Savannah, Ga, Weekly Echo: The Peo.
pies Advocate man at Washington, is
aware of the fact, that the Freedmens
Saving Banks have become defunct. He
cannot honestly deny that the Grand Old
Party did not rob the colored people OF the
United States. through their henchmen
and wire.pnllers, who were scattered broad
cast over the land. They plundered the
numerous vaults of the Freedmen's Saving
Banks, and with the money OF thousands
OF poor laborng men, women and children,
gave big dinners, purchased fine houses,
and embarked in worthless business ven-
lures. Were such actions on the part of
the Federal bosses right? No, a thonsand
times no and if the Peoples Advocate man
desired to speak truthfully in regard to tine
matter, lie could but say, it was one of the
robberies OF robberies. The bosses are not
yet contented, they are seen daily Caucus
ing together, devisng plans by which an
other gigantic steal may be perpetrated on
the colored people.

Extensive Land Slide.

News from St. Ellie, in the county of Maskinonge, Canada, shows that on Monday evening, about nine o'clock, a land slide took place on the bank of the River Yamachiche which blocked up it's course and carried away acres of farm, brush and heavy timbered land, doing great damage in all directions. On one hand farmer bewailed the loss of four or five acres of land he had just plowed, while on another 8 farmer whose farm had been divided by the stream had his property joined together by the slide. This give and take busi- ness prevailed over the full extent of the singular movement. The damming up of the river caused the formation of a lake some thirty feet deep, and parties who went to the scene canoed over the submerged forest of elms and naples The river having as yet no outlet, further devastation is feared, unless the gangs of men now engaged in opening channel through the slide shall succeed in their efforts. The occurrence has caused dire consternation among the simple minded French Canadian farmers of the district, who for time believed that the end of the world had come when they heard the crashing of the broken trees and the rumbling of the earth.

A PURITAN LOVE LETTER.
The Peculiar Epistle that was Written by
 John Winthrop.
From the Boston Traveller.1


 Perhaps the oldest love-letter ever written was one from John Winthrop to his third wife a short time before they were married. He was 8 Puritan of the straightest sect; so was she; the two were equally matched so far, and he &C., cordingly addressed her in the strangest adaptation of Scripture language to the purposes of courtship ever seen. He begins :-"Grace, mercy, and peace, etc. My own beloved spouse, my most sweet friend and faithful companion of my pilgrimage, the happy and hopeful SUD- ply, next Christ Jesus, of my greatest losses . Che had lost two wives) "I wish thee 9 most plentiful increase of all true comfort in tue love of Christ, with a large and prosperous addition of what ever happiness the sweet estates of holy wedlock, in the kindest society of lov- ing husband, may afford thee. Being filled with joy of thy love, and wanting opportunity of more familiar communion with thee, which my heart fervently de- sires, am constrained to ease the bur- den of my mind by this poor help of my scribbling pen, being sufficiently assured that though my presence is that which thou desirest, yet in the want thereof these lines shall not be unfrllitful of con- fort to thee.
 "And now, my sweet love, let me solace myself in the remembrance of our love, of which this spring time of our acquaintance can put forth as yet no more but the leaves and blossoms, while the fruit lies wrapped up in the tender bud of love little more patience will disclose this good fruit and bring it to sure maturity. Let it be our care and labor to reserve these hopeful buds from the beasts of the field, and from frosts and other injuries of the air, lest our fruit fall off ere it is ripe, or lose aught in the beauty and pleasantness thereof. Let us pluck up such nettles and thorns as would defraud our plants of their due nourishment; let us prrlne offsuperfuous branches let us not stick at some labor in watering and maturing them the plenty and goodness of our fruit shall recompense us abundantly. Our trees are planted in fruitful soil the ground and pattern of our love is no other but that between Christ and His dear spouse, of whom she speaks as she finds him. z My well beloved is mine and I am his. , Love was their banQueting house, love was their wine, love was their ensign i; love was his invitings, love was her faint ings; love was his apples, love was her comforts love was his embracings, love was her refreshings love made him seek her, love made her seek him love made him wed her, love made her follow him ; love made him her Saviour, love made her his servant. Love made our fellowship, let love continue it, and love shall in crease it until death shall dissolve it. Amen"

Together Again.

Nearly half a century ago sturdy Pennsylvania farmer by the name of Love started for the far West with his family, but being robbed on the way of all his> money he had to leave his three children with strangers while he and his wife toiled ahead on foot. But they did not prosper and never accumulated enough money to send for their children, who, as years went on, were themselves separated and lost all trace of one another and of their parents. Now in their old age they have learned of each others existence and that their mother is still alive at Winona, Minnesota, and are planning family reunion.

A PATENT HELD VOID.
The Owners of Greens Drive.Well BeateI
 By Farmer's Alliance.

The Federal court at Des Moines, Iowa, has finally rendered an opinion on the question of the validity of Nelson w. Greens drive-well patent, case that has been pending for some time. The court holds that there are two well estab- lished instances of prior use of the prin- ciple involved in this patent, one of them being at Independence, Iowa, where a well was sunk in the early summer of 1861 and the other at Milwaukee, where a large number were put down as early as 1849, the patent to Green not having been issued till 1868, and the application of the principle not having been discov- cred and put into use by by him until after the we'll at Independence was proved success. The court holds that Colonel Green made no effort to prevent the use of his discovery by the public for about seven years, and it is upon this showing, more than the fact that the Iowa and Wisconsin wells antedated Colonel Greens discovery and applica- tion of the principle, that the patent is held void. The court also held that the issue was void for the reason that it set out broader claim than was contained in the original patent.
 Over 300 actions, principally against farmers, for damages were pending in this court on this patent. Many more had confessed judgment and settled at heavy costs, and still others had paid the royalty exacted by the drive well agents who, few years ago. swarmed over the Iowa prairies hunting up causes for action. So annoying had these prosecutions become that defen- sive alliance of farmers was formed, and many defended their premises with shot, guns against the incllrsions of drive well agents, and in several cases mob law was threatened. Theresult was an appeal to the courts, with the result as announced. If sustained by the Supreme Court, the farmers of the Northwest will have gained signal victory over hitherto most exacting monopoly. The opinion of the court is considered as significant in that it possibly foreshadows the result of certain barbed-wire patent suits to be decided this term, and as showing that when there are doubts as to the validity of patents which cannot be removed, the court will see that the interests of the owners of the patents shall suffer rather than the interests of the public who use the same.

Irish Landlords.

Viscount Middleton, in recent speech in the House of Lords, gave some strik- ing facts concerning the position to-day of Irish landlords. One large landlord in the West has had his estates-the rents of which were very much as he found them reduced forty per cent, and, as there are charges on the property, the landlord is now left penniless. The smaller gentry, he said, were for the most part ruined. Four years ago a school of which he had some knowledge had sixty scholars. It now has seven, for the smaller gentry are quite unable to give their children an education.
