this business in Boston three or four
years ago. She now calls herself Mrs.
Sarah E. Howe. Her brother in law,
Manly Howe, after showing her kind
ness for her husbands sake was prose-
cuted by her on charge of stealing a
large sum of money from her, but the
suit failed. She was formerly charged
with being a procuress, and her present
business gives her great opportunities
to carry on that shocking trade. Her
way of life has been that of fortune
teller and wandering woman, now and
again mixed up in most disreputable
affairs; but her plausible tongue has
enabled her to escape punishment, and
has lately succeeded in drawing into
her hands great deal of money from
Boston prostitutes and other poor wo-
men. What use she makes of this
money is not thoroughly known, but it
is a highly suggestive fact that she
bought a fine house at No. 2 East
Brookline street early last spring for
$40, 900, and it was decided to her per-
sonally, not to the company, but the
deed has not yet been put on record.
Whatever she may do with the funds,
it does not need any investigation to
convince a man of business that no es-
tablishment which offers to pay per
cent month can be other than crimi-
nal or grossly deluded, or both.

Judge Tourgee and His Wife.

Although "a FOOLS Errand" was pub
lished last winter, it is still selling at
the rate of $500 a week. They even
read it in the solid South. A gentle
man tried to hide a book he was read
ing. 1t was the FOOLS Errand." Being
rather pushed into the corner by in
quisitive questions. the doctor confess
ed that he was intensely interested in
it, and that he was really reading it for
the third time. The strangest part of
all is that the North Carolinians do not
fly into rage over the book, but on
the whole are said rather to enjoy it.
They take the stories of the Ku-Klux
tiendish and other atrocities as a COM
pliment to the unconquerable spirit of
the South. The "Verdentonn of the
book is Greensboro, N. G.. "Warring-
ton" is the plantation upon which Judge
TOurgee settled. He went to stay. He
was in no sense of the word, a carpet
bagger. He went, as he says, "fOrget-
ful of the fact that the social conditions
of three hundred years are not to be
overthrown in a moment" His wife,
refined accomplished woman, accompa-
MED him, like himself full of hope and
courage.
This is how they lived after they got
there. When Mrs. Tourgee went along
the streets of Greensboro, the women of
that town made wide circuit around
her, and gathered back their clothes as
if they were afraid of touching her. All
that impOtent female spite could do to
poison her existence was done. Social
ly, she lived in an isolation as terrible
nc l sh hnA ho Il
man on Santa Barbara island. South
ern ladies often come north, nowadays,
to visit here in Cincinnati and else
where. They are made as welcome
and made the recipients of as many
graceful, social attentions as if there
never had been war between the
north and south, and as if, indeed, the
north had never beaten the south in a
fair fight. But Mrs. Tourgee, lady as
refined, as delicately bred as any wo-
man in the land, went among southern
people, and only because she was from
the North, was put upon a level with
"niggers." Perhaps however this is a
proper manifestation of the "uncon-
querable spirit" Carolinians glory in.
The domestic happiness the 'Fool"
and his wife enjoyed may be inferred
from the fact that whenever Judge
TOurgee started out to attend court,
Mrs. Tourgee never dared feel any con-
tidence that he would come back alive.
He was northern man and a republi-
can who dared say so in what he sup
posed to be free country. For this
reason he was universally hated. At
tempts were made to kill him. A plot
to assassinate him was formed, much in
the same manner as described in the
story. He escaped it by following the
road his horse chose.
A man who knew him we'll at GreeDs-
bOro, and who lived there when he
did, says he received stacks of anony-
nous letters from the "Regulators, )"
threatening his life. They were pro-
fusely decorated with coffins, skulls
and cross-bones. Black men, and white
ones too, used frequently to creep Sc
cretly to his house, with their backs all
bleeding from the Ku-Klux bull-whip.
They had been dragged from their beds
in the dead of night, and thus cruelty
lashed.-Cincinnati Commercial.

The True Story of William Tell.

He was captain of an archery club,
and one of the best shots with the bow
and arrow in all Switzerland. The
country was then under the rule of the
tyrant Gesler. One day Gesler set his
plug hat on pole for men to salute,
and ordered every man in Altorf should
make Obeisance TO it or die. And thew
did, every one of them. Even the trees
standing round made their best boughs.
Finally Bill Tell came along with his
little boy. He told the men at AltOrf
that before he would bow to Gesler's
hat he would 'Altorf and stamp on il.
That was the kind of bow an arrow
he was. Gesler arrested him on the
spot, being marshal of the village as
well as tyrant, thus drawing salary
from two offices, contrary to the consti-
tuition. Gesler, as a punishment for his
audacity, ordered him to shoot an ap-
pie from the head of his boy. This he
did, although it was an arrow escape
for young Tell. The apple fell, pierced
to the core, no encore being allowed
owing to the extreme length of the per-
formance. AS Tell rushed forward to
embrace his boy an arrow dropped out
of his vest. ''Ha! ~ cried the tyrant,
wherefore concealest that arrow 2"
Replied Tell, pointing to Gesler's head
gear on top of the pole, ''To shoot that
hat +" The joke was so good that Ges-
Ter released him and gave him a twenty
dollar gold piece. Cincinnati Saturday

Judge Poland on Garfield.
HOW THE COMMITTEE MADE ITS MISTAKE
AND GARFIELD FAILED IN JUSTIFYING
HIS INTEGRITY.

HOW THE COMMITTEE MADE ITS MISTAKE
AND GARFIELD FAILED IN JUsTIFYING
HIS INTEGRITY.
Interview in Philadelphia Press
"This is one of the absurdities of the
charge. If Gen. Garfield had been in
fact holder of that stock, instead of
1929 there would have been due to him
from first to last, and prior to the in
vestigation, about $4,000 in accrued
profits. Gen. Garfield was poor, and
will anybody suppose that he would
not have availed himself of that ready
money which, on the Ames theory, was
his of right? If the committee had
known before what it subsequently,
knew no such report would have been
made. If Gen. Garfield had come be-
fore us with the statement which he
subsequently made, and which was
true, our report would have been very
differ ent. and it would not have re-
fiected even inferentially on Garfield.
The committee did not believe that he
had done a wrong, and we were salts
fed that Ames had been practicing his
great shrewdness, but the testimony
was such as to give the report the turn
it took. Gen. Garfield made mistake
in not coming before us with the state
ment he afterward made.n
"Why do you suppose he didn't ?"
"Well," said the judge with a smile,
81 think he lacked the courage. We
cannot all be brave at all times. You
know how high public opinion was run
ming at that time, and Garfield had
reached that point where he thought
his continuation in public life public
necessity. That very thing led him tc
place himself in a false position. But
when he came to himself and made his
real explanation, the people of his OWL
district, who knew him best, again
showed their confidence in him. His
district is proud of him, and would
have sent him to Congress as long as
he would have consented to serve

Mr.. Edmunds on Rebel Claims.

Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, has
sent the following letter to the editor OF
the Mason (Mich.) News, whose editor
had forwarded to him copy of dem
ocratic paper containing structures upon
one of his speeches during the late state
campaign:
BURLINGTON, Vt, Aug. 30, 1880.
10 Y. j. Ieft, Esq, Mason, Mich:
DEAR SIR,-Yours of the 18th came
just as | was going out of town. fear
the editor of the Grand Rapids Demo-
crat is not very hungry to find out ex-
actly what the fourth section of the
fourteenth amendment covers in point
of law. The rebel claims referred to
are not claims of the rebels for aiding
the rebellion, but for property, amount
ing altogether to hundreds and probably
thousands of millions, taken or destroy
ed by armies of the United States, and
therefore the moment the test of loyal
ty of any claimant is repealed, the
claim of the rebel stands exactly like
the claim of any other citizen against
the government on account of its ac-
ton, and not on account of the action
of the rebel authorities. The demo-
Gratis in Congress have tried time after
time to repeal this distinction in re-
spect of claims of loyal and disloyal
persons, and they have bills now pend
ing in the Senate to effect that object,
and they will effect it by a solid or
nearly solid democratic vote the mo-
ment they get possession of all the de-
partments of the government. As to
rebel pensions the editor of the Demo-
crat, if he will reflect little, will, am
sure, agree that pension does not in
any case fall within the description of
"any debt or Obligation" and if so, it is
not within the prohibition of the four
teenth amendment. A pension is and
always has been granted upon the
ground of bounty or gratitude, and not
of legal obligation. 1t is perfectly clear,
therefore, that the constitution does
not stand in the way of Congress pen
sioning every rebel soldier or soldiers
widow and children, OF, indeed, every
other rebel, if it pleases. will not re-
ciprocate the epithets of this worthy ed
itor.
Very truly yours,
GEORGE F. EDMUNDs.

In an article upon the flush times
and tendency to extravaganza, the
Springfield Republican has some very
sensible views. 1t closes as follows:
Spending is well, but saving is bet
ter. Spending wisely is a very pice
art, and the more moderately it is in
dulged, the more moneys worth to the
dollar will be got in return. We are
very glad that people are again in po-
sition to spend, but we want to remind
them that the first right use to make of
that privilege is to pay debts; second
to accumulate against age and disaster.
Expenditure should be made rigidly
subject to income and well within it, so
as to leave over some margin of saving.
Some people are doing it, and many,
too, whose incomes are very narrow.
Looking along the column of daily de-
posits at one of our savings banks, we
find sums from 5 to $40 more frequent
ly than any other, the weekly or
monthly mickle delved by honest toll,
rescued from consumption, and brought
in to add to the muckle by the servant
girl, the teacher, the mechanic, the la
borer, the clerks and others on small
salary.
To the business man and the capital
ist also the reminder is seasonable that
prosperity is the time to pay debt, not
to expand credit. Of course enterprise
is urgent, expectations are great, credit
is the great charity that helps many an
undertaking upon it's feet and gives it
being, but it is wise to make credit
short, to require that a good proportion
of first profits should go to replace bor-
rowed capital with paid-up capital.
There is another day of reckoning in
the future, when credit will shrivel up
if we are ready for it, it will never
come and just as soon as we cease to
be ready for it, it will come.

The Mysterious Bank.
IS THE "LADIEs' DEPOSIT CO." A CHARI-
TY OR A SWINDLE?
Boston Advertiser.

tiser upon the extraordinary company,

the person, persons, or corporation may

Ladies' Deposit Co.," at the South
End, gave as full description of the
nature and workings of the affair as
could then be obtained. Some new
considerations are now to be presented
which will interest every one, and
startle every one who has intrusted her
money to the deposit company"
Upon the face of things this "depOsit
company" if viewed simply from the
business point of view, is an open and
palpable fraud. Every business man
and every sensible man and woman in
Boston knows that there is no way in
the world by which ''eight per cent a
month in advance" or otherwise can be
earned upon saving deposits. But one
conceivable way then exists in which
such promises as those made by this
deposit company could be carried out.
That way has already been suggested
has come into peoples minds, no one
can say how or why, the suggestion
coming from no one can say where
Some charitable person has, perhaps,
left great sum, the income of which is
to be given (for that would be the plain
English of it) to single women and
widows. Some of the considerations
which make this theory very improba-
BILE were urged in our article on Satur-
day, the chief of these being the i'm
mensity of the sum which would be
needed for such purpose, the improb-
ability of such gift having been Sc
cretly made, etc., etc. But some Othel
yet more significant reasons can be
urged. Is the business managed in sucl
a Wav as to look like charity NOt
so. The very contrary is true. What
reason exists, if the intent were charita-
BILE, for refusing any deposit less il
amount than 5000? Are not the women

There is a Natural Body"

Immortal is my friend, 1 know:
Not summers sun nor winters snow
Nor depths Of earth could turn to nought
So much of life and love and thought
And yet that form 1 did intrust
To kindred earth, the dust to dust,
And thither still my thoughts will tend,
As if to find my vanished friend
Sacred the robe, the faded glove,
Once worn by one we used to love;
Dead warriors in their armor live,
And in their relics saints survive;
And there tenderly laid down
The hands that fondly clasped my own,-
The eyes that knew and answered mine
With many a meaning, loving sign
The lips familiar with my name,
That freely called me and CAME
The breast that harbored all goodwill,
The loving heart now cold and still
o sheltering Earth, henceforth defend
All thou hast garnered of my friend
Against the wintry tempest's beat,
Against the summers scOrching heat.
Within thine all-embracing breast
Is hid one more forsaken nest,
While in the sky, with folded wings
The bird that left it sits and sings,

Boston was vaguely known to the
Greeks. 1t is the real site of the fa-
bled Atlantis. Moses would have gone
to Boston had not the Israelites been so
stupid and obstinate. King Solomon
always had an aspiration to get to
Boston. Plato died longing to visit the
neighboring groves of Concord and hold
sweet communion with the Concordi-
ans. Galileo involuntarily turned the
first telescope in the direction of Bos-
ton. The Egyptians built the pyramids
hoping to see Boston from their sum-
