Love and Friendship.
HOW THEY UNExPEorEDLY SPRING UP IN
 HE HUMAN HEART. ~.

. Does it require a. long time, days, weeks, months and years, to enable hu-' man beings to love one another? Does the human heart slowly and suspioious- ly lay upon one kind thought after an. other till the measure is full !? Many gentle words and kindling smiles pass from the lips, and yet the heart remains cold and untouched, and willing to lose sight of andto forget the object of its transitory tenderness. It may be so with many,, for the accidents of time teach different lessons. all equally nec- essary and wholesome perhaps to differ ept hearts; but before human nature has been sorely afflicted, tried or de- ceived, it's temper is open to kindness and joy i; and attracted by the sympa- thies of a common nature, why may not those who are strangers to-day be friends tomorrow Nor does the deep. est afaiction always close up the foun1' tain of love in the human soul. The saddest turn often in sudden restoration to the gay and joyful; like light stream ing in upon prisoner through the bars of his dungeon, are the smiles of faces not yet bedimmed by grief to the man of misery and he who hugs his sorrow close to his soul will often at once lay down the rueful burden to which he has so long clung with infatuated despair at the sight of youth, beauty and inno. cencs, rejoicing before him in untamed, fearless and triumphant bliss. There are also often sudden revelations of sympathy made between human beings by word, tone, look or a smile truth is then conveyed suddenly and easily into their spirit, and frem that moment they rest assured of each oth-' er's affection, and each others worth as much as if they had been mutually known for years. If there were not these strong and prevailing tendencies in our nature, the path of human life would be barren indeed, or the friend. ships that would spring up over them would, in general, be sown by the hand of interest or self-love.. But nature fol- lows other processes; and love and
 friendship at first sight, often spring up as necessarily as flowers expand from
 bud into blossom in the course of few
 sunny and dewy hours of one vernal
 morning. "' #+9 -. .,".

Another War Story.
A rEnEaRAPH OPERATOR TELLS US WHY
 GEN. HOOKER WAS DEFEATED AT
 CHANoELnoRsvILnE. .a +-- 4; .''|

CHANCE '.'s ...
 Mr.. B. F. Stedman writes to the St. Paul Pioneer Press letter, apropos of the recent death of Major Gen. Hooker, in relation to tue defeat of the latter by Lee at Chancellorsville, which he at- tributes to the failure of Gen. Sedgwick to obey orders. MT. stedman was telegraph operator at the Army Head quarters, and he quotes dispatch sent by Gen. Hooker ordering Sedgwick, who had been left at fredericksburg to keep Lee employed while Hooker gained his rear, to move immediately toward Chanoell llorsville; which order, if carried out as intended, would have placed Lees army between Rockers army and the Sixth Corps, under Sedgwick. Hooker gained the position, for which he marched under cover of Q dense fog, and, having placed it i"iust where he wanted it,n as he said, sent the following dispatch to, Gen, ButterAeld. Rockers Ohiefs of Staff, who had been left at the old camp to ,superintend operations:
 .a.I! U. s. .FonD, May 2, 1S63-9P. M. To Gen. Bt1tterJaeld Cbief oT Staf:
 The Major General commanding directs that Gen. Sedgwick croeses the Rappahannock, at Fredericksburg,d on the receipt of this order, and at once take up his llne of march on the Chancellorsville road until you connect with us. And he will attack and destroy any, force he, may fall in with on the road. He will leave all his trains behind hum, except the pack trains of small ammunition, and march Co be in our vicinity at daylight: He will probably fall upon the. rear of, the forue. 'com. manded by Gen. Lee, and between us we will use him up. Send word to Gen. Gibbons to, take position at Ffedeacks-

 J. H. VAN ALLEN,
 1.a. .,... Brigadier- General, A. D. O. ;. This dispatch was delivered to Gen. Sedgwiek on the same night an hour and half after it was written. Instead, says Mir. Stedman, of Gen. .Sedgwick moving so as to be in Rockers vicinity by daylight next morning. (the Sd, he did not, cross the river till 10 o'clock, when he captured the heights in the rear Iof the city about noon, marched g little, way, and then csmped for the night. He remained in the same spot till 4 in the afternoon of the day follow, ing l(the 4th.) By this time Lee had defeated Hooker, and now turned upon Sedgwiok, and by dark had utterly routed him. Mir. Stedman, says that had rSedgwick crossed the river and taken, the heights by daylight on tho Sd, then struck out for Rockers left, ht could have joined him by 8 o'clock, a' tho order called for; and striking Le' on the flank while Hooker attacked hin with his whole force, Lees arml must certainly have been disastrousl! defeated. o--. ... .... ..-.. .,.

Most remarkable results have attended the
trials lately made in Paris with electricity as
a means of controlling vicious horses. The ap-
pIication is made with a small electrical apa
ratus which can be easily manipulated by the
driver. The reins are made with a conducting
wire, which terminates in one end in bit
and at the other end is connected with the
electrical apparatus. By turning a crank a
current is induced, which, acting on the
mouth of the horse, surprises him that he
stops and remains passive. By another in
strument the electricity may be applied to any
portion of the horses body, and properly used
unfailingly corrects the animals vicious hab-
its. With the widest and most intractable
horses thi. sy stem of breaking has been. en-
ployed with perfect success.

OUR LUMBER TRADE ALL RIGHT.

The rumored sale Of the V. Il T. r. r. to
the G. P. r. R., is now looked upon by nine
men out of ten in the community as canard
started for political purposes. 1t has been
started before this, few months prior to cleo
ton, and has ceased to scare anybody who
knows anything about the ways and methods
of the local road managers. At the same time
there are plenty of timid persons in the COIN
munity who look confidently forward to a
commercial panic whenever such a canard is
foated. Those whose business it is to circu
late these cheerful stories, take their cue from
the Enterprise and point to the probable re-
suit of the change on the lumber interests.
Now let us see how the matter stands at pres
ent. ID. o. Mills is largely interested in the
lumber business at Lake Bigler, and in order
to protect his interests there charges s. per
thousand for lumber shipped over the G. P.
from Truckee, although he could make profit
at 81 90 per thousand. This cuts offall Truckee
competition with Lake Bigler lumber Now
it is urged that the c. P. road, in which Mills
is large owner, would 80 reduce rates to
enable Truckee lumbermen to deal directly
with Virginia City. If this be the case the
lumber business of Mills, Ysrington and Bliss
would be ruined. Now with these facts before
it, will the Enterprise still assert that Mills
will deliberately take the necessary steps to
ruin his own lumber business7 The lumber
trade of Carson will never be affected by
transfer Of the V. 1T interest to the C. P,
and furthermore 40 such transfer will ever be
made

The Chinese Letter Forgery.

When we went 10 pIess last week,
the preliminary examination of Philip
was completed. On Saturday, Judge
Davis decided that the evidence was
sufficient to hold Philip for trial on
charge Of malicious libel against Gen.
Garfield. The decision was very long
and full and reviewed all the impor-
taut facts in the case, and the evidence
in detail. In a most convincing and
fOrcible manner, Judge Davis showed
that there could not be the least shad-
ow of doubt that the MOrey letter was
a forgery. He exposed all the black
ness of the foul conspiracy, and COM
mented severely on Mr.. Hewitt's course
in connection with the letter. Mr..
Hewitt has written a letter defending
himself against Judge Davis criticisms.
The two peTjured witnesses, Morey
and Lindsay, confessed their part in
the scheme-said they were brought to
New York for the express purpose of
swearing to falsehood, gave the names
of the Democratic Statesmen" who in
duced them to perure themselves, and
one of them, at least, admitted that he
had been paid $50 by the National
Democratic Committee, as the price of
. his perjury.

Intimidation of the Bench.

The defeat of Judge Barrett by the
Legislature of Vermont is almost uni
versally condemned, except by those
who accomplished it. With these ex-
ceptiOns we have yet to see more than
one prominent newspaper, or single
prominent man who approves it. The
manner this was accomplished, or the
reasons alleged for the action, we will
not discuss here. Extracts published
elsewhere speak fully of these matters.
The action is of the character of intim-
idation. A few lawyers virtually say to
the Supreme Court, you see what is Ii
able to occur if you undertake to run
the courts in way which is obnoxious
to us. Judge Barrett, learned man,
quarter of century on the bench, is
bounced by the Legislature of Vermont,
led on by few lawyers, mainly from
Windsor county, who have a milf
against him. The verdict of people
both within and without the state is
that they made mistake.
