on. Let it stand for half an hour, so
the sago will soften; then boil until it
is clear. It will need careful attention
and constant stirring to keep it from
burning.
GINGER POUND CAKE.-Ginger pound

with coffee for breakfast. Take one cup
and half of sugar, one cup of New Or

eggs, one tablespoonful each of ginger
and of cinnamon. one teaspoonful of So

sugar and half cup butter beaten smooth
and favored with grated nutmeg.
SUCCATAsH.-Succata is an Indian
word, and the dish originated in early
days with the Indians. 1t is prepared
by cooking together green corn and
green beans. Take ears of sweet green
corn, then with sharp knife slice off
the ends OF the kernels and scrape out
the inside; do this until a sufficient
quantity is obtained. Then add fresh
green shelled beans in the same quanti-

May 18th, 1882. !
Mr.. Mauzy. Editor Of &aunton Specta-
tor:
Dear Sir.-I was one of the Confeder-
ate prisoners at Elmira, Chemung CO.,
N. Y, for ten months, and was released
on the 18th of May, 1866, just II years
ago. Not having sufficient food to eat
to appease my appetite or to maintain
my flesh, only weighed 81 lbs when
released. In an argument with a stall
wart, told him of the two prisoners
from North Carolina, who ate the dog
which belonged to Maj. Colts in conn
mand of the prison. His cruel and In
human treatment of the prisoners will
never be forgiven by US. I can refex
you to different men in Augusta and
Rockingham counties. I could give you
q true story about the starvation of the
prisoners, but not being accustomed to
writing, could not put it in proper
shape.
Jacob Liggett, lawyer of Harrison-
burg, was there, and also James Gray
of the same place. do not know any
one in Staunton who was in there. /
know some on Middle River by the
name of Wells, but don't know where
they live. J. 8. Guy, of Deerfield, Au-

dy, was there. The number of prison.
ers was thirteen thousand.
The first dog was eaten without the
knowledge of the owner, but whilst
cooking the second one In short piece
of stove-pipe, the boys were detected.
and they were thus disappointed in
having fresh meat that morning. The
allowance of meat was very small, and
that but once day.

that you would publish it, that they may

Pearls OF Thought.

Happiness is something to hope for
and something to love.
Every man is occasionally what he
ought to be perpetually.
It is good thing to learn caution by
the misfortunes of others.
A secret is too little for one, enough
for two, and too much for three.
Many men employ their first years SO
as to make their last miserable.
Faith builds the bridge of prayer that
spans the chasm of human need.
Let no one overload you with favors
you will find it an insuferable burden.
Gratitude is a fruit of great cultiva-
tiOn and not to be found among gross
people.
1t is with happiness as with watches;
the less complicated the less easily de-
ranged.
There are more fools than sages and
among the sages there is more folly than
wisdom.
Great deeds need to be tested by their
spirit. There can be no saintliness
without humility.
Never does man portray his own
character more vividly than In his man.
ner of portraying another's.
We judge ourselves by what we feel
capable of doing, while others judge us
by what we have already done
We do love beauty at first sight, and
we do cease to love it if it ia not accomr
panied by amiable qualities.
Instruction does not prevent waste of
time or mistakes and mistakes them-
selves are often the best teachers Of all.
The virtue of man ought to be meas-
ured, not by his extraordinary exer-
tions, but by his every day conduct.
Northing is rich but the inexhausti-
BILE wealth of nature. She shows US on
ly surfaces, but she is million fathoms

MahOne's Vote and Denial.
From the Washington Post.1


Senator Malone writes letter to Mr..
M. M. Moorman, Of Lynchburg, Virgin
la, explanatory of his vote by which the
bill permitting DR.. A. 3. Tebbs, q Con-
federate soldier, to enter the military
service of the United States was defeat
ed.
We shall be able to prove that Sena.
tor Malone has deliberately and inten-
tionally deceived his friend Major Moor
man, and through him the people of the
State of Virginia, and that in order to
do so he has been guilty of deliberate
and intentional falshood.
In order that Mr.. Mahone's position
may be clearly understood We briefly
state the case, The bill was comprised
III single paragraph. providing "that
DIR A. Sidney Tehbs, of Leesburg, Va ,
be and is hereby relieved from the ope-
ration of Section 1918 of the Revised
Statutes"
This section is as follows:-
No person who has served in any ca
pacity in the military, naval, or civil
service of the so-called Confederate
States, or either of the States in insur-
rection during the late rebellion shall
be appointed to any position in the
Army of the United States.
The Tebbs bill was reported by the
Military Committee of the Senate with
out a single objectionable committee
consisting of Messrs. Logan, Cameron ,
Harrison, Sewell, and Hawley-Kepub
licaus. and Cockrell, Maxey, Grover,
and Hampton, Democrats.
On the 26th of April the bill was
reached in its order on the calendar and
it's consideration objected to by Senator
Edmunds. That put it over one day
On the 9th it again came up and upon
a motion of Senator Garland to consid-
er it, the ayes and noes were called.
Senator Malone in his letter to Moor
man, says
II was not in the Senate at any time,
during the proceedings on the sO-called
Tebbs case, until the morning when the
resolution proposing to refer the bill
and all the amendments which had been
offered, to the Judiciary Committee,
was called in regular order"
This is falsehood, and an intention.

was weeping, sad and weary,
And the night was long ahd dreary,
Endless seeming to my child heart
Longing for the morning light.
, Pain and woe full sore were o'er me,
And the shaded lamp before me
Seeming to mock my bitter yearning,
Long ago one winter night.
Till my mothers soft caressing
Fell upon me like blessing.
As she told me of One who suffered
Bitter throes on Calvary;
Till hushed my sobs and crying,
On her gentle bosom lying.
While she told me Of the Savior
And His death upon the tree.
Told me o'er and Ger the story
OF the Christ-child and His glory &.
OF the shepherds wondrous vision
And the star of promise bright;
or the humble shed and manger
Grading the holy stranger;
OF the angels, praises singing,
Long ago, one winter night.
Stiller grew my hearts quick beating
As she told me Of the meeting,
At the tomb, one Sabbath morning
or the angels fair and bright.
Then, at last, the story ended,
Up to God a prayer ascended-
All, 1t all comes back SO plainly
To my fevered brain tonight!
AS upon my coach 1 languish,
Soothingly upon my anguish,
Like a star:.that breaks the darkness,
Or a ray Of morning light,
Comes the thought of that sweet story
OF the Christ-child and His glory,
That was told to hush my waiting,
Long ago, one winter night.
All! my burden seemeth lighter
And the darkness groweth brighter;
Pain and grief no longer DER me
Their dark wings Of sorrow cast;
Christ, my king, forexer reigneth,
And my soul no more com laineth;
Christ hath raised the veil OF shadows
From my wearied heart al last.

By THE AUTHOR OF "cURFEw MUST NOT RING
TONIGHT"
Two ships sailed out past the harbor bar
One beautiful autumn day,
More precious than all earth's jewels are
Was the freight they bore away.
There were fond farewells and anxious sighs.
And meeting Of loving lips;
There were earnest prayers, as from longing
eyes
Sailed the two love-freighted ships.
The sky was clear, and the sun shone bright,
When they left the harbor town;
But the storm-king rode on the deep at night,
And one Of the ships went down.
Two human ships set sail one day,
On a calm and sunlit sea;
From the port of home they sailed away,
And one was lost. All me!
There were hidden reefs Of crime and sin,
Ger which his life was tossed:
There were merciIess eddies to draw him in,
And he to life was lost.
When ships go down in the trackless deep,
We weep, and the church bells toll;
But Heaven mourns and the angels weep
When is wrecked the human soul.

UScLB ToM's CARD-An excellent
play thoroughly we'll performed. The
Historian has this to say Of the first per-
Torrance in Astoria Of the company
to visit Seattle next: A house filled
to overhowing greeted the Jay Ryal
Uncle Toms Cabin company at Liberty
hall last evening, and it seemed to have
q corresponding influence ON all the
actors in the company, for they all per-
formed their parts admirably. The
version embraces many new and inter-
esting features which relieve tho mon
otony of the old drama, and clothe it
with new garment as it were, hence
those not present last sveriug should
not fail to attend this afternoon or this
evening, as they will be rewarded with
three hours unrivallsd entertainment.
The special qualification of the COM
pany embrace actors and actresses of
rare merit; pack of veritable blood
hounds, which are by the way, thrill
ingly characteristic of ante bsllum
times; the Jubilee Singers, takes back
the memory wildly to the pastimes and
trials of ''oid slavery days." the cello
brated trick donkey, Jerry" another
important acquisition, and last but not
least the death and transformation
scenes OF Eva are exquisitely rendered.
L. X. StOckwell, as Marks the lawyer"
gives an inimitable Interpretation of
that eccentric character. His perfor-
nance is certainly creation and shows
the master Intelligence of that gentle
man. w. Ii. Lansing is careful and
painstaking actor, and as George
Harris" appears to excellent advantage.
Miss Eliza GlassfOrd as Eliza in her
perilOus flight across the Ohio and the
terrific fight with the blood hounds, was
superb, creating feeling of dread and
horror In every heart that gave wonder
fully realistic effect to tho we'll execu-
ted rendition of her part. Miss Sallie
Darlington as "Topsy" was tho best
ever seen In Astoria. and was thorough
ly appreciated by tho audience. Miss
Dolly Florence gave satisfaction as
Aunt Ophelia." Arthur McGregory as
Uncle Tom" elected rounds of ap-
plause. He was simply unsurpassed.
Sid. s. Hicks as Salmon Legree" in
terpreted his part in highly efficient
manner, sending a cold shudder through
one as he exsmplified the we'll known
cruelty OF that character. A word of
praise should be said of Pref. jacobson,
who is evidently gentleman Of refine
ment and n thorough musician. Tho
management Of this combination il in
good hands, and wo bespeak for
the combination crowded houses dur
ing their stay up north. A matinee
