THE GOOD YOUNG. DON'T ALL DIE.
Remarkable Longevity of Many Of the
Original AbOlitiOnists.

New YORK lines.
II is remarkable how many of the original
and lifelong Abolitionists- and women
and those early interested in the anti
slavery movement are still alive, not few
of them having passed the oft-quoted three
score and ten usually accepted as the limit
of human existence. Among those prom
inent in the anti-slavery cause are William
Lloyd Garrison, rightly called the Father OF
American Aboltionism, aged %; Wendell
Phillips, 66: Ralph Waldo Emerson, IS, Will
liam Cullen Bryant, SO, Lydia Maria Child,
76, (she wrote an Appeal IN Behalf Of that
the first distinctively anti-slavery books pub
!ished in the country2 George B. cheever,
H. Arad Gilbert, rs; Lucretia Mott, IS;
fellow, H. Henry Ward Beecher, 65; A.
Bronson Alcott, IS; Oliver johnson, So; John
G. Whittier, 20; Henry w. Bellows, ga;
Frederick Douglass, 81; Elizabeth Cady

be mentioned, between the ages of go and
of the early Abolitionists is that they have
entertained moral ideas, and these spring
from moral conduct, which includes temper
ance in living and general conformation to
hygienic laws. Very few of the noted pro
slavery leaders and advocates, on the Other
hand, are living to-day. The most conspicu.
GUS of those alive are Jefferson Davis and
Robert Toombs. William L. Yancey and J,
D. B. DeBow, one the great political apostle
of secession, and the other the indefatigablt
advocate of the kingship of cotton, have
passed away; so have Preston 8. Brooks
Senator Wigfall, Francis w. Pickens, Joh1
B. Breckenridge, Henry A. Wise, Robert E.
Lee, Laurence M. Keith, Duff Green, Barn
we'll Rhett, John M. Daniel, Edward A. Pol
lard Clement G. Vallandigham, George E
Pugh, Jesse D. Bright, Garrett Davis, w
r. Taber, Jr., and most of the men in
fuential in bringing on and keeping mp the
civil war by their counsel, sympathy, and
material and moral aid. For every livins
man who advocated slavery, we venture t
say that half dozen living men opposed t.
slavery could be shown, if all the facts ane
figures were obtainable.
Il Talented 4dcenturess.
When woman turns swindler, she oftel
shows talent which few men possess. Sh
has degree of tact, delicacy, fnesse, ant
downright boldness, which we rarely find il
the other sex. Recently woman claiming
to be Polish Countess, (frst-class adven
turers are frequently Poles,) and said to b
pretty, well-educated, and exceedingly
shrewd, has been swindling jewelers. on tn
European continent. After getting diamonds
necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, of tn,
richest pattern on credit, she would suddenl
decamp. The jewelry she would dispose o
to various persons, pretending that abrup
change of fortune had compelled her to par
with it, which she cid with great pain, as i
had been long in her family. She has ha,
astonishing success in many of the leadin
capitals, having defrauded, it is said, differen
firms of 100000 to 1000, 900 francs, ($16O,
900 to $2OO,OOO.) She has been arreste
within two or three weeks in Vienna, and i
in prison there. She is so handsome
plausible, and winning in manner-she doe
not appear to be over 25-and is so YER
astute that it is thought she may yet escap
justice. Most of the men she has swindle
had been wholly or partially in love wit
her. Love-making, indeed, she has made
branch of her dishonest art.

Grace Greenwood writes in the New Yor
Times:
I must beg leave to quote little from
and reply to, a letter written to me askin
certain information. This lady-Mrs. Hol
ping, of Laurel, Md.-has noticed that, i
one of my letters, I spoke of the sad des
