- The worst case of selfsliness that ever

THE SONG OF THE CAMP.

Give us q song! the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
While the heated guns of the camps allied
Grew weary Of bombarding.
Give us q song! theguardsmen say,
We storm the forts tomorrow;
Sing while we may, another day
May bring enough OF sorrow.
They Law alongthe batteries side,
Below the slumbering cannon,
Brave hearts from Severn and from Clyde
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang of love and not Of fame;
Forgot was Britain's glory;
Each heart recalled a different name,
But all sang Annie Laurie.
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Swelled like an anthem, rich and strongs
Their battle ewes confession.
Dear girl! Her name he dare not speak,
But as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldiers cheek
Washed off the stains Of powder.
And once again, q fire of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters,
Mid scream of shot and burst of she'll,
And believing of the mortars.
And Irish Norah's eyes are dim,
For singer dumb and CORY;
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of Annie Laurie.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunsets cmbers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
All! soldiers, to your honored rest,
Your truth and valor bearing,
The bravest are the tenderest,
The loving are the daring.

NEGRO AND N1GGER.- The London cores
pendent of the New Yorl: Tribune says: "Peo-
p!o here say 'nigger.'" From this it would
seem that the mistake is not confined to the
Southern States, if indeed it is a mistake.
1t is certainly nearer to the classical
standard than negro, and with the omis-
sion of one :'g," ), would oI be the genuine
Latin word niger" The "i'' being short in
'nigger," the double "g" makes The pronuncia-
tion in English original, and possibly owes its
introduction to that fact. But after all, the
word is only designed to define color--black
and the opposite of white and among the
genuine Africans of the West Indies is in much
higher repute than the word 'colored," which
they apply in scorn and contempt to lnulattoes,
hybrids, bastards and other inferior breeds
One of the blacklist members of the last Legisla-
ture of Virginia took the same view of the mat
ter, and, in debate in the House, always spoke
of himself and his race as Triggers" A rose
by any other name would smell as sweet

don't be nonsensical, if you please, "
said Mr.. Shipper. you know I'm
going to die. You knew that when you
came here to nurse me. DIR. Portent told
me what was before me, point-blank, and
understood me well enough TO know
it wouldn't frighten me. I've made my
will, set things to rights, and am all ready
to go when my time comes. What tell
you to do is TO send for Anna Maria Ship

body: I've left her something. Here,

Maria Shippen, No. street, Hopkins
vile land don't forget to tell her I've left
her something"
"No, sir, L WON'T" said Mrs. Petting,
putting her handkerchief to her eyes.
Then she wrote the address of Anna
Maria Shippen on a card, put it in her
pocket, and very soon found an oppor-
tunity to communicate the news to the
landlady.
"Mr. Shippen has made Miss Ship
pen his heiress," she said, stirring the
broth for the invalid, in little stew-pan,
while the landlady looked on. "Miss
Anna Maria--he gave me her address
awhile ago, and told me to send for her
as soon as the breath was out of his body.
Do you know her, Mrs. SMITH

How General Grant Nearly Cheated
Destiny.

After Shiloh, General Halleck came
and took the field, and General Grant.
after winning this battle, was " substan-
italy left ont and was named second in
command, according to some French no.
ton, with no clear, well-defned command
or authority. For more than month
Grant thus remained without any appar-
ent authority, frequently visiting me and
others, but rarely complaining but
could see how deeply he felt the indigni-
ty, if not the insult heaped upon him"
This overshadowing of Grant continued
for short time and evidently moved
Shermans sympathies toward his com
mander. One evening he learned that
Grant had asked for thirty days leave,
and was going to depart the next morn
ing. "Of course we all knew" said
Sherman, "that Grant was chatting under
the sights of his anomalous position, aud
l determined to see him on my way
back. His camp was short distance off
the Monterey road, in the woods, and
consisted of four or five tents with sap
ling railing around the front. AS rode
up Majors RawIns, Logan and Hillyer
were in front of the camp, and piled up
near them were the usual effects and
camp chests ready for starting in the
morning. 1 inquired for the General,
and was shown to his tent, where found
him seated upon camp-stool, with some
papers on a rude camp table. He seemed
TO be employed in asserting letters and
tying them up with red tape into con-
venient bundles. After passing the usu-
al compliments L inquired if it were true
that he was going away. He said,
Yes then inquired the reason. He
said, Sherman, you know. You know
that am in the way here. L have stood
it as long as can, and can endure it no
longer. inquired where he was going
to. He said, est Louis. then asked
if he had any business there, and he
said, Not bit then begged him to
stay, illustrating his case by my own.
Before the battle of Shiloh L had been
cast down by mere newspaper asser-
ton of crazy. But that single battle,
had given me new life, and now I was M
high feather. l argued with him that if
he went away events would go right
along and he would be left out, whereas
if he remained some happy accident
might restore him to favor, and his true
place" The result was that General
Grant remained, and in a short time, by
the removal of Halleck to Washington,
became the commander of the army

Youth i'm Age.

In one of Bret Harte's condenge6
novels there is chapter on the old age of
French women. 1t is not too long for
quoting 50 here it is: ga French
woman never grows old" That is all
the beginning, middle and end. But if
this be true, does it depict desirable
state of thingsl Would one like, if one
could, to pass straight from the tumult
of youth TO the passionless stiffness of
DEATH Shall we not welcome, rather,
the quiet years when the cares of this
world are slipping gradually from our
weakening fingers, when we sit calmly
in the twilight of life's day and await the
night A bewigged or dyed old man
painted and repaired old woman
these are not lovely objects. But the
dgnitied, portly old gentleman, with
his white hair and his kindly face,
attracts us I; and the gentle old lady, with
her snowy kerchief folded across her
breast and her quiet eyes filed with
cheerful memories, wins our hearts. Old
age has It's own pleasures, but it seeks
vainly to partake in the pleasures of
youth. Dancing days are over, after
awhile bustling days, days of eager,
hurried strife after gain-they are all
past but there remain some quiet hours
IN which to say to ourselves that all is
vanity in which to remember and re-
consider and forgive. But if it were
possible to cheat the world and our
selves into a belief that we were still
young, we should be the losers. What
discord in nature were that day which
had no lengthening shadows of after
noon, no glory of sunset, no still night
which heralds the dawn of new life

California Gold.

The gold of California was noticed by
early Spanish explorers, and was again
discovered on the Colorado river, just a
century since, in 1775, but attracted no
attention till its re-discovery in lS4S,
when the existence of very rich gold al
luvions was made known. A rapid i'm
migration to the region at once followed,
and il was reported in August of that
year that the daily production OF gold
was from $50, 900 to $40, 900.
1t was not until 1851 that the gold
bearing veins were discovered, and the
larger part of the gold of California has
been got from the placers, as the alluvi-
ons are called. II is from the partial ex
haustion of these that the production has.
of late years considerably diminished.
In 1S48 twas estimated at SIC, 1000, 900,
and reached its maximum of $65, 900, 900
in 1853. In 1870 it had fallen to $25,-
OOO. 600, and reached S19, 900, 900 in 1873.
but rose again in 1874 to $20, 800, 900.
The total yield since the opening Of the
mines in 1S48 amounts to more than 81
OOO, ,OO0,0 The working of the gold
bearing veins and of the deeper alluvions
or placers has of late years been SYSTEM
atized and greatly improved, and from
the abundance and richness of these, and
the persistence of the veins in depth, this
region may be expected to produce great
amounts of gold for generations to come.

Grizzly Grumbler's Advice.

Ny DEAR FELLOW -GRUNBLERs Poets,
philosophers, and fools, i'll all ages, have
been writing and preaching on the art of
being happy, without mighty sight of
seats to their ministry, 1 guess.
But, as many can't be satisfied unless
miserable in body and mind, 1 am going
to show all such persons the several
means to be used for the attainment of
such desirable end.
In the first place, my beloved winners,
in order to attain any end, you must get
up stiff resolution and determination to
conquer. Yes, my hearers, you must
set down your foot, grit your teeth, let
your resolution be as stiff as boiler r-plate,
let you tirmness be as unwavering as the
rocks of Gibraltar. Be determined to
be miserable, and you shall get your de-
sires. Never mind what people tell you
about the bounties of Providence and
the beauties of Nature-the balmly
breezes of spring, the twittering and
warbling of birds-you must sheer off
from them Ike wealthy upstart from q
poor relation.
Put on a sour, savage, snapping-turtle
physiognomy look daggers, and act ou
your feelings this s the first great
commandment with misery. Think that
you are the most forsaken mortal that
misery ever held mortgage ON. Hate
mankind call 'em liars, cheats, swim
dlers, Williams. Look at everything on
the wrong side. If it has no dark side,
make one, just so enjoy yourself looking
at it. Take it for granted that everybody
about is especially interested to torment
you. Fight everybody and everything.
You can't hit amiss. The world is all
,Orong. Everybody is william but
yourself and it is your duty to teach
mankind manners. Go at 'em. You can't
fail to be miserable.

THEKU.KLUx asEs.


q Our dispatches from Memphis an
the discharge by the United
States Court at Memphis, Of the So
called Gibson county Ku-Klux. Thus
ends the miserable attempt Of certain
intermeddling Federal subOrdinates to
make political capital out Of an aggra-
waited violation Of State law. That
the laws Of the State were grossly vio-
lated no one viii deny. That the State
authorities took the promptest and
most effective steps to bring the often
ders to trial and have them eondignly
punished is equally uudeniable. But
success IN this might have given the
lie to the Bdical charges made
throughout thesNorth in the campaign
Of last fall thst Democratic officials
were Ieagued with Democratic citizens
ina grand conspiracy to extirPate the
negro race. sHence the indecent haste
with which West Tennessee Radicals,
rushed in-and arrested indiseriminate-
IN a large number Of the citizens of
Gibson county. and hurried them be-
fore the United States Commissioner
at Memphis. They wGe, of course
held to appear before the court. At
the Noyember term JSdge Bal
lard quashed the principal
counts in the indiekmentsagainst them.
Now they are discharged, upon the
suggestion .f the presiding Judge
from an Indictment B5re conspiracy to
hinder the State authorities from Sc
curing to every citizensthe equal pro-
lection Of the Saws. It is very clear
that if there was any one guilty under
sn Indictment, such as has been Just
disposed of at Memphis, it was those
Radical Intermediates who had the de-
PENDANTS in those cases taken from the
custody Of the State authorities. 1t
was these Intermediates who inter
posed for the vilest partisan purposes
10 prevent the State authorities from
securing the equal protection of the
laws toseYery citizen.
