wicked cease from troubling and the weary
are at rest"
We are sometimes accused of Haunting
the bloody shirt for political effect; of re-
viving memories which ought to sleep in
forgetfulness; of dragging before the star
tied and unwilling eyes of this age the
CHASTITY skeletons of horror which. but for
our persistence would have been forgotten
before now. But this to- day is no mere
memory. This is no buried horror just
now newly exposed for tragic effect This
woman, whose weary body we to-day carry
to a new-made grave, is almost as much
the victim of Southern cruelty as though
some assassin's bullet had pierced her
heart. They have killed her. They have
loaded her with horrors until her frail
body could endure it no longer. Indiana
polls is called to-day to the task of bury
ing one of the victims of Southern hate,
and the victim is a woman. And what of
her only surviving male relative? Is this
some ancient terror, some forgotten wrong
but just now Iestated for effect? His
wounds are not yet healed; they are almost
fresh enough to be CHASTITY. Scarcely three
months ago he was as well as any of us,
and now he is SO helpless that he cannot
wipe away his own tears.
And this America, "the land of the free
and the home of the brave the land whose
historic boast has been its Southern chiv
airy; the land where men can think what
they please, and speak what they think;
the land where more has been said about
freedom and the rights of man than has
been said in all other nations since time
began. Oh, how the eloquence of these
mute lips rebukes and scathes us in our
Boosting. Our talk of freedom is sar
casm. These white lips do mock at us.
Freedom for the South yet waits natal
day.
/ am sure l say only what these lips
would say could they speak, and only what
this brother will approve, when ask, not
as partisan, but as man, Has the time
come for as to elecate this prescription into
popers Shall we dare, with these facts
before us, to enthrone the political princi-
pies with which these assassins are identi-
fed? Shall we give to such gigantic and
bloody wrongs as these the sanction of a
political victory? 1t becomes us to con-
slider the question, not as partisans, but as
men who love freedom and as Christians
who love God.

OUR TRAVELLING CORRESPONDENT.
CHICAGO, ILL, July 16, 1876.


DEAR MIR. WHIG-Though it may seem
to some of your readers that "Pretzel -

at $50 this morning. Think of it-S00
miles in twenty-six hours. Our grandfath-
ers would have taken three weeks to have
done the same.
Having crossed the Alleghanies twice a
month for four years past-in all ninety six
times-the grandeur of that scenery is not
now so enhancing as to stranger; yet
Justice has never been done in language or
print of that continuous panorama for 352
miles along the Pennsylvania railroad, be-
tween Philadelphia and Pittsburg. Thence
through Indiana, on this my first trip,
was sadly disappointed. Instead Of beau
tiful prairie farms, ample barns and stately
homes, l saw poorly farmed, miserably-
fenced, low, swampy grounds, full of Ia
goons, the draining of which is simply an
impossibility, unless thirsty earthquake
should get along this way. To add to their
troubles, they've had rain enough lately to
make old man Noah think his flood was
simply mist. The corn fields are in good
boating condition, the corn looks sick, the
corners sicker, and oats and grass doing
spimmingly. Many crops of wheat not cut
yet, &c. The average wheat crop, as well
as oats, would have been large yield, but
the floods came and with them the hopes
and reward of labor fled. The corn crop
cannot get out Of the mad, and their hopes
are in tile grass. So altogether these Indi-
anians must have short profits for the year
seventy-six.
s P. M.-The shroud Of darkness pre-
vented my seeing much of Illinois, except
ing this second edition of Chicago Though
so much has been said and written of it, l
must say am disappointed as to its ele-
gance and magnificence in point of design.
While the buildings are massive in the
extreme, evincing a disposition to display
wealth and ampleness rather than refine
ment, elegance and chastity in taste or
architecture. They lack the finish of older
cities of less pretentions. The city to me
looks like an Overgrown country town.
But Chicago's people do not lack vim or
dash. They stand not on the order of
doing or going, but go and do ii. Hence its
activity in business, which is due entirely
to the unflagging energy of it's leading peo-
pie. Though like New York, it is sluggish
just now, it wont stand still long. On, on
they go; onward and upward is their motto
And some just now have an extreme upaoard
tendency here as elsewhere.

THE LEAF OF LJFE.-There's a certain
curious member of the plant family, very
common in Jamaica. I'm informed, called
the life plant, or leaf of life, because it is
almost impossible to kill the leaves. You
may cut one off, and hang it up by a
thread, where any ordinary leaf would be
discouraged and dry up. 1t will send out
long, white, threadlike roots and set
about growing new leaves. You may cut
off half leaf, aud throw it into tight
box, where it can get neither light nor
moisture (necessaries of life to other plants;
the spirited little leaf puts out it's delicate

out roots and new leaves, and actually
grow out of its covers. I'm told that
botanists who want to dry this pprtina-

hot iron Or with boiling water.
