Everett on the Comet.

Here is Edward Everett's beautiful apos-
trophe to Donati's comet published in 1859:
Return thou mysterious traveller, tn the
depths of the heavens, never again to be.
seen by the eyes of men now living! Thou
hast run the race with glory, millions of
eyes have gazed upon thee with wonder, but
they shall never look upon thee again.
Since thy last appearance in these lower
skies, empires, languages and races of men
have passed away: the Macedonian, the
Alexandrian, the Augustan, the Parthian,
Byzantine, the Saracenic, the Ottoman
dynasies sunk or are sinking into tie gulf
of ages. Since thy last appearance old con-
stinents have relapsed into ignorance and
new worlds have come out from behind the
veil Of waters. The Magian fires are
quenched on the hill-tops of Asia; the
Chaldean seer is blind: the Egyptian hero
grsmmist, has lost his cunning; the oracles
are dumb. Wisdom now dwells in furth-
crest Thule, or in newly discovered worlds
beyond the sea. Happy when, wheeling up
again from the celestial abyss, thou art once
more seen by the dwellers upon the earth,
the languages we speak shall be forgotten.
and science shall have fed to the upper
most corner Of the earth. But even there
His hand that now marks out thy wondrous
circuit shall still guide thy course; and then,
anon, Hesper will smile at thy approach,
and Arcturus, with his suns, rejoice at thy
coming. !" -

Garihaldi.

A correspondent of the New York Mail
thus describes the present appearance of
Garibaldi: Il never in all my life beheld a
being so deathlike If I had not seen his
lips and eyes move should have believed
him to be dead. His face was absolutely
hvid, the yellow white OF corpse, and his
hair and beard are perfectly white. His
eyes, however, retain fire. and move about
from side to side, following people around
the room, without. however, his changing
his attitude in the least degree. The ex-
preston of his countenance is one of pro-
found sadness, not unmingled with great
sweetness. At the close of conversation
with him, the old hero said, If you have
the chance, pray you tell the English and
the Americans that old Garibaldi, worn and
weary remembers their generous sympathy,
and still loves them dearly" $50 m

The White House Mail.

Washington dispatch says: About one
hundred lettens day are received at the
White House, addressed either to Mrs. or
Mr.. Garfield. During the earlier stages Of
the presidents illness the letters were
mostly to him. Now they are generally
addressed to Mrs. Garfield, and express
the writer's sympathy with her. Most of
them bear evidence of being written by
persons of inferior attainments, but at the
same time they testify to the genuine senti-
ment of the people in their distress. Of
course these letters are opened. by Private
Secretary Brown or his assistants. OF late
the letters have been Of an advisory kind.
Very frequently they Recommend the dis
missal of the present corps of physicians
and the adoption Of treatment favored by
the writer. Many of them urge trial of
homeopathy; others advise the trial of mag
netlc influences as produced by the laying
On OF hands. Some persons send charms;
others profess to have dreams about the
president, and tell exactly how he can be
cnred. Holy water is sent by
Roman Catholics, with the advice
that if little of it be poured on
the wound 1t will be Immediately healed,
and the efficacy of this cure is vouched for
from personal experience. The spiritual
lists have found out great deal about the
case through some OF their mysterious
methods, and many Of the letters come.
from them. OF course, quacks and pre-
tenders are not lacking in this daily tor
rent of advice. but most of the letters are
evidently inspired by honest purpose. Long
and expensive cable messages are some
times received, and these are couched in.
the same tone Of admonition and advice that
characterizes similar documents coming
from the people in this country. All sorts
of medicines, herbs and salves, that are
pronounced infallible, form part of the
daily cargo of-useiess stuff sent in to the
White House. At any time the president
of the United States is the recipient Of many
absurd letters, but at present their number
is enormous. A letter received asks the
president to have the writer's pension in
creased as his lungs have now given way,
IN addition to his former ills, and an i'm
mediate reply is requested. This much Of
the curious document was deciphered, but
who the writer is or where he writes from
can not be made out, except that he lives
in Illinois. Temperance advocates appear
in force, insisting that whisky and other
stimulants be stopped and beef extract
substituted.

A Saratoga special to the Chicago Tribune
says: Eli Salter of Mendon Wis, employed as
tutor in the family of Charles L. Colby OF
Milwaukee, stopping at the United States hotel,
has not been seen since q O. clock last Friday
afternoon, and Mr.. Colby fears that the Young
man, who is about eighteen years Of age, has
been foully dealt with or suddenly afflicted
with temporary mental alteration, and has
wandered to some unfrequented place and died
from exposure Telegraphic descriptions of
young Salter have been sent TO every town and
hamlet throughout this section, and the detect
ives are searching in every possible direction.
Saiter was employed as tutor for mr.. Colby's

were very much attached to him. he has been
IN the service of Mr.. Colby about six weeks,
and had been recommended to him
by Dr. Jewett of Milwaukee, one
OF the trustees of the academy
where Salter had passed successful course Of
study. Salter is the son of widowed mother
IN straltened circumstances, and Is spoken of
as remarkably bright, religiously inclined, and
OF an extremely retiring disposition. Mr..

member Of the family came East to New York
about Six weeks ago, where, after remaining
few days, they proceeded to New London,

worked very hard to secure an education, and
1t was Mr.. Colby's purpose to assist him
through college. few months since he at
tended the academy at Beaver Dam, Wis, and
while there studied SO hard that he has at
times been troubled with insomnia, which Mr.
Colby fears may have temporarily affected his
brain. He was receiving good wages in his
new position, and he never complained of any
thing, except that the strata Of society IN which
he was now thrown and brought in contact
WITH was lar above the humble condition in

tectiyes are of the opinion that Salter has be-

project of going back alone to Wisconsin to see

The papers have said so much about
Mary Anderson's limbs being attenuated
that she told an interviewer her opinion Of

Of the fact that would not appear to adj

advised newspaper men to keep their hands
off this subject, and to attend strictly to
Mary's voice and gestures. We do not care
if her legs are like corrugated copper light

her art is what touches us. Her soulful
eyes, and mouth full of gum, are enough to

ployed as young Thayer's tutor, to prepare
him for the approaching examination for
admission to Yale college. Thayer and his
preceptor, so far as appearance indicate,
are not working SO hard over their books as
to endanger their health, and, SO far as I
can see, the $500 per month and expenses,
which the hotel gossips say Mr. Brown re-
ceives from the senator for bringing the
sons education up to the required standard,
will result in thorough knowledge of bill

Female Slavery.
Buffalo tOnriei

Buffalo Courier
Paul Boynton, in his trip down
the Missouri, has run across q curl
Gus matrimonial custom, that the
government should look into. One
night he was entertained by a ranch
er named George Mince. A comely
squaw presided over his household,
and three pretty half-breed children
called him father. To his guest he
confessed the fact that he had
bought this woman at Standing
Rock Agency, for horse. lie pur-
chased her as a substitute for his In
dian wife. whom he had bought sew
eral years ago, married.. overworked
and maltreated until she ran away.
The squaw is kept hard at work,
and the husband or master does not
allow her to sit at the same table
with him, and beats her whenever
he plcases. What Mince has done
is common thing among his neigh
bors. "This system of female slav-
ery," says Boynton, s'is much more
extensive than the public generally
suppose. Scores Of white men are
accumulating wealth from the phys
ical labor of these poor women and
their children" Captain Boynton
says that few days ago a white
wood-cutter bought a 12-year-old
Indian girl for $50 at the Berthold
Agency, and it was regarded as an
ordinary business transaction. As
all half-breed Indian children are
entitled to rations and clothing from
the Indian Agencies, the importance
Of this immoral slavery question, as
a mere matter Of governmental econ
omy, is self-evident. This is a
phase Of the Indian question which
is kept in the background, but it is
a fruitful source of evil and misery
which needs immediate attention.
