WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, d. 9,
June 20. 1878.

At 6 o'clock P. NJ, to-day the first
regular session of the 45th Congress
closes. 1t has not accomplished the
good expected of it, and has been law
ish rather than sparing in the use of
the peoples money; but it has done
nothing that was dangerous to the
peace or dignity or liberties of the
country. All of the appropriation
bills have been made larger than they
should have been; various reforms in
the Government, promised on the
stump and early in the session, have
not been brought about the tariff has
not been simplifed; and no means
have been provided by which a repe-
tition of the theft of the Presidency
can be prevented. On the other hand,
the credit of the Government has not
been disturbed. subsidies have receiv-
ed no favor; and an investigation has
been commenced that promises to pre-
vent, more effectually than law could
do, any future attempt to deprive an
elected President of his Office.
Among minor matters, it is crafty.
ing that money was appropriated for
the payment of the Fishery Award.
To have neglected this would have
been dishonest. Provision was also
made for the payment of money due
for carrying the mails in the South
prior to the war. This latter amount
is not large, and the subject bad little
attention given it until blatherskite
Representative from New York made
it the text for wholesale abuse OF the
South. After that it was the impera-
tive duty of Congress to provide for
the payment of all such claims as
could pass the ordinary examinations
at the Departments.
4 Government has been provided
for.this District, and the General Gov
ernment very justly assumes half the
expenses. This will in few years
give property here real instead of a
merely nominal value as now, and will
in time cause the City Of Washington
to be what the Capital Of great and
powerful country should be.
From the resolution passed by the
House By a vote Of 23I to II. that no
Congress could. directly or indirectly,
except b. impeachment. interfere with
the title of a President declared elect

Story About Mr.. Lincoln.

The death of Mr.. Denton, Of Dele
ware county, Iowa, recalls story he
used TO tell. In the early days OF the
Illinois Central Railway the line was
not fenced, and one day two cows be-
longing to Methodist clergyman were
killed. Being sued for damages, the
company resolved to make test case
of it. The President Of the road direct
ed Mr.. Denton to take $500 in gold
and 60 to Springfield and retain Abra.
ham Lincoln whom he knew well, for
the company Mr.. Lincoln replied
to his request;
Il am sorry you didn't come yester-
day, Nick, for L have been retained by
the preacher and his friends
Denton explained fully the impor-
lance of the case to the company, and
then, pulling two buckskin bags filed
with gold out of his pockets, he put
them down on the table before the
lawyer with startling clink, saying,
"Mr. Lincoln, the President Of the
company authorizes me to hand you
this retainer OF 500 to take our csse."
Mr.. Lincoln jumped to his feet flush
ed with anger.
Nick Denton" he said. Il have
given ny promise to that preacher and
his friends, and the Illinois Central
hasn't money enough to buy me away
from lis side. don't know that i shall
ever get dollar from him-but I'll
do my best to make your company pay
for those cows"
Denton said he never felt so mean
and small in his life as he did at that
moment. And he used TO say that
Lincoln was the noblest aud best man
in America.

"The editor has lived to very little

from magazine style as Dickens from
Lord Bacon. Newspaper articles are
not studied-they are read-read hast

always read at a time when mems
minds are full of business. If they
have salient points these are remem-
bered. They make an impression that

A SOUTH CAROLINA TRAG.
EDY.
KILLING of n Man of Seventy
While EiOplng with u Girl
Of Twenty.

Walhalla Court House. South Caro-.
lima, was thrown into a Juror of ex.
citement by highly sensational elope-
ment and the subsequent killing Of one
of the runawavs.
For several months Col. Budd, an
old man upward of seventy years lin
his younger days prominent politi-
clan of Alabama,) had been devoted
in his attentions to Miss Ida Bruhneil,
a blooming and beautiful daughter of
we'll to do farmer in this county, liv-
ing about forty miles east Of this vii
lage. Ida was only twenty, and had
recently graduated at Northern fe-
male seminary. The girls father, who
is stanch old Democrat, objected to
the attentions shown his daughter by
her aged. but ardent admirer, more on
account of his political faith tha be-
cause of any disparity in the ages of
the lovers or Mr.. Budd's social po-
sition.
Night before last the lovers deter.
mined to consummate their happiness
by immediate marriage. TO avoid the
wrath of the girls father, Budd pro.
posed an elopement which was readily
acceded to by the girl, who, strange to
say, was madly infatuated with her
aged betrothed. That night pair of
saddled horses were waiting at the
Bruhneil mansion, and at the witchrng
hour of midnight Budd and his bride
elect, accompanied by male friend,
were galloping away at breakneck
speed in the direction of the Iennes.
see line, in which State the ceremony
was to take place. All would have
gone well but for the perfidy of the
girls waiting maid, to whom she cor
tided her plans. AS soon as the elop-
ing couple were on their way, this me-
gro girl informed her master of what
had taken place. Bruhneil had a
horse saddled, and armed himself with
double barreled shotgun, and went
in hot pursuit Of the fleeing lovers.
About l o'clock yesterday morning
he overlook them near place called
Ford ham Crossing, and hailed Budd,
warning him that if he did not stop
aud give up his daughter that he
would kill him. The approach of the
father only made the eloping party
more anxious to push forward. Budd
pressed on, and when the party at.
tempted to cross Fordham Greek the
father reached the brow of the hili'
fired at Budd, striking him in the left
shoulder, and killing him instantly.
The girl was taken in charge by her
father, carried back to her home and
put in charge OF her mother, and by
daylight the murderer had fed the

And then he talked strongly upon all

JUNE.
BY WILLIAM cULLEH BRYANT.

I gazed upon the glorious sky
Aud the green mountains round,
And thought that when came to lie
At rest within the ground,
'Twers pleasant, that in howery June,
When brooks send up a cheerful tune.
And groves Joyous sound,
The sexton's hand my grave to make,
The rich, green mountain turf should break.
A cell within the frozen mould,
A coffin borne through slest,
And ICY clods above 1t rolled,
While fierce the tempest beat
Away IL will not think Of these
Blue be the sky and soft the breeze.
Earth green beneath the feet,
And be the damp mould gently pressed
Into my narrow place OF rest.
There. through the long. long summer hours,
The golden light should lie,
And thick young herbs and groups Of flowers
Stand iu their beauty by.
The oriole shoula build and tell
His love. tale close beside my cell
The idle butterfly
Should rest him there, and there be heard
The housewife bee and humming. bird.
And what If cheerful shouts at noon
Come from the village sent.
Or songs of maids, beneath the moon,
With fairy laughter blent!
And what II, in the evening light,
Betrothed lovers walk iu sight
or my low monument
would the lovely scene around
Would know no sadder sight or sound.
l know, know should not see
The seasons glorious show,
Nor would its brightness shine for me,
Nor its wild music ilow;
But If, around my place Of sleep,
The friends love should come to weep,
They might not haste to 80.
Soft airs and song and light and bloom
Should keep them lingering by my tomb.
These to their sotened hearts should bear
The thought of what has been.
And speak Of one who can not share
The gladness OF the scene;
Whose part. in all the pomp that fills
Tie circuit OF tho sumner hills;
ls-that his grave is green;
And deeply would their hearts rejoice
To hear again his living voice.

Thinning ont Eruif.

1t may be considered somewhat early
to make suggestions on the subject of
thinning out fruit, but it can never be too
early to give good advice, and we think
as pear and peach trees are beginning
to show their products. the thinning out
process may be begun AT almost any
time.
1t is true the operation can be perform
ed conveniently only upon such trees
that are not over large. But il should be
especially attended TO in young trees
which frequently over-bear to the great
injury of the health of the trees, as well
Us the quality of the fruit. TO obain the
finest specimens, they should not be al
lowed to grow i'll clusters or in contact
with each other, and all that exhibit the
least impertection should be removed.
What is lost in number will be doubly
made up in size and flavor. This should
be remembered. Many persons regard
the thinning out of peaches, pears and
apples as so much loss but they are not
judges of fruit, and have no knowledge
OF ats proper culture. They want as large
~ crop as possible, letting the quality
take care OF itself, no matter how much
the tree is damaged and what effect it
may have on next years crop.
On some of our own pear trees we
sometimes remove three-fourths of the
entire crop, and afterwards find the tree
to grow more than was advisable. Oc-
casionally, with dwarf trees, we do not
allow more than one in ten to remain,
when the tree is small.
1t goes hard with some people to di.
| minish the quantity of fruit upon theiI
trees. Sometimes they plead want OF
time but this is not admissible, for il
they have not time to attend to the prop
er cultivation of fruit they should aban
| don II altogether. The real cause is theil
greediness. You can't maze them be
lieve that they are the gamers by de
stroying portion of the crop, saying
that nature is the best judge as to til,
quantity Of fruit. Such persons have nc
| practical knowledge of Embarrassing and
the sooner they give it up the better i
will be for them, their pockets and repu
| tation.
