Stonewall jackson.

IN. Quad" of the Detroit Free
Press, who has been graphically sketch
ing the battles Of the war, concludes his
account Of tho great battle Of Gaines
Mill by the following tribute to Stone
wall jackson:
In these sketches Stonewall Jackson's
battles have been taken in reverse. We
found him first on the blood stained field
OF Authenticated at the close Of his
career, instead Of at the beginning. The
world knows how he fought there. We
found him at Kernstown, fighting one to
four, fighting, falling back grizzly, Civ
ing away to fight again We saw him
strike the Federal armies right and left
in the valley and fiji Washington with
white faces We found him at Fred
ericksburg on beds right, at Chancel-
louisville in Hookers rear, on his flank.
in his front. We have found him at
Gaines Mill Fate waited for him be-
fore striking last blow. II was the
hammer in his grasp which shattered the
Federal position. Without him Long
street and Hill would have been pressed
back-routed, annihilated.
A Christian in his faith--a child in
his sympathies--a General who cared
not for the worlds admiration as much
as for the comfort Of any single man who
followed him in his marches. He had
ehV courage vf 90 E-----l a. 1900
woman. The pomp and glitter Of war
were not for him. His banners grew
old and faded and shot-torn. His legions
grew ragged aud foot-soro and weary
No matter who hesitated--Jackson had
faith. No matter who hesitated--Jack-
son advanced. Fierce in the heat Of bat
tie, because it was his duty 10 kill, when
the roar of the cannon had died away the
groans Of the wounded touched heart
which had throbbed for every grosn.
Partisans may keep their bitterness
Of heart, but the world has spoken. The
man whom they hate died forgiving all.
Struck down at Charlottesville, amidst
the roar Of battle, he was removed to
die amidst the softest peace. Strong
men wept like children when they saw
that his last hour had come; but il thoy
had feeling Of revenge down under
their sorrow, he had none. With
malice toward none-with forgiveness
for all, his life went out as his pale lips
whispered: "Let us cross over and rest
under the green treos!' And may he
ever rest.

THE WATERPROOF.

by CELIA THAxTER.
A child looked up in the summer sky,
Where soft, bright shower had just passed
by;
Eastward the dark rain-curtain hung
And swiftly across 1t the rainbow sprung.
'Papa! papa what is itS" she cried,
AS she gazed with her blue eyes opened wide
AT the wonderful arch that bridged the
heaven,
,Vividly glowing with colors seven.
"Why, that is the rainbow, darling child !"
And the father down on his baby smiled
"What makes it, papa p' "The sun, my dear,
That shines on the water-drops so clear"
Here was a beautiful mystery
No more questions to ask had she,
But she thought the gardens loveliest flowers
Had floated upward and caught In the
showers
Rose, violet, orange, marigold-
In ribbon of light on the clouds unrolled |!
Red of poppy, and green leaves, too,
Sunaower yellow, and larkspur blue.
A great, wide, wondrous, splendid wreath
1t seemed to the little girl beneath
How did it grow so fast up there,
And suddenly blossom, high in the airr
She could not take her eyes from the sight
"Oh, lookp she cried, in her deep delight,
AS she watched the glory spanning the
gloom,
"Oh, look at the beautiful water-bloom p

I N asksd from Boston whether
Pfssidant Lincoln evor tendered tho
Chisf Jnsticeship Of the United States
- Charles Sumner, aud answer. no l
Chief Justice Taney died In October,
1854, and MI. Sumner Immediately
urged tho President to appoint ~ his
SUCCESSOR Mr.. Chase, who lad resigned
The Secretaryship q the Treasury some
three months before. There was then
much dissatisfaction with Lincoln's ad-
ministration, and tho friends Of Mr..
Chase we're openly and secretly urging
his nomination.
When Mr.. Sumner came TO Washing
ton no renewed his request that Mr..
Chase b. appointed, and had several in
terviews with MI. Lincoln on the sub
jeck One day Mr.. Lincoln suggested
that be send for Mr.. Chas, and frankly
tell him he wanted to nominate him A.
Chief Justice, and that he (Chase)
would make the greatest and best Chief
Justice the country had ever hsd, il he
would only give up the idea Of being
elected President. Mr.. Summer replied
that such statement, however frank it
might be, would never answer, as it
would not only expose him (Air. Lin
coln) 10 criticisms as wanting to pur-
chase an opponent, but 1t would be OF.
fensive to Mr.. Chase. as an attempt to
extort from him pledge that he would
never be candidate for the Presidency.
Mr.. Lincoln, who was quick-witted, saw
The force Of Mr.. Summers argument,
and pleasantly said "Well, take this
card and write on it the name Of the
man you desire to have appointed. Mr..
Sumner wrote "Salmsn P. Chase, and
Salmon p. Chase was promptly nomi-
mated ON the 9Th OF December, 1884.
Sumner urged tho immediate confyma-
ton Of the appointment, and, having
carried it from the Senate Chamber,
hastened 10 congratulate the new Chief
Justice. As he came out OF the room
In which he conveyed the news, he met
Mrs. Kate Sprague. who shook her in
dex finger ct him and said "And you.
too, Mr.. Sumner? Are you in this
business Of shelving papa? But never
mind. I will defeat you al |" Mr.
Sumner used to relate this incident as
showing how he hsd been rewarded for
what he regarded q one OF the most
praiseworthy acts Of his life. Beside,
Mr.. Lincoln was not the only candidate
for the Presidential chair who would
lose rival by the appointment Of Judge
Chase. MIR. Sumner had strong aspira-
tions in that direction, but don't think
that he regarded the bench OF the Su-
preme Court as . stepping-stone toward
the White House. Had the Senate
found Mr.. johnson guilty on the i'm.
parchment charges and had Ben Wade
thus become President, Mr.. Sumner
would have been his Secretary Of State,
and I am not sure that this did not in.
fiuence Mr.. Fcssenden in his veto Of
"Not Guilty" Had Gen. Grant offered
Mr.. Sumner the sau,e position it would
have been accepted, with the UNDER
standing that he was to manage the for
eign policy untrammelcd. Ben I'erley

A Den Broken Up.

CHICAGO, December 25.-The more that
the police learn regarding the den of pre-
natal murderers captured in madame Van
Nornum's place on the West Side, Satur-
day night, the more they are satisfied with
their work in discovering and breaking it
up. The first intimation of its existence
came to the police two weeks ago. A wo-
men was then engaged under detective ser
vice for the special purpose, She made
herself up as a patient and was ad-
mitted, bringing the case to q focus,
when she admitted the police in on
time to witness an operation performed on
another young woman. DR.. George Kel-
logg, the physician to the establishment,
who has also been arrested, is regular
graduate from q Chicago college and has
had for many years a good practice. Not a
word Of suspicion was ever heard against
him until the present charge. 1t was the
source of enormous profit to Madam Won
Nornum. who has been successful in black
mailing her patients and gentlemen friends.
As many as Twelve abortions have been per
