After Damages.


In 1864, while General Sherman
was marching through Georgia. the
Kings, wealthy family of Roswell,
owned a factory worth about $50. 900.
In order to keep Sherman from destroy
ing it they transferred it without con
sideraton to Theophile Roche, a
Frenchman employed in the factory,
whereupon the Frenchman raised the
French flag upon the property and
claimed protection of the property un-
der it. Sherman disregarded the flag
and burnt down the factory and put
Roche under arrest. Roche now sues
the United States for $50. 900 and inter-
est, damages for the destruction of the
property, and 5000 for his arrest and
Imprisonment, interest and all aggre-
eating about S125, 900. Chicago Herald

a COUNTRY THANKSGIVING.
TENNESSEE.

Ay, good man, close the great barn door:
The mellow harvest time is oeri
The earth has given her treasures meet
vi golden corn and hardened wheat
You and your neighbors well have wrought,
ana OIL the summers bounty caught;
Won from her smiles and from her tears
much goods, perhaps, for many years.
You come a tribute now to pay
The bells proclaim Thanksgiving Day.
Well have you sown, well have you reaped;
And of the riches you have heaped,
You think. perhaps. that you will give
n part, that others, too, may live.
But if such argument you use,
Your niggard bounty refuse.
No gifts you on the altar lay
In any sense are given away.
Lol rings from Heaven a voice abroad:
'Who helps Gods poor doth lend the Lord"
What is your wealth? He'd have you know
To have it, you must let 1t go.
Think you the hand by Heaven struck cold
VIII yet have power 10 clutch its gold2
Shrouds have no pockets do they say2
Behold, / show You then the way
Wait not till death shall shut the door,
But send your cargoes on before.
Iol he that giveth of his hoard
To help Gods poor doth lend the Lord.
To-day my brethren-do not wait;
Wonder stands Dame Kelly's gate;
And would you build mansion fair
In Heaven, send your lumber there.
Each stick that on her wood-pie lies
May raise "A dome beyond the skies;
You stop the rents within her walls,
And yonder rise your marble halls;
For every pane that stops the wind
There shlneth one with Jasper lined.
Your wealth is gone, your form lies cold,
But in the city paved with gold
Your hoard is held in hands Divine;
1t bears name that marks Ii thine.
Behold the bargain ye have made;
With usury the debt is paid.
No moth doth eat, no thieves do STEAL
No suffering heart doth envy feel.
Ring out the words: Who of his hoard
Doth help Gods poor doth lend the Lordf
Go get your cargoes under way;
The bells ring out THANKSGIVING Dayi

A MEMORABLE THANKS GIVING.

Thanksgiving week was always a
busy weeE at the Gates homestead, but
it seemed to Dear that it was buster this
year than ever. She couldn't quite I'M
derstand it, either, for as they were
coming home from church on Sunday
she heard her mother say to Aunt Mar
garet, with little break in her voice,
that she had mo heart for Thanksgiv-
ing this year" Dear knew why, and
she thought they would have a sorrow
full Thanksgiving, or, perhaps. no
Thanksgiving at all.
But tuesday mo ming there could be
no doubt that they were to have Thanks
giving this year, for there was what
Tiptop called ''boniire" made in the
great brick oven in the kitchen, which.
since Dear remembrance was opened
and heated only during Thanksgiving
week. Tiptop mounted chair so that
he could see into the oven, and shouted
''Filen and danced in ecstasy till, for
getting that he had only chair-bottom
for hoor, he danced of, and bruised
his nose, and had to be comforted by
Dear just when she was so busy seeding

sticks of hickory wood 10 heat the oven,
each holding an end, tugging it along
with great gravity and an occasional
fall on their toes, and if they were al
lowed to thrust small stick into the
oven, their satisfaction was complete.
Dear paused, in her hurried trips through
the Kitchen, to look into the blazing
depths and think of Shadrach, Meshach
and Abednego.
Then they all stood around to see the
Goals drawn out and the oven swept; and
when their mother, holding her hand
far in to test the temperature, solemnly
declared it was Just right" they
watched breathlessly while the loaf-cake
and spice-cake and cookies were care
fully put in, and breathed deep sigh of
relief when the oven door closed upon
the good thingscommitted to its keeping.
ednesdaY morning the oven was
heated again, and filled with mince-
pics, which came out so delightfully."-
brown and so deliciously fragrant that
the Gates children grew desperately
hungry, and thought Thanksgiving
never would come. And then such
pumpkin.pies, and apple-pies, and
tarts, and at last, as the evening drew
on, great DatcneS OF Drown bread and rye
bread and wheat bread filed the oven
TO the door.
When the chicken-pie and turkey
were ready for the oven next day, the
tired mother dropped into the low
rocking chair, and taking Tiptop on
her lap, looked YEARLY into the fire.
Let me hold Tiptop, mamma"
said Dear, thinking how tired her moth
er was; but her mother made answer
only by holding Tiptop with closer
arm. The children gathered around as
the twilight came on, and sitting there.
waited for their father to come. Grad
ually silence fell upon them all, broken
only by the subdued roaring of the fire
in the stove, and the loud ticking of the
clock on the mantel-shelf
As Dear listened, how wildly came
back that sorrowful night when she
stood and heard the clock ticking loud
er and louder, as Tiny gently breathed
her life away; and it seemed to Dear
that she would never again hear the
clock ticking in the night without think
-ng of that scene. She glanced at her

the contrary, came to the conclusion
that life was not worth living because

appear that his hanging himself was the

Perhaps every true Irishn :, who, to-
day stands on American soil has heard
OF the exciting day, when at tue Sessions
House in Dublin, Robert Emmet was
tried for high treason, being charged with
going ~ an emissary TO France. The
eRtire days trial was Of most intense
interest.
A few minutes after the Judges charge
and without leaving the box, tho foreman
OF the jury thus addressed the Court -
''My lords, l have consulted with my
brother jurors, and We are all OF the
opinion that the prisoner Is guilty" Mr..
Emmet, through his counsel, asked that
the judgment ofthe Court might be post
poned until tho next morning, This ro-
quest was not granted. The clerk of the
crown read the Indictment, and stated the
verdict found in the usual form. lie thon
concluded thus :--"What havo you, there
fore, now to say why tho judgment OF
death and execution should not bs award
ed against you according to law ?" Rob
Ort Emmet upon tho instant, exhausted
as he was by tse trial in which he had
taken an active par, made reply in
speech, which may safely be pro-
nsunced to be one of the most splen-
did and powerful illusions OF impassion-
ed eloquence and patriotic devotion which
ever fell, imprometu, from tho lips OF
man.
Messrs Watts & Godfrey have neatly
printed this speech on card board IA by
% inches in size, ready for noun ting
and will send it, postage paid, to any al
dress for the sum of 80 cents. 1t Is well
worth the money.
