A few of our usually reliable exchanges
were led into the error last week of attrib-
uting the difficulties in the South to the
imagination of northern electioneering
agents. We imagine they are convinced
by this time that they were greatly de-
ceived. Even the conservatives of the
South admit the outrages committed, while
endeavoring to excuse them. 1t is prob
bable there will be peace for while in the
South, occasioned by the presence of ma.
tional troops and alarm at the feeling man
ifested in the North, but we may be sure
that white and black republicans will not
be free to vote and talk until they are more
fully protected than at present.

Speskinp of a Western artist. a Cir

Speaking of a Western artist, a Cincinnati
critic says, sadly: "He possesses some merits
as an artist, but it is hard 90 say whether it
lies in landscape or marine painting; you
never can tell his cows from his ships, except
when they have their tails exalted when the
absence of spars betrsys their character.
Even then they may be mistaken for schooners
scudding under bare poles"

Voltaire and his Early Love.


The crowning event i'm Voltaire's life
as a lover was the sequel to the romance
of AuroTe de Livry. More than sixty
years had elapsed since he had seen her.
She was now over eighty years Of age,
and the only one of his loves still living.
He wrote to her, asking her if she
would receive him. The reply being in
the affirmative, he went. a Suisse in
uniform, as gorgeous as upon the former
occasion when Voltaire was refused ad-
mittance, now led him through the
magnificent entrance of the mansion,
and ushered him, breathless with
fatigue and emotion, into the presence
OF the Marquise de Gouvernet. For
moment they stood before each other in
silence, when NOltaire lifted her hand
in his to his lips and kissed it. "Ah! +!
mon amir she said, with a sad smile,
"what have you done with your twenty
years ?'i "Ah! how true ri sighed
NOltaire; zone dies every twenty years.
Happy are those who have lived them.
But i'll the retrospect neither you nor I,
Marquise, has cause to cOmmiserate
ourselves. My life has been a romance
easy to readi but yours, what an elO-
quent and desperate struggled You
took up the war of the Titans."
ALAS J" she replied, 81 would gladly
give my mansions, my farms of Beauce
and Bretagne, my diamonds and my
carriages, with my dear old Suisse in
cluded, to live one more hour of my
beautiful life" Sand /" responded
Noltaire; 81 would give my tragedies
and my epic poems, my histories aud
my stories, all my past glory, all my
rights to live in pOsterity, with my

take from your lips only one of the
kisses of those days. Then they sat
down to talk over their six weeks dream
life that lay so far away back in the
past, but which shone through all the
mist of more than half century.
Youth, beauty and passion were dead;
only tile past was left to them. What
a moment in their lives !-Gdtary for

Women in England.

Some information Of great Interest to
woman, as well as some kind and faith
erly observations respecting her, will be
found in the General Report of th Cen
sus, 1871, lately issued. As girls and
women of all ages, says the report, now
constitute more than one-half the popu-
lation of England, their occupations are
of vital importance; 3 3,94S,52T are wives,
and large proportion are mothers.
This, adds the report, Is noble and es-
sential occupation, as OH the husbands
labor and watehfuiness depend the ex-
istence and character of the English
race. But In all stages of human prog
ress women have had, besides these,
other employment; and in Europe now
they are seen burIiened and tOiiing in
the fields, as women were once found
toiling underground in English mines.
Engaged in spinning and weaving in
heroic times, in cookery and surgery in
the age of chivalry, their employments
are now becoming infinitely diversified;
married woman of industry and talent
aids her husband in his special occupa-
tion, or she follows different lines OF her
own; even when she has children this is
possible, for IL is only in a few cases
that the whole OF q wOman's lifetime is
filled upwith nursing and housekeeping
Women unmarried always exist in
great numbers, and will continue to ex-
ist at all ages, who devote themselves
to works Of utility or charity, and to the
arts, for which they have a taste, in
which they often display extraordinary
talent, and for which they get as well
remunerated us men. In literature and
song women have always excelled.
There are certain walks of athletic life
from which women are inflexibly ex-
cluded; whether with advantage with
out drawbacks it is difficult to say.
They are also excluded, wholly or in
great part, from the Church, the law,
and medieine; whether they should be
rigidly excluded from these professions,
or be allowed-on the principle of free
dom of trade-tO compete with men, is,
the report Informs us, zone OF the ques-
tiOns of the day.u In the meantime,
however, the facts Of the census afford
inquirers some help. they show that,
without counting wives so returned at
all, the number OF women of the age of
fifteen and upward engaged in specific
occupations, and no doubt earning
wages or profits of some kind, were s.
453,6Sl The number so returned at cor
responding ages in 1851 were 2,6j2, $50.
The increase of twenty years was sol ,02l,
and was at the rate of 80 per cent, or
l.33 per cent. annually. This exceeds
the rate of increase among the residue,
which was only LOS per cent. annually.
Thus noiselessly there has been a rapid
increase in the numbers and the pro-
portion of women engaged specifically
in productive work. Add the wives,
and the proportion so employed will be
little less than the proportion Of men.
There is no evidence of the increase of
idle women, nor is any mention made OF
the number of women engaged in "wor-
Titing man"

He dresses in black. His clothes are
we'll made and fit him perfectly, His
only jeweIry consists of plain gold
watch, worth about $500, which he sell
dom disturbs from its place in his vest
pocket. He lOathes all unnecessary
personal adOrnments. Three small,
plain, linen-covered buttons appear on
his shirt bosom. No watch chain is
visible. He wears n black beaver hat,
which weighs half pound less than
the heavy, gray stove-pipes fashion or
dains shall be worn this summer. His
hair, of a reddish gray, is neatly dressed
at all times His beard, which is more
tinted with gray than his hair, is short,
and trimmed regularly so as 10 be kept
at the same length ali the year round.
Where q cumbersome mustache ought
to be, hair is never permitted to attain
more than days growth. He Is of a
slender, though compact physique. His
complexion is ruddy, and bespeaks the
best of health. He always looks as if
he had just left the toilet table. This
man is seventv-four years of age. In
conversation his keen blue eyes are
never for an instant taken off yours.
His face bears the impress of prudence,
discretion, self-coniidence, calmness
impossible to ruffie, and above all, of
honesty and truthfulness. He never
speaks loud enough to be heard ten
steps from where he stands. Eaves-
drOppers cannot catch even the sound Of
his voice. He shakes hands with you
cordially, nay, even warmly. He Is
courtesy and pOliteness itself His con-
versation is always couched in the re-
fined language of the educated gentle
man. He uses no slang. He is witty,
and at times vivaciOus. He is no tee
totaler; he drinks only at meal hours
His favorite wines are JOhannisberg,
from Prince Metternich's private vine
yard, the like of which is not easily
found in this country; he is fond of
Sherry and Madeira; his wine cellar
contains probably the choicest collection
of wines in America. This mans
wealth is estimated at one hundred mil

Our Great Northwest.

The wonderful strides OF the extreme
northwestern portion of our great eoun-
try, are among the most gigantic the
world has ever witnessed, and il seems
almost like reading a fairy tale when
we scan the papers from that far-off
land. We take il that the newspaper is
the best index OF the progress of any
people or country, and Judging from the
character OF, aud ability displayed i'm,
the journals from the State of Oregon
for instance, we feel not only a degree
of pride which only an American may
justly feel, when viewing his own, and
comparing il with other countries on
the globe. In examining these news
papers, we cannot fail to perceive that
the elements of greatness, advancement
and progress exist to the most astound-
ing degree in that State, so lately taken
into the sisterhOOd Of the Union. Port
land, the commercial capital, with
population of about 10000, boasts of all
the elements OF all the older and larger
cities of the East, and the press of Port
land stands forth in a prominent degree
of respectability and Intelligence. To
the best of our knowledge, the city has
no less than five daily papers, all of
them conducted by most excellent talent,
and all of them exercising an extraordi-
nary influence upon the community at
large, being well supported by the peo-
pie, thus showing that the standard OF
intelligence compares most favorably
with that Of any community in our
country, aud indicating most conclu-
sively that the inhabitants of that new
country are self-cOnscious Of their great
ness and power.
But six years ago Oregon was still
without railroad. To-day she has her
lines running in every direction from
the city of Portland, and but for the
failure of Jay Cooke & Co., might within a
very few years have been connected with
the East by a continuous chain of the
iron highway. One rather unpleasant
feature in her railway system seems to
exist in the fact that it is controlled by
one selfish, ambitious man, and this is
q drawback upon the prosperity of the
growing State, which is keenly felt by
the people, and doubtless tends In n
great measure to retard their onward
strides to greatness.-Loolcdster Reuie10.

The remains of a woman, which had
reposed in a grave in the cemetery near
Wheeling, w. Va, for six or eight
years, were recently disinterred in order
to remove them to another place. Much
difficulty was experienced in raising
them, the weight was so excessive. On
opening the coffin the body was found
from the neck to the feet to be q perfect
specimen of petrification. The form
was full and sound; the feet, which
were incased in CATERS, filed them as
completely as a living subject, and the
hands and arms We're plump and hard.

ANTIQUITY Of Man.

The attention of geological AMI ethno-
logical students is now strongly directed
to the discovery of proofs of the an
tiquity of man, and il was announced
not long since by Sir John Lubbock that
the Miocene Tertiary strata of the Dar-
danelles, near ConstantinOple, had Of
fered evidences OF man at a depth of 500
feet from the surface, consisting of flint
implements, bones split lengthwise, as
if for purpose of extracting their mar
row, and more noticeable still, bone
having engraved OF it the picture of an
animal. The locality has lately been
examined by Messrs. Washburn and
Forbes, of Hobart College, Constantine
Pile; but the results are by no means
such as to warrant the conclusion that
we have here evidences of the hand of
man. The supposed flint implements
are regarded by them as merely water
worn fragments, which abound in the
pebble beds there. The splitting length
wise of the marrow bones may have
been the work of beasts of prey. since
the bones of sheep found i'm the retreats
of jackels in that region are split in
similar manner. It was, however,
pointed out that the splitting may be
due to natural causes, inasmuch as a
whole bone found i'm the same deposit
was found to split lengthwise by
slight shock, when it presented the APP
pearance Of the split ones which accom-
panied it. As regards the supposed en-
craving on what is perhaps the bone of
a mastOdOn, it consists of rude markings
which show very little evidence of de-
sign, and are probably due to some nat
ural erOding action. The surface of
limestone bed near by was found to be
covered with somewhat similar mark
ings, which by the help of a little
Imagination could be shaped into figures
of animals, Greek letters, etc, but were
probably no more artificial than the
traces on the bone. In conclusion, the
authors remark that the Miocene depos-
its of the Dardanelles offer no evidence
of the antiquity of man.

NOBLE LIVES.

There are hearts that never falter

There are ranks which never alter .. ..

And the agony OF sharing
IN the nerceSt OF The strife,
Only gives a nObler daring
only makes gTander life.
There are those who never wesry
Bearing suffering and wrong;
Inough the way IS long and dreary
II Is vocal with their song;
While their spirits in Gods furnace
Bending TO HIS gracious will
Are fashioned in purer mould
by MS loving, matchless skill.
There are those whose loving mission
lis 70 bind the bleeding heart:
And 10 teach the calm submission
Where The pain and sorrOw smarT
They are angels, bearing 10 as

While the night Is nearing to Us
And lies better trials cease.
There are those who battle sland.r
Envy, Jealousy and hate;
Who would rather die than ndnder
To the passions OF earth's great.
And no earthly power can crush them;
They dread not the tyrant's frOWu.
Neither fear nor favor hush them,
Never bind their spirits down.
These, these alone are truly great:
These are the cOnqueIOrs OF late.
These truly live: tuey never die
But clothed with immortality,
When they shall lay their armOr down
