Mass, in 1878, graduate Of Harvard ii
1856, and subsequently ii tutor III the EaFt1i-
velsity, was olle OF the best sonnet writers
il the language. Like William ElleIy
Charming, he delighted to paint pictures
of spiritual realities rathef than outward
facts, and e,triy gave himself up to a relig-
ious enthusiasm which SO possessed him
that he left Cambridge and returned

retirement, writing sounets for the JFnita-

Eleven years ago q young Frenehnlan, ,
Gilbert by name, and a very ardent repub-
lican, fell in love with the daughter of an
ImperiaIist, and, rs the father of the girl
refused his consent to the lnarage, the
young couple determined to commit sui
eide They repaired to a small town near
Paris, and Gilbert, after shooting his be-
trothetI, attempted to blow his own brains
out Iii neither case did the wounds prove
mortal, and the war breaking out soon
aftcrward, Gilbert was not prosecuted, as
he had left Paris TO serve in the Army Of
Loire. He returned TO Paris at the out
National Guard, was made prisoner when
the Versailles troops entered the city and
transported to New Caledonia.
During his absence his betlothest had
been induced by her father to marry Il
wealthy merchant, and is now the mother
of q numerous family, her husband hay
ing no suspicion the antecedent events.
Gilbert was included in the amnesty grant
ed a few months ago, and he returned to
Paris the other day only to be arrested on
the charge of attempted homicide. It ap-
pears, however, that the trial will not be
brought to an issue, the public prosecutor
being Of opinion tE.at the proceedings can
not be carried on without putting into the
witness-box the lady whom Gilbert at
tempted to kill. 70 do this would be to
blast her character, and perhaps to bring
about her separation from her husband,
and so the minister ofjustiee has authoriz-
ell the public prosecutor to desjst from
further proceedings.

A telegram from Prospect
stating that on Wednesday a
negro outraged twelve year
old white girl near Bethel, and
murdered her. lie made his es-
cape. The latest advices are
that the girl is not dead, and
hopes are entertained that she
will recover. The girl was an
orphan girl named Matte Hen
bricks, living with the family of
Elder Smith. The negro, Dan
Smith was working with the
same family and took adyan-
tage of her while going from one
house to another in the neigh
borhood. The negro was ares
ted at Rogersville, Ala, Sunday,
and delivered to Sheriff Arm
strong, who started for Nash
vile with him. At Lynnyille
the negro was taken by a mob,
but was recovered by the sheriff
and taken back to Pulaski and
lodged in Jail. There is much
excitement and Indignation all
through the country, and it is
thought he will yet be mobbed.

grandmother ont of $1,000.
The news was sent from this
city to the Radical papers of the
country last night. If our can
didates will have patience and
pay no attention to this cons
temptible warfare now being
made on them, a few more such
stories will give them a majority
the like of which was never
known i'll the country. The peo-
pie are not fools.
A very sharp and experienced
Democrat sent aletter here yes
terday from Ohio. He was sent
to that State to report, and the
letter is his report He says il
is possible-but only possibleTE
that late events in that State,
like the coming of Grant, CoplS.
ling, ETC., may save the State to
the Radicals, but that he doesn't
believe that the Radical vote
will be as great as is claimed,
and he thinks if the Presidential
election were to be held on the
18th, Hancock's. electors would
sweep the State. .. ad eo ,rp
The Asst.-Secretary Of the

headquarters in this city, to-day
furnishes another quantity of
proof that Gen. Weaver is in
the pay of the Republican party
and that all he has done during
the campaign has been for mon
ey supplied by Republican a
gents. The Secretary is right
of course, but he seems to have
consented to the swindle as long
as he saw profit or the chance of
profit for himself in it. 1t is not
the Sccretary's statement that
carries conviction, but the docu.
ments he gives us, all of which
are corroborated by Weaver's
own acts. MCKAY.

Washington Letter.

Special Correspondence Of The OBSERVER
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. Z, 1880.
Gen. Francis A. Walker, Su-
pcrintendent of Census, has just
reported to Secretary Schurz-
or rather to the Interior Depart
ment, as Schurz is away stump
ing-that his late Investigations
show the South Carolina census
of this year to have been cor
rectly taken. He says that of
1870 was very badly taken, and
that most of the increase for
twenty years is shown by the
present one. In 1870 he was
compelled to employ carpet-bag-
gers and negroes, and they we're
nearly all dishonest or ignorant.
This year he was able to secure
competent men. Gen. Walker
is a Republican, but, unlike most
of them who hold office under
this Administration, he does not
deem it necessary to distrust cit
liens of one section, more than
another-much less to hate one,
Gen. Grant, who has had two
Presidential terms, and, unlike
Washington, Jefferson,J jackson.
or any other President, coveted
a third, says Gen. Hancock is,
generally, a bad sort of man and
is "crazy for the Presidency
Here is richness. 1t is we'll
known that Gen. Grant disliked
Thomas, Hancock and other of
the prominent Union officers, but
/ do not recall any case but this
in which he permitted himself to
be reported in the newspapers as
attacking a brother officer reno-
mously. His own reputation,
and not Hancock's, will suffer
from this mseemly exhibition
of spite.
So, too, a new charge is made
against VIM. Ii. English. We
