TUESDAY, FEBRUARY s, 1881.

Our Washington correspondent "Mon-
tana,, gives us the outlines of a bill soon to
be introduced in congress, which provides for
the disestablishment of four territories
and their allotment to other territories
and states. Two objects are contemplated
by this disposition of them. One is, to give
the other territories a sufficient population
to entitle them to admission in the Union as
states. and the other to forever destroy the
Mormon power. The letter is ali interesting
one. and we gladly give space for its appear
ance.

THE OHARLEsToWN LADIES
written fer the spirit.1

- PA4Dsl
The flowers that ope to life tho fragrant
doors, the lilies and tho roses, their dainty
trasrancy catches life's early morn honey
Dec. TIL weary beo that fits from bud to
bud in search of his treasure, is not deceived
by the outward appearance of a brilliant
gowcr, but quickly elcvates the delicate
fiber in pursuance Of the houied ,Goccr, that
not only shines without, but is pure within.
Thus it is with the ladies, natures intrinsic
fowors, the brilliant stars of universal adj
miration, when they shed their fragrance Of
love, virtue and truth, all of natures oppo>
site sex must fall a victim to the nobility of
their courage. Flattery is vanity and adu-
lation; hence We must not adjust its procept.
ChaFlestown girls have tho virtue of
knowledgo and sociabili!5, which arc tho
chief attributes for tho enjoyment of life.
The lack of this virtue shows tho want of
culture. Aristocrats ars a naughty, ovor>
bearing aud proud people; such people be-
long to the intermediate classes of society.
Let other countries model after the fair
forms of Charlestown, who are ever ready to
welcome tho stranger and show the merits of
their appreciated kindness.

HARpER's FERRY, June 8, 1881.
= Dear Editor.-The popular summer re-
sort, Island Park, has been improved and
made still moro attractive, and excursions
are numerous. Tho 30th of May being q
national holiday, a large number came to
tho Park from Washington. Tho first train
brought 500. The 4th of July a larger ex.
cursion is expected. The wells have been
cleaned and new pumps put in, and the city
visitors, especially the Baltimoreans, can
quaf a goblet of pure mountain water with
out any animaleuls. Our citizens have
planted trees this spring, but still wo need
more, not only to afford shade, but to make
tho town moro attractive to Strangers. The
beautiful Gins of the city of Now Haven are
tho admiration of all who tour north. Some
trees are a great sanitary baneft, espacislly
tho crest cedar of Texas. Some trees wore
cut down in Trafalgar Square, London many
years ago, and a celebrated English physi-
elan considered it an irrcparable loss. OWING
to their chemical properties.
The weather is so beautiful here. and our
walks so lovely that fishing parties and others
in search of the trailing arbu,us are quito
the order of the day.
L am sorry not to be able to add = floral
tribute to the grave of our gallant doad, who
are t'sleeping their last sleep" in your beau>
tlioi cemetery. 1t seems as if our hills,
dotted with Laurel, the wild honoysuckle
and smaller fowcrs, join in the decoration
zero monies, aud their perfume goes upward.
Inc Washington Post in referring to M.y
Both, as q national decoration, SAYS:
"Hspry, indeed, the land whore ell the
people, without distinction of party or seq
ton, recognizing and rejoicing in but ono
Gag and ono n.tiouality, unite in floral trib>
utes to tho silent armies whose blood en>
riohed tho coil and caused their patriotism
to take deeper root; where. moro than this,
arc also deemed worthy of the freshest flow.
ers of May those other silent sleepers, who,
with a faith as honest as our, and with a
valor as sublime, laid down their lives in a
cause that was lost"
We appreciate the reference to our Cons
federato dcad, coming from q digui6od jour-
nal like tho Post.
Yours, OBSERVER.

AFR. EditoT.-Keep it before tho people
that they send men to Congress to make

mel walking the corridor outside. lie had
been in bed but a few minutes, N was
getting drowsy, when he distinctly heard
something under his BID, which lifted up
as If IA man was secreted there. Jackson
said lac leuped out OF bed and drew hi-
sword, aud examined the bed and the
room in vain. jackson then supposed he
hal been possibly dreaming ami resumed
his bed. just as ho vas thinking IL Was
