and not caring for his faults, hoping ior
REFORM married him in spite of all tIi5-hOW
different was the rcalzatiOn-how good she
found her husband to be! She was not de-
ccived she knew him before marriage, and
found him to be what she expected; and
what other result was i'll store but happiness
for the love was mutual.
And how different doe. the husband prove
who, as lover, was all attention act.ng his
part as such n one will, never forgetting him
self during their engagement, but WAS always

little brother with candy, was pleasant - the

who iInds That her husband u i'L what she
thought him to be She only knew hi7

not last after marriage; his natusa. feeling,
must come forward, and 10. 81" It'd not
find him 10 be what she expected. What
could the result Of this be bat unlappi-
ness?
When we get what wc expected wr are
not cheated, and, therefore, uatuTal-act-
ing lover is always preferable To The gallant
and unfIthOmcd lover. Most generally Tie
man who loves truly will act natural ur-
knowingly, and the pretcndrr has part 10
act wherein he dare not lose hi, wit nor cx-
hibit hi. passions. But the lover who shove
by an act that he lOrcs yuu, and the next
moment shows one Of his IH-pas,.oAs, loves
truly, for he does not think nor know that hc

thinks that you love him a. well as De love,

him, and be is afraid Of losing las prey

Therefore do not get offended al natural
acting lover; for he loves YOU truly, and -
unconscious Of hurting your feelings.

The Monitor.

The Monitor was first designed and pro-
posed by John Ericsson, of New York, city
paper says. He was born in Sweden in
1903, and from boyhOod manifested decided
aptitude for mechanical invention. In 1923,
he went to England, where he acquired the
highest reputation as n constructive engineer.
He came to America in 1889, assuming at
once and maintaining foremost place in his
profession. So confident was he of the per-
feet success Of his invention, that he pro-
posed for it the name Of the Monitor" The
price contracted for was 1915 900. The con-
struction of the vessel was undertaken by
ThOs. F. Rowland, proprietor of the Con-
tnental Works, at Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
So rapidly was the work pressed forward,
that the vessel was launched with her en-
gines on board, on the Both Of January, just
one hundred days after the keel was laid.
The hull of the Monitor was 40 feet long, 80
feet wide at the broadcast part, and II feet
deep. The hull was constructed Of a double
thickness of iron, threc-eighths of an inch
thick, strengthened by iron ribs and knees.
The entire length on deck was lG6 feet, the
breadth AZ. Ericsson adopted the revolving
turret invention of Theodore r. Timby, al
the offensive means of his Monitor. She ar
rived at Hampton Roads, from New York, on
the evening Of March s, 1862, and on the fol-
udy
with the Merrimac, or Virginia. On the 18th
of May, the Monitor engaged in her second
and last action, when, with four other ves-
sells, under command Of Commander John
Rogers, she assembled the James river, pur-
posing an attack on Richmond. The attack
failed, and the Monitor then remained at
Hampton Roads until the close Of the year,
when. with the Passaic and Montauk, two
vessels of the same general construction,
which had just been completed, she was or
dered TO Beaufort, South Carolina. The
Monitor set out on the 29th Of December, IN
tow of the steamer Rhode Island. The Sec
ond day out they approached the stormy point
of Cape Hatteras. A gale sprung up, the sea
began to rise in heavy swells, breaking over
the deck and pilot-house, and dashing against
the base Of the turret. The gale increased,
and the water began to dash into the turret
and down the blow-pipes. A signal Of dis
tress was made, and the Rhode Island was
requested to send boats to take of the crew.
The Last that was seen of the Monitor was al
midnight, when she drifted away, the red
light cleaning from the turret. She must
have gone down few minutes after, carrying
with her twelve Of the sixty-five men on
board. The Monitor was lost just eleven
months from the day she was launched.

To The Editors Of The Ne,c National Era:
The Happy Fellows ball, given at Strass-
burg's hall in Detroit, on the 18th instant,
was without any exception one of the most
elegant and beautiful affairs that have ever
been given in that city. The hall was hand
somely decorated with all the essential rcaui-
sites for such occasions and the taste in the
selection and the management reflected the
highest credit on the committee having them
in charge. The ladies, as usual, looked fine,
and the display Of rich and beautiful toilets
surpasses all description. The club also pre-
scented fine appearance, especially Mr.. John
Cary, the President, whose mild way Of gov
crning has crowned his efforts with success.
All present were highly delighted with the
affair, which can only be equaled by repe-
tition. NED.
