TIE Republican papers OF the New

homilies upon the strength of the re.
pudiation element in Virginia a. shown
in the returns OF the Legislative elec.

general disposition OF the Southern
Democracy towards dishonesty. Such
talk proceeds either from ignorance OF
the real situation in Virginia or is a
willful perversion of the truth. The

After Seventeen Years-A Bouquet and
Note.

From the Harrisburg Telegraph.
The following incident will serve to
recall some OF the stirring scenes of
the late National Misunderstanding.
In 1861, when the Ninth Pennsylvania
three months men marched out OF West
Chester on their way to the front they
passed through Carlisle. While there
the citizens of the town furnished them
with a much needed breakfast. One OF
the officers was the recipient of a hand
some bouquet presented to him hy q
lady. 4 note was attached which read
u follows: Accept these flowers with
my earnest prayer for your safe return,
but should you fall in the glorious cause
may you 20 where flowers never wither
and the God of peace forever reigneth. ~
Since that time the officer has made
numerous endeavors to find who the
lady was, but until recently he has been
unsuccessful. But q few days ago he
discovered her name aud whereabouts,
and now proposes after seventeen years
To present the lady with an cugrossed
copy Of the note and also with the
identical bouquet, which he has pre-
served all these long years.

Republican BondhOlders aud Negro
RepudiatOrS.

FROM the Norfolk Nirginlan DEM
On last Tuesday the negroes of Nir.
ginia had an opportunity OF showing
their gratitude to their Republican
friends of the North and they showed
it by poting almost unanimously throughout
the State to rep,ei,ate the bonds OF the
state of Virginia, held to the extent Of
so,ae SIS, 600, 600 by the people qfths North.
How many of these bonds are held by
Jay Gould, the master of the New York
Ti15unc, we know not, but we trust he
has a sufficient share to make him
appreciate the gratitude of his colored
friends. Now that the poisoned chalice
has been returned to their own lips, we
hope these Republican capitalists will
appreciate the gratitude OF the negro,
aud IA they count their losses in the
depreciation OF the Virginia bonds, re-
member that to themselves they owe
ie Reputation which the white men OF
Virginia for their 0gH SdkC and honor =
sake would have scorned TO perpetrate.
II the whole South repudiates her debt
it will be done By tie ncgro vote, as it has
been done in Virginia. And when that
is done the Tribune and its owners will
perhaps realize that courses, Ike chickens,
come home 10 TO0st.

NAPOLEON'S MOTHER.

Frum the tiaIer' Magazine.
The family Of Bonapartcs were Of
pure Italian race there was not
drop Of French blood in any of them.
Their ancestors had come from the
mainland in the carly history of Cor.
-ica. and their names are found in the
remote annals of Aiaccio. Carlo
Bonaparte was n poor gentleman of
excellent breeding aud character, who
married in his youth n young and TO.
mantle girl named Lctizia Ramolino,
who followed him in his campaigns up
to the moment ofthc birth of Napoleon.
1t is impossible to say how much the
history of Europe owes to the high
heart and indomilable spirit Of thi.
-oldierly woman. She never relin.
quishcd her authority in her family.
When all her children were princes
and potcntatcs, she was still the severe,
stern Madame Mere. The beauty and
grace of Josephine Beauharnais never
conquered her; the sweet Tyrolese
prettiness Of Maria Louisa won from
her only a sort of contemptuous in
diligence. When her mighty son
ruled the continent, she was the only
human being whose chidings he re.
garded or endured. She was faithful
in her rebukes while the sun shonc,
and when calamity came, her un-
daunted spirit was still true and de-
voted to the fallen. Her provincial
habit of economy stood her In good
stead in her vigorous old age +; she
was rich when the Empire had passed
away, and her grandchildren needed
her aid. 1t must have been from her
that Napoleon took his extraordinary
character, for Carlo Bonaparte, though
brave soldier and an ardent patriot
in his youth, was of an easy and genial
temper. inclined to take the world as
he found it, and not to insist too much
on having it go in his especial way.

as nearly as we can, ,unembarrasscd by
taxes upon the articles which they
take there for sale. That is the ques-
ton. You must consider that to sell
TO II country means exchange, and to
exchange, you must take their goods
you must take theirs, or else they can
not take your goods. We, through
Congress, have introduced the system
of taxation upon an enormous body OF
things. Two thousand five hundred
articles are on the tax list Of our inn
ports. | have no doubt, however,
that the free list will be increased
from time to time. think that tariff
reform Is very necessary, but it ought
to be gradual and not sudden; it
ought to be based on principle which
is stable one so our people shall not
be induced to enter into enterprises of
manufacture with uncertainty. ! be-
lcve that we then can compete with
any people most successfully. ] think
there is splendid future opening, but
| do not think that it is fair to our
manufacturers to bear them down
with taxes upon every material and
yet expect them to compete with men
in foreign markets that pay no such
taxes On the Chinese question Mr..
Bayard said he took it for granted
that the feeling Of the people of Cali
fornia and on the Pacific coast will be
respected. The Senator went on to
speak of the prospective prosperity of
the southern States and incidentally
remarked that the opening of the
mouth of the Mississippi to the navi-
CATION of vessels of heavy draught
through the instrumcntality of the
Eads jetties would prove of incalcula-
bic benefit to the people of the West.
As for the southern States, they need
no legislation. The South simply
needs sympathy and respect. Il
would not treat this Union said the
Senator, "as an experiment. would
treat it rs fixed fact that the south.
ern States are in the Union and arg
going to stay there; that they are

but the honorable recognition must

want to make solid North, if they
are wise must see that the South must

A touching story of the endurance
of human love is thst of mother in n
West Virginia village, whose son went
out one evening thirty years ago, ask
ing her to have supper ready for him
when he should come back. Whether
he was murdered or ran away to sea,
nobody knows. He has never return

white-haired, makes ready for him
every night, places his chair by the
table and waits. "IIe will come some

One cannot but hope that the loving
patience of the poor waiting heart
may yet be rewarded.
