Mf. BancrOft at Newport
Ruhamah in st. Louis Globe Democrat
The cottage of George Bancroft is quite as
secluded, and is approached by shady lane
turning out Of Bellevue avenue, that does not
afford glimpse OF the pretty place by the sea 1t
leads to. The house is a plain, little, brown
frame cottage, with vine-hung porch and q
broad, airy hail. There is no lavish display
made, although everything in the Bancroft
ne'adge has an arstocratic flavor, and the his
torian is looked up to by all circles of island
society. With his two secretaries and two large
libraries or work rooms at his disposal he con-
tinues his labors on his great history during the
summer He is strictly methodical in his work,
devOtng certain hours in the day to research
and composition. He dictates everything to his
secretaries. who write it out for his inspection
from their shorthand notes. but by the after
process Of rewriting, correcting and changing
he attains that wonderfully clear, polished
style that render his volumes such monu-
ments of literary art. In the month of
june, when Mr.. Bancroft generally arrives
here his famous rose garden is Just bursting
into bloom. and for weeks the aged historian
spends his leisure hours tending and tying
clipping and enjoying the 800 varieties of roses
that grow so iuXuriantly for him. During their
season Mr. Bancroft sends lavish presents of
his rare roses to friends and neighbors, and his
house is continually perfumed by them. The
young ladies especially admire this friend. and
he in turn has the greatest love for young peo-
pie. saying wise and pleasing things to Them
and making many jOcOse sallies. The bellies
delight to show their boquets to him, and he
more than any one else, enjoys the great JAG
queminOts and Mermets they offer him a sniff
Of Now past his fourscore years. his mind is
as bright and active as ever. and his spirits as
gay as boys He rides horseback like caya-
lier, pacing forth on a Kentucky thoroughbred
that is his pet and pride next after his roses
The white-haired rider on his black horse is
known on every street and thoroughfare Of the
town. and there is not lane or byway on the
earliest OF the cottagers to arrive, he delays his
departure until the last glorious days of Indian
summer are gone, and then reluctantly leaves
his seaside cottage for his Washington resi-

From the Toledo (Ohio) Blade.
Gen. Steedman tells good story which is
applicable to the manner in which the aristo-
cratic Sixtieth Rifles recently skipped out in
front of Ramleh and gave everything up to the
Egyptians. While near Nashville the General
had negro regiment on the picket line. and a
bright young mulattO sergeant in command of
a post got the drop on a rebel post and cap
tured the whole outfit. The rebels were
crowd OF high stepping young Virginians, and
some of them were badly wrought up by the
idea of having to surrender toa 'lot of niggers."
Gen. Steedman took their commander, q fine
young fellow, into his tent, extended some little
courtesies to him. and in the course of the con-
versatiOn said: ut was little tough Lieuten-
ant, to be taken in by colored soldiers, but war
has strange experiences" ''Well, General"
said the other, sitting down his glass; 'Tve
been IN the army now nearly four years, and if
I've learned anything it has been profound
respect for the musket When the muzzle is
showed into my face don't usually ask any
questions as to who's got hold OF the breech"
Gen sherman tells nearly as good a story, in
his book. He was standing on the sidewalk in
st. Louis when Gen. Lyon went out with his
men to attack the secessionists at Camp jack
son. young lady of Gen. Sherman's &C
qualntance-daughter of one of the most aristO-
cratic families in the clty-was standing on q
stoop near by, wringing her hands and crying
She said her brothers, cousins and number Of
was certain that they would all be killed, for
they were proud, high-spirited men, belonging
to the best families in the city, and they would
die before they would yield. Gen. Sherman
tried to console her by saying that he had no.
ticed that sons of drst-class families were
usually not any more willing to die than other
people. He continued his walk, and in q little
while met Gen. Lyon returned with the entire
force at Camp Jackson, which had surrendered
without firing gun. He fastened back to
comfort the young lady with news Of her kins-
mems safety, but after she heard it she slammed
the door in his fare

Strangely enough, however, no woman wishes

detestation.

Tom laughed. His mOmentary sOftness had
evidently departed. He pushed back from his
brown forehead the wooden Tam o. Shanter

playing two rows of strong white teeth, the
most perfect, surely, in all the world.
"Here, hold the reins, cousin mine, and / will
relieve you Of my detestable company for a
bit" He flung himself out Of the dog-cart as
he spoke, and proceeded to walk up the steep
hill. Tom was singularly active and 1.-the; also
he had noble bearing. At the present time
he was clad In the most disgracefully old and
badly made clothes 1t was possible to wear;
his short rough coat was ragged and ill-fitting,
the sleeves and collar Of his shirt were frayed
at the edges and there was an air, almost ma
jesty, Of grace about him that would have be-
fitted . paladin Of romance, and that was
plainly visible despite his garb. As he strobe
on, his big sunburnt hand resting on the mares

whether indeed It we're possible to reconcile .

Tom ingenuously. "But the old mare disap-
proved of my plans, and split up, and went on
her way rejoicing"
"Oh, Toni"
$50 now you must walk home, Lefty. Or
stay, let us go as far as that white farmhouse
1t will do you good to rest bit, anyhow"
We walked awhile, and then, at a turn in the
road, we came upon Jerry, quietly grazing by
| the hedge, the broken rens hanging loosely
about her neck, and the old dog-cart, scarcely
injured, still at her heels. She allowed Tom to
go up to her and stroke her neck and examine
her hooks and fetlOcks with learned hand, and
lead her lfor she was not in the least hurt) in
the direction Of the farm.
Then, Tom, who was a master in such work,
embarrassed Jerry and took her round to the
stables. tended her and washed her. and
| mended the dOg-cart with sundry ropes and bits
OF wood, thereby EARRING the unbounded admi-
ration and respect of halt dozen loutish
laborers, while I sat in the good wifes parlor

exact ages of her nine children.

tians, talk, work and vote as chris

for party.
If we all should vote temperance
as we talk and pray temperance,
there would be such an upheavel
and overthrowing of the strongholds
of the liquor-curse in our State as
would astonish even ourselves.
Let us not talk and pray for the
success of the Temperance Cause,
and then 60 to the polls and vote
for a beer-keg, because it wears the
stamp of our party.
Courage and consistency, lead by
principle, will bring success. With
cowardice and compromise we never

be "The New Yearfor the Right"
