And yet within the century that her life has fled

Three times her pure and peaceful brow the war god
rose to mock.
She bent beneath the discipline Of blood ari fire and

And, purified like saints OF old, her voice rings out
abroad

We cannot too strongly impress upon
young men the Importance Of abstaining
from everything which shocks their moral
sensibilities, wounds their consciences, and
has tendency to weaken that nice sense of
honor and integrity so indispensable to a
good character. ''Integrity of character.'
Who ever possessed it, that did not derive
untold advantage from it? 1t is better than
riches. it is of more value than diamonds
and allprecious stones;" and yet every man
may possess it. The poorest may have it and no
Young men, prize integrity of character
above all earthly gifts.

rML BEAUTIFUL BALLAD OF WASK A
WEE.

Her voice was -weet HI a ban-go-hn:
Her mouth was small as the head Of q pin;
Her eyee ran up, her chin ran down.
Oh, che was the belle of Yeddo town.
Now lovely Waeka Singty Wee
So good to hear, 80 sweet to see,
The fairest maiden in all Japan,
Fell dead In love with Turkish Maa.
This Turkish man 4 turban had,
This Turkish man was sly and bad;
He whispered unto Miss Waska Wee:
70 ny with ME to my own Turkee.
ooh fly with ME to my own Turkee.
And rObes of gold I'll give to thee
girdle of pearl and love for life,
II thou will be my eig ghtieh wife"
Now simple Waska Singty Wee
So good to hear. 50 fair to see,
Resolved behind her bashfll tan
10 be the eightisth wife Of this Turkish man:
But though her heart was full of slee
She hung her head and said to Ae:
If thou shOuld'st die. my Turkish bean,
Where would poor Waska Singty go9
Then this horrid, sly old Turkish man
Declared he'd die On the English plan.
"And So" said he, my bright winged bird,
Thou1t have for thy fortune the widows third"
Then dew the maid to the Mi-ka-io,
And told the plan of her Turkish beau.
And now" said she, 1.-The whole thou'st heard,
How much will 1t be, this widows third >"
Now the Mi-ka-dO was wondrous WISE
he opened his mouth and shut his ewes:
. The widows third, b daughter will be
Whatever the law will allow TO thee.
Then flew the maid to lhe Court of Lords
Where every man wore brace of swords
And bade them name what sum would be hers
When her Turk should 60 to his fore-fa-thers.
They sat in council from dawn till night,
And sat again till morning light
Figured snd counted and weighed to see
WHAT III eightieth widows third would be;
And the end OF It all, as you well might know,
Was naught but grief to the Turkish beau:
For lovely Waska Sngty Wee
said. go back alone to your old Turkee!"

A Horrible Suggestion.

They had small back room on the eight
story of Philadelphia hotel, and about two
O'Clock in the morning the great poet awoke,
and, punching his wife in the back, patheti-
cally exclaimed:
'Clotilda, darling, I'm troubled by the de-
mon of unrest"
Sidney Lanier, she nervously replied,
''get up and strike light this instant; per-
baps it's bugs"

The GrasshOpper Plague in MinneSOts

WINoNA, June "A gentleman just from
the grasshopper country furnishes the Repu6-
hc0n some interesting facts. He visited
! Marshall, Sketek, Burns, and other points
| along the western portion of the Winona & St.
Peter Railroad. Theyoung grasshoppers have
attained working size, and begun TO harvest
the crop. At present their operations are
! confined to strip OF country extending from
Burns station to Saratoga, near Marshall, and
covering territory fifty miles in length, ard
reaching in breadth from a line some eight
miles north of the Winona & st. Peter Rail-
road south to the St. Paul s. Sioux City road
The ravenous little hoppers are just at pres
ent about half an inch long, and will proba-
bly get their wings by the middle of this
month or the first OF July. They are making
clean sweep of the wheat fields, many OF
which look as black as when first sown. The
grain is from three to four inches high, and
wherever the pestiferous insects light upon it
tsched to u horse rake, caught forty pounds
of 'hoppers in the short space of three hours
near Burns Station. Corn is hurt some by
the grasshoppers, but not much. Many of
the farmers are planting their wheat fields to
corn now. Peas are also being largely
planted. The experiment was tried in the
spring OF burning over the prairie, in hopes
of destroying the Larvae, but on walking over
these burnt places the young hoppers may be
seen moving about as lively as ever. Dis
couraging rs these renewed scourges would
seem to be on the settlers, the general state
of that section is, on the whole prosperous.
Live stock is looking particularly well, and
the farmers who have engaged in stock rails
ing have been successful Excellent hay can
be secured in any quantity at very low prices,
and the cost OF Wintering stock is therefore
light Several good dairies have been started,
and are doing well. Immigrants are coming
in, particularly west of Marshall, and bust
ness at the various railroad stations presents |
"A very good showing, in view of all the cir

to me and told me his uncle had disinherited

It best, however, to confde all to mamma

it one of the conditions of his will that Frank

cOuntahie reason, had taken a dislike to me.
OF course when we heard this, my becoming

The next day Frank returned to town, in

accidentally overheard, declared he had lost
all faith in womankind, and that he should
never love again. But such is the incon-
sistency OF human nature, that two years
later. he fell in love with a very estimable
young lady, and as his choice was heartily
endorsed by his uncle, married her. 1t may
not be an unworthy addendum to mention as
the finale, that he had greater faith in uncle

ANOTHER MEMBER to the South Carolina
Legislature has been ambushed and assas-
sinated. This time the victim is J. F.
Rush, member to the lower House from
Darlington county. About six months since
the Hon. Joseph Crews, member to the
Legislature from Laurens county, vas way
laid and twenty buckshot fred into his
bowels. James F. Smith, another member
to the Legislature, was assassinated in
Barnwell county about four months since,
and no reward was ever offered for the ar
rest of the perpetrators Of the foul deed.
These men were good citizens, their only
offense being their answering devotion to
the principles of the Republican party.
How long will the General Government
stand aloof and continue to see Union men
and leading Republicans thus sacrificed,
where, from ineffciency or lack of inclina-
lion, the State government is powerless to
protect them? Never before in the history
of South Carolina have such outrages been
committed without the prompt issuing OF
proclamations for the arrest of the assas-
sins. But these assassins, like the slayers
of Caesar, are all chivalric and honorable
men.

gentleman of ability, of high character, so
far as we know. No one will deny that
he is both honest aud able. but we would
not vote for him for all that; and why
Because he holds to that notion about tariffs
and free trade which, If carried out, would
PROSTATE American industries in dust, and
make us nation impoverished to the last
degree. a. -
To intimate that this is q time in the his
tory Of the country when we may ignore
measures and run the machine upon men;
that it is only demanded now to have hon.
est and capable men, and establish per-
sonal government, is to talk nonsense.
Such consnmmation would be the realiza-
ton of machine politics. with VEN
gesnce.
The looked-for period when the best
men in both parties can be combined in one
party, leaving all the bad men out, has not
yet arrived, and will not come along till
about the time of the millennium. As the
world is, no party can rid itself of all its
bad men. 1t must cast them out when it
finds them in Office. This the Republican
party has always done. We challenge
proof to the contrary. NJ party can deal
more promptly with corruptionists than
has the Republican party.

FERDINAND MTNTEz PINTO, the Centennial
liar who writes from this State to the NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN, over the nom de plume of
"Harold, =" is an eI-member ofthe House ofRep-
resentatives, who was refused during last win
ter an appointment as trial justice, not because
he was not mentally qualified, but for other
reasons well known in the neighborhood where
he lives.
The above is clipped from that scurvy
sheet, the Union Herald, of Columbia, S.
c. The gentleman whose letters we pub
lish over the nom de plume of Harold is
a leading member of the South Carolina
bar, and has won honorable distinction in
other professions. 1t is not surprising that
Chamberlain's organ should be ready to
denounce Harold" when it is remem-
bered that he has proven thorn in the
lanks of the reform" monster, and shown
up the various schemes of plunder now
held in allegiance until after the hoped-for
reelection of Chamberlain and his unprin-
cipled allies

A WASHINGTON DISPATCH appears
in New York paper of yesterday morn
ing, and purports to give the sub
stance of Lord Derby's reply to Secretary
Fish's note about Winslow. We have
ascertained that the Department of State
received copy of Lord Derby's reply on
Wednesday afternoon, and that its contents
have not been communicated, as yet, to any
beyond the immediate members of the
Government. We feel justified in predict
ing that when published it will be found
that many things communicated in the
washington dispatch" referred to will be
missing, and must have been obtained from
some other source than from the note of
Lord Derby, or from the Department of
State. 1t is enough for us at present to
venture the opinion that the dispatch gives
the British rather than the American views
of the question.

MILTON J. DURHAM, Representative
from the Eighth Kentucky district by the
grace of his adhesion to the principles of
the secession Democracy, is also lawyer.
As such he defended Doorkeeper Fitzhugh
against the indictments brought against
Fitzhugh for alleged arson. 1t was to be
expected that the secrets of his client would
remain locked forever in the most inacces-
sible recesses of his memory, and guarded
by the spirit of chivAlry which permeates
every fibre of the physical being of Ken
lucky Democrat if not by due sense of
professional honor. We are therefore
somewhat surprised to learn from the
Record that Durham, in effect, declared on
the floor Of the House his belief that Fitz-
hugh was not fit to be Doorkeeper, and
that if he Durham) had been present at
the caucus when Fitzhugh was nominated
he would have warned his colleagues
AGAINST him. In other words, he betrayed
a knowledge of his clients guilt which
could only have been obtained through
that clients confidential communications

means only this, that the recognized leaders Of
the majority usually act in concert; and as they
naturally vote with their party associates, and
they prevail whatever is done is attributed to
them, and they are declared to act from unworthy
motives. Thus Mr.. Conkling and his friends
were said during the last session to have at
tempted to smother investigation. Nothing is
more untrue. They promoted investigation, but
they did, most properly, seek TO prevent per-
version Of Investigation. The Liberal" game,
as we stated at the time, was to appoint COM
at the head, to sit indefinitely, upon the eve eff
the Presidential election, with power to examine
and to print, and 50 TO hold prolonged hostile
inquisition upon an Administration which the
Liberals" sought to overthrow. It was the
prostitution Of Investigation" to q party pur-
pose that Mr. Conkling and his friends most prop
erly opposed.
Of an ardent temperament, Mr.. -Oonkling is
like Mr.. Sumner and like all great Senators in
our history, warm partisan. Believing that
the Liberal" detection would end, as it did end,
he and his friends in the Senate did not strive to
conciliate the recusants, nor stay to parley with
those whose purposes they knew. They declared
war, and have never faltered, and the result vim
dicates their prescience. The persistent asper-
sion of the Senator as q malign friend of the
President has doubtless prejudiccd many persons;
but they will observe that what Is said In hos
tiity to the one is vague as all that was urged
against the other during the campaign. Intrepid,
that binds his friends very closely to him, Mr..
Conkling will be returned with the hearty ap-
plause and sympathy of the immense multitude
In New York who voted for Gen. Grant, and who
despise the calumnies that are uttered against
the Senator.
