A Card from the Author OF "That Lass
O. LOMries.

1t seems necessary that a statement OF facts
be made respecting some books of niue which
have been, or are about to be issued by publish
ing houses other thanlmy own.
began to write stories when was sixteen
years old, and have written large number for
great many different periodicals, never dream
ing that they would be published in book form.
have written more for "Petersous Ladies'
Magazine" of Philadelphia, than for any other.
This magazine is not copyrighted" and con-
seqaently after their publication the stories
contained therein passed from the control Of
both author and publisher, and became-so, at
least, au informed-in the eyes of the law,
common property.
Soon after the publication of THAT Lass O.
Lowrie's," L received proposition from Messrs.
I. b. Peterson & Bros. of Philadelphia, desir-
ing sanction to reprint four or five OF the longer
stories that had appeared in "Petersou's," Of
fering copyright of 10 per cent on al copies
sold, though they said they had perfect right
to reprint without pay auytbiug. 1 replied

THE debate in the Senate Thanksgiving
day was not Of the amiable character which
BELTS festival of praise, but one passage in
it was very funny indeed, and that was the
rhetorical flight of Mr.. Gordon of Georgia.
Mr. Gordon proudly rose in his seat and de.
MED with scorn the allegation that the whites
had iutimidated the blacks. "I have heard
of such intimidation BEFORE" he said; $50
Ireland had intimidated England; so the
giant oak in the forest had intimidated the
descending bolt; and so Pompeii had intimi-
dated the bubbling, boiling crater Vesuvius." !"
Mr.. Gordon must have disregarded the advice
of his physician and taken wine at breakfast

AUBURN. New York, is agitated over a ro
nance that isn't at all nice. Cora Youngs,
who killed her paramour in brothel last
June, was tried for murder and acquitted two
weeks ago. She made many VOWS of good
conduct in the future, and the wife OF one o.
the jurymen was so interested in her that she
took her home. Last week the penitent wo.
man and the juryman ran away together,
and have not been heard from since. The
man it was, apparently, who needed refor-

THE Democratic Senators thought it very
wrong to investigate the circumstances at

HAMBURG BUTLER, who has the blood of
Marion and Perry in his veins and the blood
of score of murdered negroes upon hi;
hands, has been admitted to the Senate from
South Carolina. Thus "the Mississippi plan''
receives the approval of the Senate, and we
have foretaste of the results of Democratic
supremacy.
The Portland daily press., 1877-12-03

IF Senator Patterson believes the Demo.
Gratis succeeded in South Carolina by "crush
ing free ballot in the iron grasp of an armed
force" that their success was "the triumph
of might over right" how can he hold that
Butler was lawfully elected Senator? This is
question which Patterson takes good care
to leave unanswered.

the old bird had all her motherly in
stincts of alarm aroused, and with her
half feiged brood she sought safety in
flight. So it is with our children in
Texas. As long as we depend upon
some one else to defray the expense of
their education, il will not be done
but when we throw off our own coats
and go to work ourselves, depend upon
il, the security of undisturbed ignor-
ance will at once be destroyed, and our
happy children will fill the school
houses of Texas TO oyerhowing.
We need a healthy vigorous, progress
siye system OF public and free instruc-
ton, but we can never have it while we

philanthropist, and not until we resolve
like men to do the work ourselves,
which We are now vainly trying to IN
dnce others TO do for US. The school
which we voluntarily tax ourselves to
support is not charity. but commu-
nifty affair. The Peabody school is
purely charity, and if Texas wishes TO
train her children TO rely upon the
charity of Others for that education
which she is abundsntly able to supply
from her own resources. why then let
her accept it, but to our best Judgment
thespirit underlying such acceptance j.
wrong, and can only be productive Of
harm instead of good.
1t is time for Texas to take hold of
the school problem with the same man.
