SALLSBUR

Mr.. Harry Bump, a lifelong resi-
dent of this place, died Oct. 81, aged
SO years. His wife, with whom ne
lived seventy years, passed over she
river of death only q few weeks pre-
vious.
During the last month interesting
revival meetings have been held in the
church at the village, nearly every
evening, conducted by the pastor, the
Rev. Mr.. VanDecar. A glorious work
has been accomplished. The Lord has
greatly blessed the efforts of his peo-
pie. Prayer has been answered.
Twenty-Five united with the church,
Nov. 2, and others who have felt the
power of the great salvation in their
hearts will unite soon. The work still
goes on. Rev. Lyman Wood, of Rut-
land, will assist the pastor the coming
week.
Another correspondent says:
Sabbath was a day long to be re-
membered in this place. The pastor,
Rev. Mr.. VanDecar, received into the
church twenty-six persons, seventeen
of whom he baptized. A great work is
being done, many becoming Christians.
1t is the greatest that has been done in
town for 20 years. The whole town
roundabout seems to be moved re-
ligonsly, meetings being held every
night and are likely to be as long as
such interest continues. All we can
say in this regard is; God speed the day
when all shall espouse the cause of the
Lord our Redeemer.

of presents, both useful and ornamen-

A splendid supper was prepared under
the superintendent of Mrs. Pitts, which
would do honor to the most celebrated
caterer to the taste. After supper the
company repaired to the parlor and Mrs.
Pitts called to her aid several musical eX-
perts, among them Miss Ellsworth and
Mr.. Pitts, who sang several pieces, dis
playing rare musical talent. The sing

Slurs On Women.

OF all evils prcval lent among young
men, we know Of none more blight
ing IN its moral effects than to SPEAK
lightly Of the virtues of women. Nor
is there anything : in which yoln, N IN
ares thoroughly mistaken ast'l, low
estimate they form Of the integrity Of
women. Not of their own m ,thets
and sisters, but OF others, who they
forget, are som .bo ly e!sc's IN ,s,,,.r
AMI sisters. As Il rulc, NJ n,rsa.!
who surrenders to this dcbasin, ha-
bit is to be trusted with an enter
prise, requiring integrity of char
actcr. Plain words should be spoken
on this point, for the evil is general
one, and deep rooted. Ifyoung men
are sometimes thrown into the society
of thoughtless or dcpraved woman,
they have no more right to measure
all other women by what they see of
these than they have to estimate the
character of honest and espectable
citizens by the developments of crime
in our police courts. Let our young
men lemembcr that their chief happi-
ness in life depends upon their utter
faith inwomen. Noworldly wisdom !.
NO misauthropic philosophy, no gen

ODE TO LOAFERS.

They were sitting around on barrels and
Discussing their own and their noishbors'
affairs;
And tho look OF coutent that is seen on
each face
Seems to say, have found my appropriate
Sitting around.
In bar-rooms and groceries calmly they
sit,
And serenely chew borrowed tobacco and
spit;
Whiie tho stories they toll and the jokes
that they crack
Show that their hearts have grown hard
and undoubtedly black
While sitting around.
The sitter around is II man OF no means,
And his face would not pass for quart of
white beans;
Yet he somehow or other contrives to exist,
And is frequently soon with drink in lis
While sitting around.
The loungcrs they toll not, nor yet do they
Unless it DO yarns while enjoying their gin.
They arc people Of leisure, yet often, tits
true,
They allude to the work they are Intending
While sitting around.
They arc always great takers and always
AS they whittle up sticks with horn.
They arc a cheeky old SGT, and where : or
You wifi find them in groups or strung oui

tBoston Transcript
You may not be aware that 1t was
Gen. Gordon's command which struck
the flank of the Eleventh Corps on the
afternoon of the first day at Gettys-
burg, and after Il short but desperate
conflict broke it's line and swept 1t
from the field.
In that fight, Gen. Barlow, of New
York, commander OF tho first division,
fell dangerously wounded. He was
shot directly through tfe'body. Two
of his men attempted to bear him
through that shower Of lead from the
field but one was instantly killed, and
Gen. Barlow magnanimously said to
the other, "You can do me no good !;
save yourself If you can" Gortion's
brigade of Gcorgians in its wild charge
swept over him, and he was found by

most frequent opponents with the cue
is NJ. Paul de Cassagnac. A private
friend of NJ. Grcvy, NJ. de Cassagnac
used to leave his opinions at the door
when he went to call on NJ. Grevy /;
and the pair felt mutual esteem for
each other which had nothing to do
with politics, but came from their re-
spective powers with the balls. They
are two Of the best billiard players
going.
NJ. Grevy is also a keen sportsman
and an able agriculturist. In his ma
tive Jura he climbs the hills for game,
and strolls about the valleys admiring
his vines, his cattle aud his fields of
maize. Part of a large tobacco planta-
tion used TO belong to him until gov
ernment bought it, and this may ac-
count for his fondness for the weed.
He smokes much and is of somewhat
taciturn mood, though very genial and
sociabfe when he sees that conversation
is expected of him. There is no diffi-
Guilty whatever in drawing him out.
When men rise to high station in
France it Is usual to attribute all kinds
of witticisms to them, and this will
probably be done to NJ. 6revy, but the
saying of smart things is by no means
his forte. Few men more carefully
weigh their thoughts before putting
them into words, and for that reason
the sallies which he launches 60 with
deliberate aim, and hit with telling
force. He never loses his temper, hut
he never hesitates either to speak out
his mind with full frankness, and, II
the occasion needs 1t, with considerable
warmth. If the Reactionists flatter
themselves that France has got In him
q ak-minded ruler, they are mis-
taken. NJ. Grevy is no feebler than an
iron bar, and he is, perhaps, of all
French statesmen, the one who would
be least disposed to stand nonsense.

Gen. Gordon himself, lying with up-
turned face In the hot July sun, nearly
paralyzed and apparently dying. Gen.
Gordon dtsmountetl from his horse,
gave him a drink of water from his
canteen, and inquired of Gen. Barlow
his name and wishes. =.
Gen. Barlow said: sI shall prob.
ABLY live but~ short time. Please
take from my breast pocket the paclet
Of my wife's letters ana read ono ~
them to me-" which was done. He
then asked that the Others be torn up,
as he did not wish them to fall into
other hands. This Gen. Gordon did.
aud then asked "Can do anything
else for you, Generale'' eyes" repliesi
Barlow, earnestly. ssMy wife is be-
hind our army. Can you send q mes
sage through the lines ?" "Certainly /
WILL" said Gordon, end he did. Then
directing Barlow to be borne TO tho
shade Of u tree at the rear, he rode ON
with his command. The wife received
tho message and came harmlesaly
through both lines of battle and found
her husband, WHO eventually recov-
cred.
Since Gordon's election to tho U. 8.
Senate, both he and Barlow were in-
vited to u dinner party In Washing
ton, and occupied opposite seats at the
table. After introductions, Gordon
said: "Gen. Barlow, are you related
to the officer Of your name who was
killed at Gettysburg p" "I am tho
man." said Barlow. care you related
to the Gen. Gordon who Is supposed
to have killed me?'' al am the man,
said Gordon. The heorty greeting
which followed the touching story, as
related to the interested guests by Con.
Barlow, and the thrilling effect upon
the company, can better be Imagined
than described.

Dion 3oucicault told a correspondent
of the Boston Gazette that Dickens was
a good actor for an amateur, and prob,-
bly, was the hero of the theatrical expc-
rience. ascribed to Nicholas Nichie6.y.
"There Is a LADY," Mr.. Boucieault said,
"who for many years has been deser-
vedly popular in this country as star,
who might, as 1 suspect, throw some
light on this same episode, II she chose
to look back into tho records of her
childhood" He thinks there is nothing
strange in the fact that Dickcns's brief
experience as an actor has been kept
out OF publicity. "If, when he was q
stripping of sixteen or seventeen years
OF age, he dropped down to SouthamP-
ton or to Gloucester under an assumed
name, and played some subordinate
parts, and il he became disgusted with
the life after q brief experience, he
could have returned to his place as q
reporter on newspaper, and no one
would have been the wiser. Again, he
gives Nicholas literary capacity, and
makes him write play. This adds
another significant incident to tho rest,
which seems to confirm the suspicion
that Dickens describes his own advcn-
lures as Nicholas ; for if no were in
such position, his literary capacity
would have prompted him to do pre-
cisely what Nicltolxs, who is not ac-
credited with any such powers, Is re-
presented to have done successfully"

ST.. JAMES HOTEL, Feb. II, 1873.
MY DEAR SENATOR: Having
missed you again at the Senate to-day,
send this, suggesting that you call at
my room here (45) between the hours
of 10 and II a. M, tomorrow. 1t is
not necessary to enter into details of
business. It is sufficient to say that I
have positive evidence that the Rich
ardson Commission was defeated by
you, contrary to your engagement with
since your visit to New Orleans, you
have actually worked against Pitkin in
favor Of Wharton. do not propose to
submit to the consequences of your
devious action. have screened the
administration and yourself in many
things. Notwithstanding you have
sworn that you did not draft the pro-
test for Kelly of Richland Parish, &C.,
I have the original in your writing
and saw you write 1t. This one of
many pieces of documentary evidence
which i hold upon you, and which
would close your political career very
suddenly, If not worse befell you. /
have withheld my knowledge of the
ard, but if my friends are to be sacri-
feed by the Administrations, L do not
know why should continue to do so.
I much prefer to remain upon friendly
terms with you and the Administra-
ton, but my friends must be taken
care of and my interests must be con-
suited in all political arrangements in
that State. My interests are distinctly
with the coalition of Conservatives,
Nationals and reputable Republicans.
There is no desire on the part of the
coalition to antagonize your interests
or those of the Administration. They
will, however, be governed herein by
the advice which Mr.. Pitxin and my
self may give them. To Gen. Badger
I have no objection. I am informed
from New Orleans that Mr.. Mcmillan
will decline the Post Office. Mr.. Pit
kin must have the Marshalship or
something else in Louisiana satisfactory
to him. Mr.. Richardson must have
the Special Agency, Post Office Depart
ment, or another Office in Louisiana Of
equal value and equally satisfactory to
me. My other friends they must have
positions in which they can be service
able to my interests.
shall expect to SEQ you tomorrow
within the hour named. If we arrive
at satisfactory understanding myself
aud my friends will heartily support
you as long as you deal with us in good
faith. Neither MIR. Pitkin nor Mr..
Richardson know OF the true inward
ness of your action toward them. They
need not know it if we come to an un-
derstanding. II do not see you /
shall move Immediately in opposition
to your interests. Yours truly,
