Petersburg Pert1rbed.
lFrom the Index-Appeal Of yesterday
At twenty five minutes to IL O'Clock last
night the distinct shock Of an earthquake
was felt in Petersburg. The shock lasted
fully eight or ten seconds, and was accom-
panied bya dull, rumbling sound as deep,
distant thunder. The direction of the shock
seemed to be from the west to the east, or
probably from the northwest to the south
east. The houses In the city were yisibly,
and some of them violently, shaken, and
many persons were startled from their sleep,
and rushed to the windows to ascertain the
cause.
A few minutes past IL O'Clock second
shock was felt, though in very slight de-
gree. The noise was very distinctly heard,
but it seemed some distance off in the direc-
ton of Richmond.

IN WINE COUN-

We find in The Boston Nation
extracts from recent book, written
by Robert Tones, American Con
sui at Rheims, entitled That Cham

not total abstinence man, so that
his disclosures OF what he saw In
that country cannot be ascribed to
bias in that direction. This record
of facts completely explodes the idea
that there is less drunkenness IN
wine-producing countries than there
is in America. Rheims is situated
in part of France that is distin-
guished for the production Of grapes
for wine. Large quantities of wnar
is called champagne wine'' are
exported from that region. Mr..
Zones says of the people:
'The common people, brutalized
by Ignorance, are rude in manners
and given to sensual indulgence.
They are deep drinkers and gross
feeders" He also says of certain
festivals 81 have never beheld a

the theater, in the cafes and In the

disguised or not, put no restraint

product, Of which they are not re-

The influence Of the free drink

Mr.. Tones exposes by such dec
larations as "Rheims is one of the
most corrupt cities in the world. .
That it is SO, tie de cription of the
scenes witnessed at certain public
amusements furnish abundant proof.
Of the incorporate class he says,

she had a right to privacy. and she

SONG OF THE SEASONS.

Gaunt Winter fInging fakes of snow
Deep burdening field and wood and hill;
Dim days, dark nights, slow trailing fogs,
And bleakened air severe and chill,
And swift the seasons circling run
And still they change till all is done
Yuong Spring with promise in her eyes,
And fragrant breath from dewey mouth,
And magic touches for the hooks
OF budding flowers when wind is south.
And swift the seasons circling run
And SO they change till all is done.
Then Summer stands erect and tall,
With early runrise for the lawn,
Thick foliaged woods and glittering seas,
And loud bird chirpings in the dawn.
And swift the seasons circling run
And so they change till all is done.
Brown Autumn, quiet with ripe fruits,
And haggards stacked with harvest gold,
And fiery Pushes for the leaves,
And silent cloud-skies scft outrolled.
And so the seasons circling run
And still they change till all is done.
Swift speeds our Life from less to more.
The child, the man, the work ..the rest,
The SOLDERING mind, the ripening soul,
Till yonder all is bright and blest.
For so the seasons circling run
And swift they change till all is done
Yes, yonder-if indeed the orb
OF life revolves round central Light,
For ever true to central force
And steadfast, come the balm or blight.
And so indeed the seasons run
And last is best.when all is done.

from the Springfield (Mass Republican
Abraham LincoIn's Widow.

Abraham LinCOlD'S WIDOW.
THE TRUTH AND PATRIOTISM OF HER
CHARACTER REVEALED.
Your notice of the sad calamity
which places Mrs. Lincoln in the
Hospital for the Insane brings to
my mind some incidents which oc-
Cured in the spring Of 1864, that i
then vainly desired to give TO the
public. but which may now without
improperly be published. That
they may tend 10 inderjudgment
of one who has suffered much from
unkind criticism, ismy fervent hope.
1t was in that Spring that the
effort was made 10 serve the Union
cause, through the "Ladies' Ma
tional Covenant'---to purchase no
imported goods for three years, or
for the war;" 1t was my lot to call
upon Mrs. Lincoln for her signature
to the pledge. She impulsively
said she would give her name most
readily to it, but thought Mr.. Lin
coins consent ought to be obtained
before using it, and some delay was
created by waiting for an opportu-
nifty to hear from him. It was
while waiting for this that | had
an interview of nearly an hour with
Mrs. Lincoln-and [ came away
from that interview feeling that
aeveq had | found a person more
unlike the newspaper reports of her
than she seemed to be. We talked
much of the war, of slavery, and of
the death of children, as mothers
who had both lost children could
talk.
At that time Mrs. Lincoln was
charged in the papers with sending
information to the enemy by her
sister, who had recently been in
Washington. To me she said that
she had refused to see that sister,
although Generals Of the Union ar
my had been sent to solicit an inter-
view. II would not let her cross
my threshold, nor any one who was
an enemy of my country" said she.
Of slavery, and her own experience
of it, while she lived in slave
State, she gave me some very inter
esting recitals, and her expressions
were strong enough to satisfy any
abolitionist. [ remember that she
said: "Mr. Sumner says he wishes
my husband was as ardent an aboli.
zionist as | am" ] ventured TO al
Jude to the way in which she had
been misrepresented by the papers.
and that | thought the truth ought
to be told about her, particularly
that the charges in relation to hel
rendering laid and comfort to the
enemy, by her sister, should be con
tradicted. oh" said she, sit is
no use to make any defense al
such efforts would only make me q
target for new attacks. I do moi
belong to the public f; my character
Is wholly domestic, and the public
have nothing to do with it. I know
that it seems hard that l should be
maligned, and used to shed many
tears about it. but since T have
known real sorrow-since little Will
lie died-all these shafts have nc
power to wound me. I'll could lay
my head on my pillow at night, and
feel that | had wronged no one,
that is all have wished since his
DEATH" This was said with pathos,
and an emphasis Of sincerity, that ]
confess did not listen to with dry
eyes. She talked much, as mothers
will talk, of the child that had died,
OF the peculiar nearness and dearpess
OF the mothers boy as Willie
used to call himself, and I left hel
with my heart running over with
