DEAR NoRTHERNER:-We spent the day
yesterday among the Alps. Our journey of
over 200 miles will ever be remembered as
among the especially pleasurable experiences
of life. The panorama along the river
Rhone beggars description. The rugged
peaks and crags of lofty mountains stretching
away on either side in imposing grandeur,
impresses the mind of the beholder with a
sense of vastness and sublimity. The valleys
are fertile, and are dressed in green and
fowery beauty. Grass and wheat are eight
or ten inches high, and garden vegetables
are growing nicely. The small fields are
nicely titled by busy workmen and evidences
of thrift are abundant in many places, but,
rising above the vale, the crown of perpetual
snow and ice is clearly seen on the giddy
SUBMITS of the grand Alpine mountains. So,
at our feet, the verdure of spring is smiling,
while far above US the silence and SHOWS of
winter preside. In many instances the brave
mountaineer has built his humble home
nearly up to the snow line and feels to say
with others ali over the world, "Be it ever so
humble, there's no place like home" The
main point of industry aimed at in Swtzer-
land is that of wine. Almost every rod of
tillable ground on the mountain slopes is
used for raising grapes. The women are
useful il seems, as well as ornamental. in
lending helping hand in tilling the soil. l
saw them yesterday driving oxen. or cows,
for both are used in the yoke, leading dom
keys, or holding the pillow, digging bitches,
planting, hoeing spading, herding sheep and
goats, and, in fact, doing all kinds of manual
labor. About ) p. nj. We passed through the
celebrated Mont Gents Tunnel. only three
miles from the Switzerland line. 1t is ~
miles long and took % minutes to pass
through it. There was no unpleasant odor
OF gas, and a feeling of safety seemed to
possess me as we penetrated the rocky old
fastness of ages. We noticed several peaks
so high that the sun shining on the snow
had created vapor which, rising as a bright
cloud, appeared as a veil held by an angel
hand. as if to say, come not too near the
dwelling place of the Most High. Well. as
the sun was sinking in the west. gliding the
snow with indescribable beauty. felt to say
in my heart, oh where is the painter who can
produce anything like the original of the
wonderful scenes of the day. ] expect to be
in Rome next Lords Day. G.P. LINDEEMAN.

The DETROIT Free Press speaks of eau
Gus of Ohio's democratic senators recently
held at Covington, KY, under the caption of
"Ohio's Infamy." A more appropriate head
line could not have been devised. For once,
at least, the Free Press was right. The
spectacle of men, who were elected to the re-
sponsible position of legislators, and who
have taken an oath to perform their duties as
such, skulking and hiding and exiting them
selves from their native state to avoid the
performance of those duties, and to shirk the
responsibilities that devolve upon them as
senator's, is indeed infamous. 1t is only
within the ranks of the democraticparty that
such thing could occur.

jeff Davis.

Il have prayed to God to live to see the
day when both Lincoln and Grant were dead
and in hell, and, as my prayer has been
granted am ready to die The foregoing
quotation is vouched for by Norman Porter,
q grandson Of Ex-Governor Porter of Penn
sylvania, who was present and heard jeff
Davis utter the atrocious sentiment in his
recent speech at Montgomery, Ala. The old
traitor labors under fearful mistake if he
thinks that the Almighty ever listened to
such an infamous prayer. That Davis has
been spared as long as he has is but an ex-
emplitcation of the old adage that the devil
cares for his own Mr.. Porter was so indig-
nant that. regardless of the consequences to
himself, he called ont, 1T is pity that JEFF
Davis was not hung at Fortress Monroe"
The result of this exclamation was that be
was Immediately attacked by some chivalrous
southron, who came up behind him and
slashed him with a knife. The sentiment
uttered by Mr.. Porter is, nevertheless, most
heartily endorsed by the loyal people of the
North. Our government never committed a
graver error than when it released the
master traitor of the nineteenth century,
who, coward like, had attempted to escape
rnerited retribu.ion in petticoat disguise.
Every allusion to the war and its results by
a northern man or by the northern press is
jeered at as "waving the bloody shirt and as
an attempt to keep alive feeling of section
alism, but old JEFF can swing the eusanguined
garment, eulogize the lost cause, revile the
Nations honored dead. receive the applause
of his deluded worshipers and have his
pathway strewn with flowers, without calling
forth the faintest word of condemnation
from those who stand in such terrible fear of
the "bloody shirt" Boys who wore the blue
you who bear the scars of honorable wounds
received in defending your country against
the treason of this man Davis, you who sac
rifced all for your country, how do you enjoy
these things? Parents whose sons sleep in
unknown graves, their lives offered up will
ling sacrifice on the altar of liberty, do these
exhibitions of southern disloyalty carry balm
10 your wounded hearts? Must the North
acknowledge that she was wrong and the
South was right? The rank and file were
forgiven long ago, and we were all willing
that even the champion traitor himself
should live out his dishonored days in peace.
We could forgive but we cannot and will not
forget.

We have received No. 3. Vol. 1 Of The
Forum new magazine published by The
Forum Publishing Co., 81, 9th Ave-, N. Y.
and edited by Lorettus s. Metcalf. Typo
graphically, the Forum is beauty, and the
quality of its contents is even better, If pos
sible, than its outward dress and appearance.
In Our opinion il is ahead of any other
publication of its kind. 1t numbers among
its contributors some of the very best
writers of the day, and discusses from an
independent and non-partisan stand point
the live issues of the times political social,
religious, etc. We most heartily recommend

allure. Price $500 per annum, 80 cents per

Jefferson Davis proposes to keep alive the
subject of the lost cause and, if he had
his way. would still break up the Union.
His present "craze" consists in appealing to
the women and children of the South to
keep the fires of secession burning. and
while they may cheer and cover the old fool
with roses, every loyal American publication
will condemn. Neither the Grand Army
boys of the North nor the ex -confederates
of the South have any occasion to applaud
the folly of JEFF Davis, the arbitrator.

CAPT. j. II. HENDRIX, who was an unsuc-
cessful applicant for the Decatur postoffice,
seems to be somewhat dissatisfied with the
appointment of Mr.. Ransom Nutting-
Uncle Ranse-his successful competitor, and
has preferred charges against him; 50 say
the Washington dispatches. Strange, that
family quarrels should be so common in the
democratic camp. Postoffice seems to be
the rock on which they split. For the sake
of harmony, there ought to be fewer aspi-
rants or more offices.

the character of the man and the doctrines

from under bed, woman's bed, and a
woman of ill-repute at that. Nice dignified
