Nearly every educated woman VINO
has formed any fragment OF society has
bundles of letters slowed IN bureaus
boxes. trunks. the accumulation OF years,
which nothing would induce her to burn.
She NAV think that she will winnow
them some time. and destroy those of the
least Importance, never suspectinS that
none of them is the least important.
Generally she fails to find time to
achieve the task; but if she should find
time she would very likely lack strength
of mind to put any OF them INTO the fire.
Reading them over would so revive her
interest and associations that she would
decide that they must be kept little
longer. 1t very seldom happens that
she gets or takes leisure to look at her
epistolary treasures; but she is confident
that she will, and she is ever on the eve
of doing so. They may not be IN her
mind once year; they might be lost
without her ever missing them; never
theless, the thought of deliberately re-
ducing them to ashes would fill her with
stupeiaction and horror.
Letters only symbolic her symbolism.
1t is the same, though in less degree,
with numberless things-with wedding
cards, bridal outfits, invitations, pro-
grammes, faded flowers, ancient albums,
trashy books, old periodicals, worthless
pictures, babies cribs, faded gowns,
pieces of furniture, and many material
entities of more prosaic sort. They
are all dear to her fancy in the bulk, al
belt in detail they may have escaped her
memory. She heaps them up from year
to year; she crowds every nook and cor
ner with them; she carries them from
place to place; she could not be per-
suaded to part with them. They IN
some measure elucidate the quantity and
variety of her luggage, which defies her
comprehension. If she could, she
would hire warehouse for their be-
stowal, but, fortunately for the desired
space within the domains of civilization,
she is financially debarred. What be-
comes of her nterminable aggregations?
The rubbish gatherer alone can tell, and
he may be bound to secrecy by some
lingering respect for the sentimental
symbolism Of women New York

ion isof direct pecuniary interest to

he says, (after quoting the clause in

Major General w. $. Hancock.

In hosting the above name at the
head of'rour columns, we do it not
alone at the dictation Of the Cincin-
natl convention, but because General
Hancock is the best man the Democ-
racy has put up as its standard-bcarer
since the grounded arms of the nation
betokened peace in 1865. Educated
in the arts Of war, with the mein of
the soldier, his countenance always
beams with Kindness and gentleness,
and the straps of the general never
hid from sight the yilian-the lover
of liberty and the advocate Of justice.
AT the close of the war the Repub-
lican party divided the Confederate
States into satrapsies and placed over
them military officers, who were alb
solute rulers. General Hancock was
placed in command Of Louisiana and
Texas, whore he had the power to
suspend laws, suppress local tribu-
nails and remove civikmagistrates.-
Here was n chance to exercise mill
tary power without hindrance; but
the General proved himself to be
well vcrsed in civil government, and
made tho best ruler of all tho mill
tary officers possessing civil powers.
He assumed direction Of the satrapsy
in November, 1867, with headquar-
ters at New Orleans, and continued
in command until the following
March, when he was relieved at his
own request, on account of General
Grants interference with his admin.
istration of the Department.
The government held that these
Southern States were not yet recon.
structed and should not have author
lty to govern themselves, and there
fore placed military commanders
over them. The first order of General
Hancock, showed that he differed
from the Administration. In that
order he said; "Whon insurrection-
airy force has been overthrow and
peace established, and the civil au.
thorities are ready and willing To
perform their duties, the military
power should cease to lead and the
civil administration resume It's nat.
