HOW WE ARE M1sREpREsENrEp.

In nine out Of every ten Northern
Republican journal that you pick up,
you will find some gross misrepresen-
tatlon OF the South and her people. 1t
Is just as much impossible for the
average Northern Radical to tell the
truth about the South, as it is for
them TO realize the fact that the war
was brought to close Just fifteen
years ago.
They not only slander and traduce
the South, but every Northern politic-
ian who in any way attempts to refute
the slanderous charges, is character
lied as rebel sympathizer and pal of
rebel brigadiers.

The Democratic candidate for presi-
dent would be out of place even when
applied to the most disgraccful hood
lum. Yet to the very same person
are they indebted for the preservation
of the Union, to which they make
such wonderful professions of loyalty.
The same section of country to
which they now apply the terms of
"the hot-bed of secession" Gland of
bulldozing," "home of prescription
and MURDER" is the same that few
years ago Was-under Republican rule
declared to be as loyal to the Union
as the North. The Republican iourn-
ais "dcclare that no Northern man is

This is a lie from the whole cloth. 1t

when Il Southern gentleman, who
vas invited by political friends to
make speeches in IL Northern State,

1t is hardly pro bable that any

will receive with open arms, any man,
II class of men, who come among

their section. But to all
ight-thinking, telling and hon

Hancock and His DeTamers

The Cincinnati Gazette, having written a
series of some thirty articles To prove Me-

A NUMBER of Yale College students
destroyed a Hancock and English
banner belonging to the Jeffersonian
Club, of New Haven, on Saturday
last. President Porter called a meet
ing of the students, and resolutions
were passed condemning the action
of the guilty parties, and IA resolution
was passed to make restitution of the
property destroyed. Had this affair
occurred in the South, there would be
a hue and cry of 'insult to the flag" !"
"another high-handed Southern out
rage" secession alive and kicking" "
but rs it happens to be in the land of
loyalty, it is only a little indiscretion
on the part of a few frolicsome youths.

The South in the great crisis of 1876
u was Solid in favor of the completion
of the electoral count under the law,
and opposed to throwing the country

injurious to Northern security?
In 1850 the South is solid in favor of
the election to the Presidency of one
of the most distinguished captains in
command Of armed hosts that put an
end to all hope of separate and In

But the South is also solid against
a political party that has never ceased
to hold its people up as ruiliians and

sympathized only with those who

to tolerate that manly independence

NELSON'S LAST SEASON.
From the New York Tribune.


Miss Nelson's last season IN the
United States began on October 20,
1879, at the Park Theatre in brooklyn,
and except for brief intcrmissions
made necessary by the eXigcncics Of
travel it continued uninterrupted UNI
till May n, 1850, when she received Il
complimentary benefit ut Booths The
atrc. The performance on that date
was the one hundred and cighty-filth
of an almost continuous series. Dur
ing this period she lost only one night
by illness. From October until May
she appeared in Brooklyn, philadel-
phia, Bosto,n Chicago, st. Louis, New
Orleans, Cincinnati, Montreal, Otta-
wa, Toronto, Washington, Baltimore,
Richmond and New York, together
with great many smaller places.
About one dozen performances of
"The Hunchmck" and of the "Lady
of LyOnsr were given during this tour,
but for the most part Miss Nelson re-
strictcd herself to the characters of
her Shakespcrcan repctOry-to Juliet,
Viola, Imogcn, ROsalind and Isabella.
Up to the last night of her engage
ment in this city the gross receipts
from these performances amounted to
SISG, ,SO7, of which Miss Nelson herself
received about S7j, ,O00. From her BEN |
eft performance, which followed her |

gagement IN CaifOrnia-wherc she |
went after a short rest in this city

this city early in 1878, she was in cX-
cellcnt health, and very cheerful and
hopeful. She began 10 feel the effect
of her labor before her engagement in
New York began. and while here
showed some slight signs of fatigue.
Her engagement in this city began on
April 26, when she appeared a. Imo-
gen, and closed May -, when she was
seen as Juliet. At her benefit per-
formance on May p, she appeared in

all on board, and the stand relieved of
its deck load, slowly righted and
driftcd into the clothes press. Mr..
Mayhem then Wadcd to the faucet,
turned off the water, and opened the
door and the water rushed out into
the hall. Then he locked the door
and went back to bed in the dark, as
the matches had all been destroyed,
when he laid his hand upon something
that sent Il caill through his spinal
marrow, and he almost screamed in
terror. He had felt something in the
bed round and hard, about rs big as

courage he hauled the white object
out Of bed and held it up to the light.

Tncy Found Her Dead.

The other morning, when Il dozen or
more men formed Il group at the ferry
dock, one of them said that poor old
Mary Lee was dead. Every one knew
her. For years and years she had
crossed on the ferry boats and tramp
ed up and down the wharvcs with
basket Of notions or fruits, and rs she
was for one day, she was forever. She
lived alone in dark rooms in an old
hoVcl, and the poorest clothes and
plainest food was hers. She died IL
She had lived, lonely and friendlcss,
and amid pinching poverty.
" Yes, they found her dead in her
wretched old bed this morning" con-
tinucd the speaker, "and let me ask if
there is one among us who ever gave
that poor old woman Il kind word"
No one answered.
" Did one among us remember her
when we sat by our blazing fires and
heard the howl Of the winter winds?'
They could not answer yes.
"WhO of us ever thought that she
might need food or fuel or raiment ?
We knew that she was old and alone,
but what man among Us had sympa-
thiZing words?'
No voice replied.
a word from Us would have
brought the sunshine across her path.
A dallar piece would have kept her
poor old body warm through Il long
winter. Did we ever think Of it"
No one answered.
Living for more than 4 decade
among Christian people, no man
could remember of having spoken Il
kind word to poor old Mary Lee.
Thousands of Christian men and
women passed her daily and saw her
thin, patched garments and pinchcd
face. Yet no one ever offered her Il
helping hand. In Il city Of churches
no Christian man or woman has
spoken Christian words to one whose
eyes would have filled with tears at
the smallest favor.
After she was dead some one sent
flowers to place on her cheap coffin,
and others felt the sting Of conscience
rs they entered the place where her
weary years had at last reached Il
close, but it was too late. Alone,
childless, old and poor, she
bad gone her way down the dark val
