The Soldiers Widow.

She wept; and heavy were the tears,
That fnarrrd her aged lace;
For smiles had hong ~incr. n ID, and years
y gIief, uSurprd their place.
Nor was there near some friendly hand,
To wipe those tears away
For all alone on foreign strand,
Her only comfort lay.
He, fair of form, her beauteous boy,
Her TREASURE aud her pIid~;
Had grown io he the widows joy,
Close at the widows side,
As ivy, round a stately oak,
20 round her heart lac twiued;
And when the tie that bound them, broke
IL lett no tie behind.
But all around a desert seems
Her homs all blank aud bare;
Her lovely boy is la her dreaIns-
Alas! hes only th~Te.
"woe, woe the dnyl'' the willow cried,
"Ahi wO- the doleful day;
When he fOrSOOk his mothers eide,
Totoin in foreign Tray.
On yonder shore, where vultures start,
His faLhei 5 blood they stIrd
Aud he who gs'in' my youthful heart,
There fell among the dead.
No tender wife was nj his side,
His d. ing grief 10 share;
Oh. cruel faIel alone he died
Alone he peftshed there.
Frun my tursi heart THAT pain;
Yrl in my boy | daily traced,
The father DER again.
And as he grew loved to teach,
Or him whOss. name lac bore;
And OFT he'd ASK, ia simple SPEECH,
'Wtll father cUiiIe no mUre?"
But now no moreno, never more,
May the father trace;
Nor In the form oT iame he bore,
Nor In that lovely fitce.
Oh, cruel war! OF man the foe,
OF foulset hend the breath;
Thy loud delights are in our woe,
Thy glory-in our death
Oh happy they TO whom IN given,
To Tear thy mask away;
To show thy birth from hell, not heaven,
And iunOceuce thy prey.
A widows curse he on thy head,
Thou falls. and wicked one;
For thnu hast plunged among thy dead,
A husband and a SON."
The widow ceased: a solemn awe,
Ger All her features spread: .
lonk II again, then, startled, saw,
The soldiers widow-DEAD.

A GOOD STORY ABOUT LORD
REDESDALE.

Iheard rather good story the other
day about Lord Redesdale, Chairman of
Committees in the House of Lords, who
has recently been raised to the rank of
Earl. His lordship relates the story
himself, 80 it must be accepted as true
He dresses always in black, no matter
what the weather may be it is some
times a rusty black, and his neckties are
not Of the whitest, nor his shoes of the
neatest fashion, and his general appear
ance is not unlike that of a waiter or
butler. Early one morning he called at
the house of Lord c., in st. James
Square. He did not give his name, but
simply asked if Lord c. was at home
The footman, taking him for some gen.
tleman's servant, suggested that he should
wait awhile. He sat down in the hall,
and presently another of the men SER
wants produced quart pot, and asked
him to 90 to the nearest public house for
some "half-and.half." Lord Redesdale
took the pot and fetched the beer, and
finding when he returned that Lord c.
was still not to be seen, he remarked to
the astonished hunky, "Tell Lord c.
that Lord Redesdale has been here, and
will see him at Westminster"

JOHN SHERMANS PART IN THE
CONSPIRACY.

No one can read Mr.. Sherman's spec
ches without an overwhelming Convic-
ton that he was, while in New Orleans,
the associate abetter and confederate of
the forgers and perjurers, and conspira-
tors who assembled daily in the custom
house to manufacture false atfidavits;
that he counselled with and advised
them in their rascality, and that he is
STEPPED in the crime against the State,
and of which he has made himself the
boldest and most shameless defender, as
deeply as Wells and Anderson, and all
the swarm of more Insignificant villains,
from Supervisor Clover to Eliza Pinks-
ton. Mr.. Sherman's partisans, who
hope to profit by his disgraceful conduct,
may uphold and attempt now to shield
him; sooner or later he will stand before
the country an object of scorn and con-
tempt, as the confederate of the lowest
sort of conspirators and perjurers, more
infamous than they, because he dragged
through the filth into which he descend
ed to abet them the robes of Senator,
and gave to the crime of gang of mis-
erable political rogues the sanction of his
name and place.-NeaO Orleans Democrat.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 3l.-The powers and
privileges committee of the House drew
a larger crowd of privileged spectators
to-day than ever before, and the examin-
alton of two witnesses, as will be seen,
were very full of startling points. Chair
man Hewitt, who was in the committee
room prompting David Dudley Field and
and Maish in this examination, said after
adjournment: "If Mr.. Hayes is willing
to take the Presidency in the face ofsuch
facts as these, he is welcome to it," Col.
Pickett, the first witness, is well known
here as a lawyer at the Washington bar,
and best known before the country as
one who negotiated the sale OF the rebel
archives to the U. s. Government for
$4,000. Having been Consul at Vera
Cruz, an officer under Santa Anna, fill
buster in Nicaragua under Gen. Walker,
and colonel in the Confederate service,
he now turns up as a mediator between
Returning Board that is alleged to be-
willing to be bought out by either OF
both political parties for million OF dol
lars. The other witness, Maddox, Is a
notorious character AS he stated, ne
was born in Maryland, served through
the Mexican war, and then settled IN
New Orleans, where he printed the
Crescent newspaper for several years
II was during this time that he made the
ACQUAINTANCE of Welles. During the late
civil war he was a spy for the Union au'
thurities operating especially between
Baltimore and Richmond, as directed
through Col. W. P. Wood, who had, un.
der Secretary Stanton, supervision OF
this branch of the service, Maddox was
ostensibly a blockade runner, and car
ried supplies, drugs and other costly ar
ticles, which were supplied to him by
order of the Secretary of War, to Rich
mond. In return he was allowed to rnn
out of the ConfederaCy tobacco and the
like. All the time he was supplying
Stanton with information picked up at
Richmond. After the war was over he
turned up here with large claim against
the United States for tobacco, which he
said he had bought and had stored at
Fredericksburg, and which was destroy.
ed by the Union army at that point 1t
is said he has interested with him the
Young gentlemen who have since become
so notorious as members of Grants mill
tary and White House family. From
that time to this he has been working to
get his claim allowed, but whenever set
clement was about to be made persons
who had a knowledge of the tobacco
transaction would interfere and prevent
il, That he has interested with him a
host of Republican Congressman and
other officials of the class to which the
Hon. Mr.. Lawrence belongs, can scarcely
be doubted. At any rate he silenced
Mr.. Lawrence very quickly to-day, when
that gentleman attempted to cross-ex-
anime him about his appointment in
the treasury department, by saying that
he Iawrence) knew all about it, and if
any one would ask the question he would
not decline to tell the whole story.
