Thereupon, the ladies also lost their
temper, and told the fellow if his con-

their husbands after him to enforce
the law, as they were anxious al
ready to do. his did not mend the

matter until nearly midnight, they

to his saloon, admitted that they had
been in the wrong, and asked his par

MUSIC INl,CAMP.
BY JOHN r. THOMPSON.

Two armies covered hilland plain
=, Whefe RappOhannock'sW waters ,l'"]
\ Ran deeply crinsoned with the stain
Ofbatte's recent slaughters.
The summer clouds lay pitched like tents
In mcads of heavenly azure;
And each dread gun Of the elements
Slept in it's hid embrasure.
The hrcezc so softly blew it made
No forest leatto quiver,
And the smoke of the random canonnado
Rolled slowly from the river.
And now where circling hills looked
down
With cannon grimly planted,
Der listcss camp and silent town
The golden sunset blalted:
Then on the fcrvid air there came
A strain, now rich, now tender,
The music seemed itself a flame
With days departing splcndor.
A Federal band, which eve and morn
PLAYED measures brave and nimble.
Had inst struck up with flute and horn
And lively clash ofcynbol.
Down locked the soldiers to the bank
Till margined by its pebbles.
One wooded shore was blue with
"Yanks,"
And one was gray with "Rebcis.'
Then all was still; and then the band
With movements light and tricksy,
Made stream and forest. hill ana strand,
Revcrbcratc with pixie"
The conscious stream, with FURNISHED
glow
Went proudly o'cr its pebbles.
But thrilled throughout its deepest How
With yelling Of the Rebels,
Again y pause, end then again
The trumpet pealed sonorous,
And Yankee Doodle was the strain
TO which the shore gaze chorus.
The laughing ripple shoreward flew
TO kiss the shining pebbles
Loud shricked the crowding Boys Ill
Blue
Defiance to the Rebels.
And yet once more the busle sang
Above the stormy riot
M shont upon the evening rang
Thee rcigncd holy quiet.
The sad lone stream its noiseleSs tread
Spread DER the slistcning pebbles;
All silent now the Yankees stood,
All silent stood the Rebels:
For each responsive soul had heard
That plaintive notes appealing,
So deeply "llomc, Sweet Home, had
stirred
The hidden founts of feeling.
Ofbluc or gray, the soldiers sees
As by the wand of fairy,
The cottage meath the live oak trees,
The cottage by the prairie.
Or cold, or warm, his native skies
Rend in their beauty DER him;
Sending The tcar-mist in their eyes
The dear ones stand before him.
As fades the iris after rain
In Aprirs fearful weather,
The vision vanished aS the strain
And daylight died together.
But memory, walked by music's art,
Expressed in simplest numbers,
Subducd the stcrncst Yankees heart,
Made light the Rebels slumbcrs.
And fair the form of Music shines,
That bright, celestial creature,
Who still, mid wars cmbattlcd lines,
Give This one touch OF nature.

rhe Lady Clerks Don't Like

The Washington Chronicle of this
morning says:
The Hon. Stewart l.. Woodford,
who introduced the bill to change
the hours Of labor in the Departments
from 6 aours to hours in the winter
and s in the summer, is in a fair way
to become either y hero or martvr.
Since the introduction of the bill he
has received about hundred letters
daily from lady clerks demonstrating
with him for his cruelty, and insisting
that ut was too bad; indeed it was, ;"
to ask them to work longer. A few
days since he visited the Treasury
and was "the observed of all obscrv-
ers, and was pointed out everywhere
as The "horrid man who had intro
duced that States prison BILL" and
before he left was waited upon by a
delegation of females and remonstra-
ted with.
The result is a weakening on his
part and a disinclination to visit the
fountain of our nation wealth.
There has been general caving in
all along the line, and the committee
are now unanimously agreed that SIX
hours are enough for any poor clerk
or clerkess TO write records or mani
pulate filthy lucre, and they will SO
recommend.
Thus, Mr.. Woodford having suffer
ed martyrdom, now becomes a hero,
and the ruilled imperturbility of the
ladies becomes placid again.

Returne now being received from
correspondence in tho cotton States,
indicate that in all those States, except
Texas, the area planted in cotton this
season is considerably less than the
area planted last season., while the
acreage OF corn is about corresponds
ingly Increased. There is very gena.
raj complaint of. the destruction of
the first ipIantipgs. both OF cotton and
corn, by the cool weather and high
water. Much OF the replanting hna
been accomplish III, but it is feared
that, owing to the ,lateness Of the sea-
son, a considerable area will have to
lie over. As far as can be judged from
the reports received. the stand May Is
was considerably below full average,
although the stand of corn was much
superior to that of cotton. Returns,
dated May 10, denote that. as a whole,
the spring sowings Of small grain were
yet in good shape, and the present
prospects, especially of spring wheat,
are fattering., Generally speaking,
this is true of winter wheat, although
there are from some localities oom-
plants OF damages resulting from the
bad weather. Complaints of the po-
tato bug are frequent throughout the
West, and form source of considera.

The LANDAUnRT BUSINESS When
Attorney General Williams gave up the
famous landaulet which brought his
overweening ambition to grief, it was
supposed that in due course of time all
other Government officials who were
sporting handsome eqnipages at the
public expense would follow his exam
pie. Since last winter attention has
been aeveral times called to this mat
ter, but there are number of high
officials who continue to defy puolic
opinion by drawing money from the
Treasury to keep up carriages fnr their
families. No less person than Sena-
tor Oonkling, of New York, has re-
marked that Senators have as much
right to keep carriages at the public
expense us any OF the department Of
hcials. This view seems to be rapidly
coming in favor, aud several members
OF both Houses now say thut they are
determined either that the department
officials shall stop this practice or that
congressman shall enjoy the same pri-
vilege.

Trade Use Of tho Religious Press.

TRADE Use Oh tho NellE lous Press.
The trustee in bankruptcy of the
estate of Jay Cooke & Co. will apply
to the United States Court in the Dis.
triot Of New York TO set aside con.
tract made by that firm with Bowen,
the publisher md proprietor Of the
Independent. in Brooklyn. This con.
tract provided that Bowen was to lend
the use OF his editorial columns and
otherwise exert himself to promote the
sale of the bonds OF the Northern Pa
cific Railroad. His compensation was
to be percentage in bonds and
stocks Oh the amount of bonds sold
through whatever channel. He did
receive $50. 600 in bonds and $3.50, 900
in stock, face value. The trustee re-
pudiates this contract, and asks that
the bonds and stock be surrendered to
the estate. The Court will have to de-
cide whether the trustee stands morally
in Jay Cookies shoes, and if not, whe-
ther the contract is immoral. II it
decides that it is. the bonds will have
to be restored to the estate for distri.
button among the creditors. The
question involved is one of much inte.
rest both to newspapers and their read.
ers. The Nation discusses it in some
general and just observations upon the
ethics applicable to newspapers. It
shows that newspaper, and especially
a religious newspaper, stands in very
different relation to its readers from
that of broker to his custo m ers. It
may lawfully recommend people to in
vest their money in particular way
The editor or publisher may sell bonds
on commission, provided he makes no
concealment as to the part he plays in
the transaction. So far, he stands on
safe ground. But the recommendation
to simple people by persons who havc
secured their confidence as religious
teachers OF Investments in goods which
these teachers have been secretly paid
for putting, is q practice which deserves
severe reprobation.
III the courts. says tue Nation. "can
be got to stamp it with judicial con-
domination, it will be solid gain for
the cause Of morality. There is O
great deal said just now of the influ.
