The Chicago Adcancc Of the DIST of june
says "Mr. Toombs has not vet called the
roll of his slaves under the shadow of the
monument OF Bunker Hill. But ON Thurs.
day Of last week, there occurred at that mem
orable spot, scene which General Sherman
pronounced the most magnificent pageant
that has ever been seen on the continent.
But to our view the most noteworthy and
significant event was one that took place the
day before. Among the three hundred
thousand strangers who had come to Boston
TO celebrate the centennial Of the opening
battle Of American freedom, was the Fifth
Regiment Of Maryland. How heartily the
10Th Of April, 1861, was--not forgotten. but
forgiven -was shown by the presentation ON
the part Of Post No Z, of the Grand Army
OF the Republic, Of a stand of colors TO the
Maryland regiments and, still more touch
ugly 10y the fact that ON their way to the
scene OF presentation. the Maryland soldiers.
quietly and without any public intimation
of whit they were to do, visited the soldiers
monument in Charlestown, erected to the
memory of the soldiers Of the city who had
fallen IN the war of the rebellion. and placed
upon it beautiful shield Of flowers, with the
inscriptions Maryland's Tribute to Nlassa-
chusetts.'"

ALARMED.-Professor Swing has evidently
but little faith in the inherent devotion of
the American people to the cause Of free ed
ucation. lie believes that battle for our
free schools is impending, deplores the ig-
norance Of many of our voters, says he has
depended on time and education to remedy
the threatening evil, but now looks to the fu-
ture with some forebodings While we adj
NIT that the common schools have bitter OPP
ponents to contend against, we believe the
masses Of the citizens Of the United States
are too enlightened, and have too great a
sense Of the educational benefits already
realized from the public schools, to see their
usefulness abridged, and think that all dan
gers which threaten them win be averted
and although vigilance will be necessary to
accomplish this good result, we do not an
ticipate it win be wanting.

Our national history has been 50 crowded
with important events that some Of them
have not received the recognition they have
deserved. Yorktown is without a monument
oommemorating the last battle of the reyolu-
tionary war-the great victory that secured
an acknowledgment of our national indie
pendence. George Bancroft calls attention
to this fact in a timely letter, and suggests
that il is not too late to have a commemora-
tive monument erected before the centen-
NAL of the battle

WIFE-KlLLING is the prevalent form of
murder and appears to be on the increase.
In some instances the uxoricides become
suicides, which is an unhandsome interior
ence with the rights of those philanthropists
who are SO fond of murderers as to labor
lovingly to save them from the gallows they
have won, or that has won them.

Political Conventions. - During the
next three months. political conventions will
be the order Of the day The necessity
should be strongly urged Of selecting mono
but tir,t-class men for office With good
men ON our ticket VIC shall win glorious
victory. With bad men. we shall be de
feated, as we ought to be. No question Of
party expediency should stand in the way
of putting good men in nomination. Office
should be given TO a man because of his hon
esty and general ability to I'll it with credit
to himself and the publc--not because of his
peculiar service to the party. Where integ-
rty, ability and political activity ave com
bined in one man, there will be 10 risk in
selecting him for any office of trust or profit.
Bat integrity and ability should be insisted
upon, as personal qualifications absolutely
necessary for a public official. If the Re
publican party throughout the country will
keep this high standard before them, we
shall enter the fall campaign stronger than
ever before. Our principles are good. our
party record is brilliant, and all we now
need is the nomination of men who will live
up to the Que and do no discredit to the other.

are l 900 to 1900 feet above the sea.
The transition is so sudden from
enormous, rugged, precipitous noun
tains, and deep, cavernous-looking
gorges, to a bountiful plain, dotted
over with villages and farm houses,
and the quiet little river winding
its way to the Danube through a
green valley, that fills the traveller
with enthusiastic wonder and de-
light. But the train does not tarry
long enough to give him time for
much observation and examination
of the magnificent panorama. One
is snatched up by the train and hur-
ried away, and all that can be done
is to stick ones head out of the
coupe, and take a hasty parting look
at one of the most beautiful pieces
:of scenery IN Europe. a
For time at least,
THE ALPS
are at last escaped. 1 have been
travelling among them all the way
from Trieste, 500 or 600 miles
to the southeast, on the Adriatic.-
Some people have an idea that the
Alps are confined to Switzerland; $
but this is a great error. The Alps
cover Eastern France, all of Swift
zerland, which embraces $4,000
square miles, and more than
half of Austria, besides tapping
over on Northern Italy, Western
Hungary, and Southern Wurtem-
berg and Baden. They extend from
east to west more than six hundred
miles in length, and have varying
width of 200 to 2hO miles, and cover
a space exceeding 10000 square
miles, or more than embraced in the
two great States of Illinois aud Iowa.
The Alps consist of a vast uplIft of
portion of the earth's surface,
which is broken UP into innumera-
BILE ridges, ranges, cones, and peaks,
like ocean waves, but of greatly va
rying attitudes, with the biggest
masses in the eastern end of this ele-
vated system, called Switzerland
Along their northern face or wall
are the highest plains of Bavaria; on
the east, the Danubian plains of
Hungary; on the south, for more
than 400 miles, the plains of the Pc;
and, on the west, the rolling plains
of Central France. The Alpine up
heavals are thus placed not far
FROM THE CENTRE OF EUROPE.
They furnish the waters of four of
the largest and most important -riv-
ers; the Danube, the Rhine, the
Rhone, and the Po, belonging re-
spectively to the four great nations
Of Germany, Austria, Italy, and
France. On the hill sides Of those
rivers are grown the best and the
most of the wine-grapes of Europe.
In their valleys are found most OF
the silks produced in Europe. Near
ly all the corn and much of the
wheat are also grown thereon. The
Alpine valleys are populated by a
hardy, Virtuousy temperate, honest
Industrious, brave, and liberty, loving
people. Such are the Alps and theil
surroundings. ie -2Hl-J. M. 4,

WHO ROBBED MADAME.

l had waited but few moments
when she entered.
The tasteful cap surmounting the
brown locks clustering in pretty
confusion of short curls about her
forehead, proclaimed her no longer
young, though the fair, blooming
face and shapely form were far more
suggestive of youth than Of cid age.
Altogether, Madame Leroux was a
lady of most attractive appearance.
She approached me with nervous
haste, her eyes fixed on mine. Isent
for you-you- -are-she faltered, al
most inaudibly, and then paused in
apitiable state of agitation, her slen-
der fingers slowly INTERVIEWING
themselves, and her whole frame
trembling. - .lss
Detective Ashton, 1 responded,
hastily drawing forward a chair.
She sunk into it, and by a silent
gesture invited me to be seated.
Presently she murmured in. a low,
quivering voice: Monsieur, I am in
great distress. My-and she again
paused, overcome by her emotions.

She gasped once or twice, and
then, controlling herself with a
mighty effort, answered tremulous-
.ly:

presently, in more even tones, Twill

arms. She then quietly asked:

ment is here, most certainly not.
1t is here, she replied, briefly and
emphaticaIly, as she closed the desk.
How many times have you been
robbed? ~
Nightly, for the past week, she
answered, eXcItedly. A large amount
was taken the first night, but since
then only few counterfeits which ]
deposited in the hope Of detecting
the thief without assistance. 7
Has any one under your roof s

of silence.
But onel she cried, bursting into
tears, and wringing her hand In an
agony of distress. -

THE ENIGMA OF LOVE.
HOBEEr DAVID SHARPE.

RoBERT DAVID SHARPE.
Love is a torture swift confusion
A glare a listening bubble
A fitting joy a short deiusion;
The source and end Of trouble.
Love is the broth of youthful hopes
The froth of earthly bliss;
A plant a stab thrust that copes
With heart thrObs in kiss.
Love is shadow, bright ph4ntasm;
A dreaming and u waking;
A blindness, deafness. a sweet spasm
A shudder and a quaking.
Love is a trap sudden folly
Truth, faith, regret, deceit:
A strength "a faintness melancholy
A victory defeat. su.
Love is a nectar sweet and clear;
The souls feast and starvation
A toll, fruiitiOn, burning lear
Divine intOxicaiiOn.
Love is balance grand and great
Holding the souls best treasures
Love is tomb where lie in state
The ghosts of buried pleasures.

WE TWO,
BY CHARLES KINGSLEY.

BI CHAkLEs klhGsLk1.
Oh that we two were Maying,
Down the stream of the soft spring
breeze;
Like the children with violets playing
In the shade of the whispering trees
Oh that We two sat dreaming
On the sward of some sheep trimmed
down,
Watehing the white mists stealing
Over the river and mead and town.
Obi that we two lay sleeping
In our nest in the churchyard sod,
With our limbs at rest on the quiet earth's
breast,
And our souls at home with God.
A NAMELESS GRAVE.
BY HENRY ". LoNGFELLow
"a aoldier of the Union mustered out"
Is the inscript on An unknown grave
AT Newport News, beside the salt sea-
wave,
SHOT down in skirmish, or disasteruus
rout
Of battle when the loud artillery drave
Its iron wedges through the ranks of
braYe
And doomed battsllons storming the re-
doubt
Thou unknown hero, sleeping by the sea
In thy forgotten grave With secret shams
I feel my pulses beat, my forehead burn
When remember thou hast given for me
All that thou hadst, thy life, thy very
name,
And can give thee nothing in return.
