omen field toward the house. There
they were, six men-seVen horses: the
empty saddle for the commander OF the
100000 men who were camped about In
every direction.
They approached to almost a stones
throw of the hou,e when they met me-
gro. They were discovered. 1t was an
old man whom these very men had run
away from Delhi not ten days before
He knew them all and Immediately gave
the alarm. In a moment there was 9
great tumult, and the six guerillas had
nothing to do but save their lives. They
broke through the field, and in the
twinkling of an eye we're back in the
woods, but not until hundred shots had
been fred after them. Before the sun
went down they were safe at their favor
ite rendezvous. Thus was frustrated one
of the most daring plots of the war. 1t
is not probable that Gen. Grant took any
particular notice of the affair; and 1t is
not at all probable that he has ever real
lied the valuable services of the old col i
ored man. What Interpretation the Of
fcers of the army put upon the presence
of the strange and hostile men at such a
time and place is not known; but If there
were any doubts as to their mission, this
bit of history may serve to remove it,

CONGRESSMAN MURcH, of Maine, was
interviewed at Washington on Sunday
last, by Post reporter, In reply to
some questions he said:
"For myself want to harmonize all
differences between the Democratic par
ty, or the mass of it, and our party, in or.
der to present solid front to the Repub-
lican party in 1880. 1t is part of the Re-
publican policy to keep us apart and
bring about triangular contest for the
next Presidency. We want to avoid
that. A three Cornered fight means vic
tory to the Republican ticket; consolida-
ton of Greenback and Democratic ele-
ments means overwhelming defeat for
them. Now, the difference between us
and the mass OF the Democracy are only
in details, and l am anxious to see them
hsrmonized. | don't care what name we
come together under, just 30 we Consoli-
date npon the right principles. l shall
be here all winter, with other members
of our party, and we intend to strive to
unite the opposition to the Republican
party in one powerful party. l have
been Democrat all my life, and nearly
all the Democrats in Maine believe in
the Greenback doctrine. 1t is only the
old fogy leaders who oppose it,"
"Wouldn't the first session of the next
Congress furnish the opportunity to
harmonize the differences you speak Of"
eyes, and hope it will be done. There
is a right way for the Democrats to 60,
and wrong one. l hope they will take
the right way, and all will be WE'LL"
"Do you think that all the Greenback
elect will stick together2"
II don't know. am the only straight
elected to the next Con-
gress. All the others were Endorsed and
by one party or the other. l
expect Mr.. Ladd, of Maine, will 60 into
the Democratic caucus in preference to
ours. He has always been a Democrat
and his affection for the party is 80
strong I think he will act with them al
together"
Congressman Murch differs materially |
rom the Nationals here, who believe in
keeping up separate organization, and |
hus indirectly aid the Republican party.

Symptoms of Diseased Liver.

DAIN in the right side, under the
1 edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of men,
ory, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains Of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skim his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer.
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR., C. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.

The Columbus Statesman has the fol.
lowing:
Mr.. Fuchs has prepared statement oi
facts in connection with his pardon out
of the Penitentiary. He makes some
severe reflections on Ex-Governor Young
and those connected with him. "The
most prominent men in Cuyahoga COun-
ty not only signed the petition, but per.
sonally waited on the Governor; and the
Judge wrote a letter to the Governor,
saying that if he had been on the jury
he could not conscientiously have con.
viCted nae, in consequence of which the
Governor pardoned me. My friends
thought too much of Governor Bishop
and his assistants to have made any
overtures with money, but from Cover.
nor Young's officials an d associates over
lures were made to me and my friends
on different occasions, that for $4,000 a
pardon would be procured. Arguments
of all sorts were used to bring me to
terms, and it even became so strenuous
that gentleman with the prefix Rev.
to his name, stated that Governor Young
was hard up, and needed the money to
deiray electioneering expenses in his
race for Congress-"
Mr.. Fuchs also denies the charges
made in print against himself and wife,
and on the whole makes a very favora-
BILE showing for his side of the case.

Phosphorescent Splendors.

From the Tedesco rocks, on the outer
point at Swampscott, Mass, there was a
scene of awful sublimity. A heavy surf
during the day had been rolling in upon
the beach, and breaking with magni-
fcent effect upon the rocks, while the
broad expanse of the ocean was white
with the FOAM OF million caps which
were dashed into spray by the gale. As
night came on and deepened. the won
derful phosphorescent light, far more
brilliant than anything ever seen upon
our shores, was displayed in pageant of
indescribable beauty. As far as the eye
could reach along the rocky coast, the
breaking surf was turned to molten
silver, and then to deepest emerald, and
then to the minute sparkling fires one
sees flashing from a coronet of dia'
monds in artificial light. 1t was sea
of glittering gems. The crest of every
wave was line of massive silver, and
the seething waters, changing from
palest blue to most glittering green
emitted light which cleaned upor
rock and grass, and was reflected upor
the clouds above.
At midnight, at the full tide, thu
splendor of the scene was beyond words
Wave after wave broke upon the line o
rocks, showing wall of colored fires
forty, and at times even fifty feet il
| height. The ocean seemed ahame. Th'
crest of every wave was c0ruscatlon o
gems sparkling with more than rainboy
hues. The intensity of color, all lu
minous with phosphorescent fire, wa
| far more wonderful than that produces
by any mechanical chemistry. Foot
prints of silver in the sand; handful
Of diamonds for the grasping, and al
though SO fleeting, they will remain
possession forever. Standing thus in tn
darkness and hopelessness of midnight
at the edge of the vast turbulent oceal
of light, with the cleaning splendor Q
advancing and retreating waves, tn
4 vision of the apocalypse was for tn
time made real. In Imagination it wa
ga city garnished with all manner Q
precious stones, jasper and emerald an

CnEREr 9.
BY MRS. H. G. GARDINER,

We have spet canary,
His name is Cherry G.
You can not find birdie
That's happier than he.
He whistles and he MARBLES,
A merry song be sings;
With airy, graceful motion
From perch TO perch he springs,
Or, h his bright hoop hanging
Aloft, he gayly swings.
Once. every day, we open
His door and let him -ay;
There is deep south window
That first attracts his eye;
For many plants all blooming,
Fill up the recess there,
And Cherry thinks the summer
Hides in the blossoms fair,
Although the white snow covers.
The brown hills everywhere.
Now round the room he circles,
His jetty wings outspread;
A crest of black and yellow
Rests on his tiny head;
His breast is orange color,
His suit Is almost new
Oh, he's cunning fellow,
Cunning and happy, ton;
He's never cross or saucy,
He never frets-do you?
An, you should see him perching
Upon the pictures near,
Or by US lightly iii ting
without thought of fear;
Back to his cage returning
WITH willing, rapid wing.
And without rest beginning
At once to sweetly sing,
As If he knew the pleasure
His cheerful notes must bring.
Oh, darling little birdiei
How can you be 30 bright?
What is 1t that SO gladdens
Your heart and makes it light?
You cheer US like a sunbeam,
And while we hear your song
The ills of life grow lighter,
The days appear less long;
The world itself seems brighter,
And faith and hope more strong.
Golden Hours.

A Hunting Wasp.

Mr.. Henry Cecil writes to Nature from
Athens as follows: / was sitting one
summers afternoon at an open window
(bed-room) looking into garden, when
/ was surprised to observe large and
rare species of spider run across tho win
dow-sill in a crouching attitude. 1t
struck me the spider was evidently
alarmed or it would not have so fear
lessly approached me. 1t hastened to
conceal itself under the projecting edge of
the window-sill inside the room, and had
hardly done so when very fine large
hunting wasp buzzed in at the open win
dow and few about the room evidently
in search of something. Finding moth
ing, the wasp returned to the open win
dow and settled on the window-sill,
running backward and forward as a
dog does when looking or searching for a
lost scent. 1t soon alighted on the track
of the poor spider, and in moment it
discovered its hiding place, darted down
on it, and no doubt inflicted wound
with its sting. The spider rushed off
again, and this time took refuge under
the bed, trying to conceal itself under
the framework or planks which supported
the mattress. The same scene occurred
here; the wasp never appeared to follow
the spider by sight, but ran backward
and forward in large circles like abound
The moment the trail of the spider was
found the wasp followed all the turns il
had made till it came ON it again. The
poorspider was chased from hiding-placs
to hiding-place-out of the bedroom
across passage and into the middle o.
another large room, where it finally sue
cumbed to the repeated stings inflicted
by the wasp. Rolling itself up into ,
ball, the wasp then took possession o
could make no resistance, tucked it VI
under its very long hind legs, just as
hawk or eagle carry off their quarry
and was flying off to its nest, when
interposed and secured both for my col
lection.
