The daughter of John Lather, of Dorsey
County, Ark, suddenly lost her voice and
hearing when she was a little girl, some ff-
teen years ago. One night lately, Mr.. Lath-
er was passing his daughters room when he
heard voice. With his wife, he crept in
noiselessly, and they found her talking in her
Sleep But when she awoke she was dumb
again. Since then she has again been heard
to talk in her sleep. A deaf and dumb lover
of the girl was much distressed on learning
that she could talk.

The record of the South in Congress
nianifests fully the spirit and purpose of
that section. more than one hundred
bills" says the Tribune, ''are pending in
Congress, offered almost without excep-
ton by ex-Confederates, which seek to
magnify the South at the expense of the
North, the State at the expense of the Ma
ton, the ex-Rebel at the expense of the
ex-Unionist. This list would be curos-
ity under any circumstances, but it has a
solemn interest for Us when we see that
these bills are deliberately urged by repre-
sentatiyes of the dominant party in Con-
gress, who hope to capture the rest of the
government next year. 1t is like seeing
the label-'Be it enacted'-on the lid of
Pandora's box. Bills to enable cities
towns and villages in the South to repu-
diate their debts as the States have done
to violate the solemn promise of the Uni
ted States that its bonds shall not be taxed;
to make it easy for the State Courts to

requiring them to be made upon indict-

many portions of the South to scuttle the
Treasury by reducing the revenues, in
one way and another, by $4,000, 900; to
let down the bars that keep out disoyal
claimants-these are some of the purposes
of the Confederate Congressman Some
of these bills are close on to their passage
and all Of them taken together, present an
extraordinary spectacle. 1t would seem

Congressman S. b. Chttenden of New
York publishes an open letter to Senator
Hill of Georgia in which he says: "The
North is perhaps more weary of sectional
strife than the South, but we do not see
how to escape one year more of it. You
do not care TO deny that the South is firm
ly united in a bold and persistent purpose
to control the Federal Government in the
name of the democratic party. For this
you first gave all your precious treasures,
including slavery and your best blood.
You freely acknowledged that you were
defeated on the battlefield, but the wrong
done to the Union by your frantic effort to
destroy it is nowhere repented of. have
never seen man from the South, who
took part in the fight, who would admit
that the rebellion was inexcusable. There
is plenty of repentance of certain sort,
but no Southern combatant is sorry for
anything but defeat. You yourself. in all
your strength, cannot stand for moment,
or live, with your constituents if you say
that the rebellion was crime. Ii is this
attitude and temper of the South which
compel a solid North. There is no way
to meet the issue forced upon us but by a
sweeping victory at the polls The great
question which we must meet next year.
and which may be decided next month is /:
Shall we of the North, after all we have
suffered and forborne, ignobly surrender?
For one, feel Inundated that you should
ever have supposed it possible for North
men to 60 back in this cowardly way
upon their heroic defence of the Union.
Moreover, multitudes of candid and close
observers do not believe that the demo-
cratic party, dominated by the spirit and
principles which rule the South, can ever
govern the country successfully. If there
be anything so bedded in our history that
it can never be got out, it is the fact that
Southern men have generally opposed the
American spirit as represented by the peo-
pie who planted and rooted our nstitu-
tions and thrift in the hard and thorough
discipline Of New England

There is an advertisement in our columns
to which we take much pleasure in referring
our readers, because we believe in it and can
conscientiously and heartily recommend it.
We refer to Halls Hair Remover. We re-
member many cases in our midst of old and
middle aged people who formerly wore gray
hair or whose locks were thin and faded, but
who now have presentable head pieces, and
with no little pride announce to their friends
that they haven't gray hair in their heads.
1t is pardonable pride, and the world would
be better oft, if there was more OF it, for
when the aged make themselves attractive to
others they are more certain to win and retain
the esteem and respect to which burthen of
well spent years entities them. Try Halls
