The Augusta Cotton Pool, inaugu-
rated by the Augusta Exchange, closed
on Wednesday, April 1. One hundred
and seventy-two estimates were given
I'M making the total amount in the pool

DIR. LorHRop AND DANCING.


A better story than the many told of
West Springfield's eccentric parson, the Rev.
DR.. Lothr6p, at the centennial gathering,
is told by the Rev. Mr.. Nightingale, Of Gro
ton, Mass. If it is not true it is good enough
to be, not only in itself but in the telling:
A young lady who was a member Of DR..
Lothrop's Church went on avisit to neigh
boring town, and while there attended a
party and danced. Tidiugs Of her sin
reached home before her. On her return
she was visited and called to most severe
accountforthe disgrace she had thus brought
uponherselfandupon the Church, and which
had been found out, notwithstanding it had
been done among strangers. One staid
maiden was specially earnest in her rebukes,
and made the poor girl feel very bad. aWhat
shall | do?" she asked. "You had better
go and see DR.. Lothrop." She did 90, and
told him all about it. "And so, my dear,
you went to the party and danced, did
you ? he said. "Yes, sir" "And did you
have a good time Pr "Yes, sir" swell,
/ am glad Of it, andI hope you viii go again
and enjoy yourself. And now l want you
to tell me the name Of the woman who has
been making you all this trouble" She
told. "Go to that woman ard tell her for
me, that if she wants to get to heaven she
had better make more use of her feet aud
less of her tongue"

WASHINGTON WEDDINGS IN PROS
DElyF

The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette furnishes the
following matrimonial gossip:
The winters campaign has termi-
mated In several successful engage
ments among u society bellies and
beaux. Besides Miss Grants; of which
/ have already advised you, the daugh-
ter of the rebel Gen. Jubal Early, Miss
Halle, is reported engaged to young
Lieutenant Commander Manly, Of the
navy. In the companionship for belle
dom this winter one of our Washing
ton correspondents went quite wild
over Miss EARLY and hef picturesque
beauty; and she certainly is quite pretty
enough to turn a good many heads and
hearts.
Then Miss Violet Blair, grand
daughter of the historic Montgomery
Blaif, ST., is to be married in April to
a young lawyer by the name of Janin.
Gen, Sherman's daughter Miss Min
ME, wiz soon change her present name
for that Of Fitch, a young naval engi-
neer; and Miss Wise, daughter Of the
late Commodore, is said to be engaged
to Mr.. Nichols, also of the navy.
Miss Bessie Stewart, daughter of the
Senstot from Nevada, is announced as
engaged to Lieutenant Commander
Hooker, a very handsome young naval
officer, and the wedding day is fixed
for May, l believe:

Inconsistencies In this .'extraordinary''
document as follows:
1--WE have the positive allegation hat the
death of Lord Clarendon, june 27, 1870,
determined the time for inviting Mr.. Mot
ley to make place for a successor when, in
point of fact, some time before his lordshis'e
illness, even the Secretary had invited me
10 20 to bcrfOh as Mr.. Motley's successor
thus showing that the explanation of
Lord Clarendon's deathw was an a~fterthought
when it became important to divert atten-
ton from the obvious dependence of the re-
moval upon the defeat Of the San Domingo
treaty..
"The treaty. says the document, "was
admitted to be practically dead, and was
only wanting the formal action of the Sem
ate for weeks and months before the de-
cease Of the illustrious statesman Of Great
Britain Weeks and months, And yet
during the last month, when the treaty
"was admitted to be practically Dead" the
Secretary who signed the document passed
three hours at my house, pleading with me
70 withdraw my opposition, and finally
wound up with the tender to me of the
English mission, with no other apparent
object than simply TO get me out of the
way.
Then again we have the positive allega-
ton that the President embraced an OPP
pOrtunity "to prevent my further misape
prehension Of his views through Mr.. Mot
ley by taking from him the right to discuss
further the Alabama claims" whereas the
Secretary in a letter to me at Boston, dated
at Washington, Oct. 8, 1863, informs me
that the discussion of the question was
withdrawn from London, 'becduse (the
italics are the Secretary's) we think that
when renewed Il can be carried on here,
with a better prospect of settlement han
were the late attempt at a convention
which resulted so disastrously and was
conducted so strangely was had;" and what
the Secretary thus wrote he repeated in
conversation when we met, carefully max
ing the transfer to Washington depend
upon our advantage here, from the presence
of the Senate-thus showing that the pre-
text put forthto wound Mr.. Motley was an
aforethOugbt.
Still further the document signed by the
Secretary alleges, by way of excuse for re-
moving Mr.. Motley, "the important public
consideration of having a representative in
sympathy with the Presidents views,v
whereas, when the Secretary rendered
the mission to me, no allusion was made to
sympathy with the Presidents views"
while Mr.. Motley, it appears, was charged
with agreeing too much with me.
These extracts suffice to show the ma
ture of the indictment against Secre-
tary Fish. The suppressed speech
goes on to cite the various stages of the
Alabama negotiations, showing that
the various positions taken by Mr..
Motley in the matter had been the re-
suit of instructions from Fish after
continuous consultations with Mr. Sum-
ner. Of course, Motley was in accord
with the views of Sumner, when Fish's
instructions to him were imbibed from
the same fountain. The case is a plain
one, that Grant and Fish changed front
on the Alabama question, repudiating
their own instructions to Motley, and
making the change under cover of his
disgrace.

Catholicism, but chiefly from the eontami-
mating lsxity of the French people. In no
other country is the Jew so lax In his OBJ
seryance Of the principal commands. of his
faith, nor so tinctured by the superstition
of his Christian associates and the levity Of
bis infdel neighb5rs. In every branch of
commerce, science and art, however, they
have won for themselves the highest dis
tincfion, and in the army and legislative
halls Of France they are a decided power,
Governmental rank.
In Prussia the Jews, limited to their pur-
suit of many other aims, have devoted
themselves extensively to commerce, and
become the "merchant princes" Of the
earth, and in Holland also their wealth is
enormous, there being no richer community
in the world than the Jews of Amsterdam.
They are, nevertheless, excluded in both
countries, with rare exceptions, from the
society of the ~aristocracy. As a general
rule in European countries, with the excep-
ton of France, the Jews meet with simple
liberation and exceptional recognition from
the higher classes, while the lower orders
Of the people retain for them an almost
medieval contempt. They have ther fixed
quarters in the meanest portions of the
cities, emerging from them TO aristocratic
~neighborhoods in the more enlighted coun-
tries, only on the accumulation Of great
wealth.
But in England, France, and America,
Hebrew genius meets its fullest recogni-
ton and reward. On the records and rolls
of honor of the three countries there APP
pear many an honored Jewish name; Ri
cardo and Disraeli in England, Cremieux
and Fould in France, as statesmen, and
many others as brilliant in mnsic, litera-
ture, science, and art.
A.. In reviewing the history Of this scattered
people, one is struck with astonishment at
their fortitude under persecution, and their
undying faith in the promises concerning
their restoration to Gods favor.
Perhaps there is no other
people concerning whose history and re-
ligion the general reader entertains such
vague and misty ideas, nor is there any to
whom the world is so largely and import
antly indebted. To their excessive pride
OF race, religious ardor and consequent and
careful preservation of all genealogies and
records bearing upon their ancestry and
faith, we must sscribe our possession Of the
"Book of Book" which has been the chief
means of diffusing among men a knowledge
of the Almighty, His works, His will and
the wonderful plan of redemption through
His only Son, Jesus Christ.
