recently established at Alexandria, called
The Caucasian, edited by Messrs. G. w. Stat

the same thar killed Pakenham Leblanc in
his duel with George White, and Locquet,
when he fought Hiriart. Without conced-

Moses had hit him in one leg; in a
few minutes he gave a louder howl
and sat down, for Moses had hit him
in the other leg. Then Peter and
Moses shook hands, and Moses and
Peter went home, both gentlemen,
but Moses the best of the two, be-
cause he had a whole pair of legs to go
home with.
Southern chivalry has received
some useful hints from Moses and
Peter. Having met upon the field
of honor and exchanged twenty
shots, they are now, according to the
Southern code, gentlemen fthe first
water and twenty times better gen
tlemen than their white associates,
because they fired twenty times as
often at each other. For straight
out chivalry and determined pistol
courtesies, there has been nothing i'll
the South for a long time which
comes up to the gantlemanly conduct
of Moses and Peter. We commend it
to Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Foote, and to
all other Southern gentlemen who
have doubts about the status of
their neighbors as gentlemen, as a
sample of first-class business, with
out any unnecessary talk or letter
writing nonsense.

is shy and will not enter the door
which invites him, unless it is that
of stone front or other palatial
residence. He will not cbide unless
he can lounge on brocaded satin or
gold, see himself in mirrors, and sup
from Sevres china, and drink from
Venetian glass. He will not be bound
save by a diamond hoop, nor stand
for the sacred rite, except diamonds
and point laces with papa's check
for hundred thousand is among the
conspicuous wedding presents
these conditions fulfilled, he holds
his wings and nestles, like the luxuri-
Gus little elf he is.
Human nature, as God made it,
left to itself, is pretty much the same
in all classes, but in what is called
'society" it has larger requirements.
1t will not do to analyze motives and
feelings too closely. How the best
of us would start and shudder to
witness the dissection of those which
occupy our own breasts! There is
not one in this respect who does not
deceive him or herself. Love Of
ten becomes love by assimilation.
Few go to the altar openly avowing
they marry for any other motive,
although did once hear young
and pretty woman declare that when
she stood up to marry her husband,
she was so Indifferent to him-she
just as soon any other man had
been in his place. Stillit is thought
to be decent and respectable for
people about to enter into the rela-
tion of man and wife to feign a
feeling if they have it not. 1t is a
tribute the real passion exacts from
the false, and few have the hardi-
hood to decline to acknowledge.
There is a great deal written and
said about first 1oye-its sweetness
and strength and durability. It is
sweet; no one will deny that; but
did the sweetness of the first nectar
slipped away destroy your appetite
for future draughts? Did not the
remembrance rather stimulate your
desire to drink deeper?
Very few people marry their first
loves-indeed in Society" we might
almost venture to say thev never did
and they often have reasons after
wards to be thankful they did not.
"oh lady of my love, why did you marry,
And play the devil with my loves first dreami"
A man exclaims, and goes straight
way with an increased ardor, and
plunges into a second, and if he has
a chance, into third, fourth, and
fifth, for he holds that the Creator
never intended that this crowning
blessing of life should be confined
to youth alone.
In this respect society is often
wiser than the world at large. 1t
takes the goods the gods provide as
they provide it. The old story is
again and again told; there may be
a jar and twang in the telling; a
little ache or pain, but this is thrown
behind with the rest; new altar is
erected; and new homes planned,
and life in the future is more prosa-
ic than of old; believe me, women
have made it so; but though the
bloom in some eases may be rubbed
from the peach, the fruits still
round and good within. Life is still
begirt with manliness in its true
sense, on one side, and womanly
tenderness, modesty and devotion
on the other. When this ceases to
be the case, and novel and romance
no Longer turn upon love and mar
iage, we shall "need no story at

Brief ske.cn of nrr. sumner. Life.

Mr.. Sumner was born at Boston,
Massachusetts, January 8, 1911. His
father was a lawyer, and for many
years sheriff of the county. He was
educated at Harvard College, where
he graduated in 1880; studied law at
the Cambridge Law School; was adj
mltted to the bar III 1884, and enter
ed upon large practice; edited the
american JuriSt; published three
volumes of Summers Reports of the
Circuit Court Of tie United States;
gave lectures at the Law School, but
declined a proffered professorship;
and from 1887 to 1910 visited Eng
land and the continent of Europe.
On his return he edited Vessy's Re
ports, in twenty volumes, and in ls45
made his debut in politics in a 4th of
July Grafton on the True Grandeur
of Nations an Grafton against war
and the war with Mexico, pronounc-
ed by Mr.. Golden the noblest con-
tribution by any modern writer to
the cause of peace. Identifying him
self with the Free-soil party, he was
in 1850 chosen United States Sena-
tor from Massachusetts in place of
Daniel Webster, where he opposed
the Fugitive Slave Law, and declared
freedom national-slavery section
al" In 1856 he made a two days
speech ON the "Crime against Kan
sas," some of which was of violent
ly personal character in consequence
of which he was attacked in the Sen
ate Chamber, May %, and severely
beaten by Preston S. Brooks, and so
severely injured that his labors were
suspended for three or four years,
during which time he visited Europe
for health and repose. On his re-
turn home he was appointed Chair
man of the Committee on Foreign
Relations in March, 1861, and about
the end of 1852 was again elected a
Senator for six years, ending March
4th, 1869, and reelected in 1869 for
the succeeding six years. He was
author of the admirable resolutions
on foreign mediation which were
passed March 8, 1853, by both
Houses of Congress. At the close
of the civil war he advocated the re-
construction of the seeded States
on the basis of impartial suffrage.
During the rebellion he was the con-
fdential adviser of Mr.. Lincoln,
urged upon him the Proclamation of
Emancipation, was the author of the
Freedmen's Bureau Bill, continued
to advocate the cause of Republican
liberty, in opposition to President
johnson and his Cabinet, and wit
messed the triumph of principles for
which he so long and strenuously
contended. In 1869 he made an
elaborate speech on the Alabama
claims, which, through a gross mis-
understanding of his position and
claims This speech not having been
published in the English papers),
led to an intense excitement in the
British Parliament and throughout
the nation. In 1871 he opposed the
annexation of Hayti to the United
States, believing it wrong to the
people of that island, and was remOv-
ed from the craftsmanship of the
Committee on Foreign Relations.
His published works are, OratiO1as
and Speeches (ls5O), White StaUery
IN the Barbary States (ls5S), Recent
Speeches and addresses (l856), and
his Complete Works, volumes,
(l87O). See G.. A. Phelps, Life OF
Charles Sunamer (ls7O), d. Harsha,

ANECDoTE OF WAsHlNGTON.-It is
an extraordinary fact, says the New
York San, that the life of no man
of any age or nation who has risen
to greatness affords so few anecdotes
as that of Washington. The early
writers sought in vain among his
friends and neighbors for those little
incidents which SO often enliven the
page of the biographer. Among the
scanty number of anecdotes the fol-
lowing is one of the least familiar:
When Washington compelled the
British to quit Boston, Gen. Ward,
who was second in command, resign
ed his commission, of which circum.
stance Washington writes in a letter
to Congress-:
"No sooner is the seat of war re
moved from the smoke of his own
chimneys than Gen. Ward resigns his
command" Gen. Ward was elected to
the Second Congress, and soon after
his arrival at New York, then the
seat of Government, waited on Gen.
Washington and asked if it were
true he had made use of such Ian
guage. The President replied that
he did not know; but he kept copies
of all his letters, which he would ex-
anime and give him an answer. When
Gen. Ward called again Gen. Wash
ington acknowledged himself the au-
thor of the offensive words. "Sir,"
said Gen. Ward, "you are no gentle
man." and turning on his heel left
him, aud here the matter ended.
We have found that a sure way to
circpmYeat the man who goes
through the exchanges, and rattles
them when you want to think, is to
keep them in n basket, and throw
worn out pens into the same recep-
tacle. We made this discovery in
an accidental way, the other after
noon-having thrown a Gillett there
instead of out of the window-when
one of our numerous 'Squires, who
was going through the basket, came
up to the surface screaming like
choir, with a rusty pen driven under
one of his nails, and his face distort-
ed by unholy passion. We have
caught three more in the same way
since then, and every one of them
lost his presence Of mind.
