recipient of her just Indignation, for
those terse sentences of hers would
sting in the wounds they made till
life would be a torture.
Mrs. Haden has written for the

not to be unjust to the proprietors oil
the paper | can say that nearly one
half CT the subscribers for that paper

Mrs. +. L. Benedict is in her writ
ings the direct opposite of Mrs. Blad-
en- IN all but the excellence of her
productions. Mrs. Benedict is one Of
the sweetest faced, most amiable
hammered women in existence, and
she Is as pretty as she is amiable.
Her style of writing is marked by
grace and softness and finish, while
It carries its own quiet force.
Mrs. Benedict, though still q young
woman, commenced writing for the
press about twenty-five years ago,
and was connected Tor a long time
with the Dollar Monthly, and she
has written several stories and poems
for the Netc York Weekly aud other
papers; and Of late years has been
engaged on the Ciy Item, of this

editorial control of Caster's Fashion
emporium, aud all her friends say
that she is the only woman who
could acceptably fill the position.
Mrs. Benidict has no children, and it
is pleasant to see her and her husband
together. They have been married
several years, but they havn't got
done counting yet. In every respect
Mrs. Benedict is a charming woman,
as well as one of our brightest litera-
ry lights.

cause, Mr.. Finn 1urriedly jumped

turned. Mrs. Finn, all excitement,

hung over the bedside. Mr.. Finn,

The Potter investigating commit
tee in so far as it has progressed has
thoroughly disguised all honest peo-
pie, and made itself q laughing stock
for the country. Its first and import
ant witness-James Z. Anderson
on whose anticipated testimony it
was expected to make out the case of
fraud alleged to have been perpetrated
in Louisiana has admitted on cross
examination thatin his former testimo-
nv before the Senate committee be de-
liberately p~erjured himself, and there
fore nothing that be swears TO now
can be believed; while in the second
witness, Judge Leyissee-who was
one of the Republican electors, it
caught q regular tartar, rs that gen.
tlenan testified that instead of voting
a blank as Anderson asserted, he
voted for Hayes and Wheeler. writ
ing his name on the ticket so as to
be able to identify it; and further
that a bribe of 500, 600 had been
offered him to vote for Tilden. So,
this Democratic investigating COM
mittee has caused to be placed on
record the fact that it is trying to
sustain its ease by the testimony of
one of the greatest scoundrels of the
age, and also the i~nefaceable stigma
on it's party that it tried to buy the
Presidency for Tilden.

ASoufherHer's Views.

DAYTON, June 4-Henry Water
son of the Louisville Courier-JoarR-
al, lecturod in the city this after
noon, and addressed a large assembly
of veterans at the Soldiers Home.
He was introduced by Hon. c. w.
Hook, of Dayton, as Col. Henry
Waterson, who served the other
side Of the unpleasantness. He re-
ferred to the late wal as a question
beyond party or individual control.
Each man had done the best on
either side and what be thought
right, and If he were a brave and
true soldier, it matters little where
be stood. When the muster roll is
called God will not ask the color OF
the cloth worn by any victim. The
right of mar to govern himself is
above parties, hat have their day.
Were be an sutocrat, he would not
deal out Government b~eneficency
with a niggardly hand, but would
multiply Institutions like the Sold
ier's Home, nor stop at Mason aud
Dixon's line-hot till the veterans of
the South got a little with the rest.
In sober earnest be asked only what
be was ready TO give, and asked
nothing for himself. In republics
there could be no discrimination.
Quality was Indispensable. He
would pension every poor soldier,
and let politicians make the most OF
it. The quarrel dividing the veter-
ans was not of their making, and not
of their seeking. 1t has ended, and
all are once more soldiers of the I'm
ion, mutually interested in a com
mon country.

RICHMOND, Va, June l.-Two

the hands of a plucky widow, whom
they attempted &. rob, near Taze-

night. For several days past Mrs.
Becky Baldwin, a young widow liv-

observed three suspicinus-looking
tramps lurking about her premises.
Ga yesterday the three men came u
the house and requested the woman
to change a $40 bill for them, which
she did, but unfortunately displayed
a considerable amOunt of money in
their presence At a late hour last
night the trsmps again visited the
widows house. Mrs. B I'D win. see

doors. The men, being refused adj
mittance, battered down the door aad
entered. As two of the mea came

containing all her money Into The fire.
One OF the villains stopped to snatch
the money from the flames, aud as
he did SO the plucky woman dealt
him a heavy blow with an axe, al
most sesering bis head from his
shoulders. Que Of the mans com-
