some UnwrItten History.

Washington correspondence, Ii: A
member OF the confederate congress said
the other day that there was chapter
In the history Of the rebellion that had
never yet been written. He was hop
ing that some of the members of the
confederate congress would take up the
topic and put it In the form of a book.
He referred to the story OF the secret
sessions OF the confederate congress.
no record OF which has ever been pub
lished. In speaking of the things which
described an offer made by France
TO the confederate government.
France offered to recognize the con-
fsderacy upon one condition, and that
was that they would give up slavery.
England offered to recognize the com
federacy ii they would agree to let her
have cotton at l21a cents pound. Both
OF these propositions were rejected.
When Mr. Yancy returned from Eng
land he made an address to the confed-
crate congress, and in that address he
showed how the confederacy could not
have succeeded. He said that the
foreign powers of Europe did not
care TO make treaties with an alleged
nation which did not acknowledge the
supremacy of the central authority.
The absolute independence of the states
to the central governments stood always
in the way of their securing any recog-
milton. This gentleman said that ii the
confederacy bad succeeded in separating
itself from the union it would have
failed wretchedly, and would
have been begging its way
back into the union within
the next five years. With it's weak cen.
tral authorltyit would not have been
able to protect its borders, and with the
jealousy of the states of each otEer an.
archy would have soon resulted. He
aaid there was no man in the south to.
day who would ever care to renew the
experiment. of separation.

1t is a number of years since Yankton
made an earnest effort toward securing
immigration to occupy the unimproyed
and unproductive lands in the county.
The county contains thousands of acres
that invite cultivation-the lands are
the beat in the world and every advan-
tage afforded by an old settled country
ia markets, educational privileges,
churches, low taxes, a heaithful clim ate
and enterprislng neighbors, are offered
to industrious farmers. There is strong
flow of home seekers to the northwest
this spring, many of whom have. no
definite point IN view. Yankton may
secure share of these by we'll directed
effort and without delay, A hundred
farmers added to the county means o
large acquisition to the trade of the citv-
it means alBo an increase of the taxable
wealth--a larger voting population and
a consequent increase of representatives
in conventions and legislatures. 1t is
very desirable for many important
reasons that our vacant lands be made
productive and our population increased
and the earlier it is done the sooner
will the people here enjoy the benefits
flowing from it.

FOREVER YOUNG.

The wild world hastens on its way; the
grey haired century nears its close;
Its sorrow deepens day by day; the sum-
mer blush forsakes the rose.
But, darling, while your voice I hear, and
while your dark-Drown eyes see,
Sad months and sunless seasons drear, are
all the same, all glad to me-
Despair can never reach me while your
soft hand hold:
While your eyes love and teach me, never
shall grow old!
They say that love forsakes the old: that
passion pales and fades away;
That even loves bright locks of gold must
lose their charm and change to grey.
But, darling, while your heart is mine, and
while feel that you are true,
For me the skies will ever shine with sum
mer light and tenderest blue.
Yes, let old age deride me! l scorn his
mocking tongue.
Dear love, with you beside me, am for
ever young

San Francisco is, you might say, a city
built almost entirely of wood. Very lit
tie brick or stone is used even for founda-
ton purposes and we find very many of
the finest residences and other buildings
set upon wooden posts, the intervening
space between the house and the ground
being ceiled up. The architecture has a
uniformity of appearance and is peculiar
to this coast alone, we never having seen
anything like it before in any of the
cities of the Union.
The dwellings are, asa rule, set with
one end to the street, generally within a
few feet of the walk. With highly-orna-
mentcd front elevation carried up square
above the gable and with half-round or
square protruding bay-windows reaching
from the ground 10 the top of the build
ing, an exceedingly pretty and attractive
house is the result. The siding used is
uniformly about ten inches in width and
is known as drop-siding. The favorite
and prevailing color in paints is drab.
The public buildings and hotels as well
as the private residences, are mostly
built of wood, probably from the fact
largely that this is a country subject to
earthquake visitations, and it is undoubt-
edly thought that houses constructed of
wood would o be SO liable to tumble
about ones ears as would brick and NOR
tar.-Cor. Cleveland Leader.

The Hindoo idea of marriage is curious:
A man both day and night must keep

tons. If the wife have her own free
will, Notwithstanding she is of superior
caste, She will go amiss. A woman shall
never go out of her house without the
consent Of her husband, and shall pay
proper respect to her husbands father,
the spiritual guide and her guests, and
shall not eat until she has first served
them with v~ictuals Gf it is medicine, she
may take it before they eat); a woman
shall never 90 to a strangers house, and
shall not stand at the door and must
never look out of the window. If a
woman, following her own in%clinations,
goes whithersoever she chooses, and does
not regard the wishes of her master,
such a woman shall be turned away.
II n man goes on n journey, his wife
shall not divert herself by play, nor see
any public show, nor laugh, nor dress
herself with jewels or fine clothes, nor
see dancing, nor neal music, nor sit at
the window, nor ride, nor behold any
thing rare or choice, but shall fasten well
the house door and remain private; and
shall not eat any dainty victuals, and
shall not view herself in a mirror; she
shall not exercise herself in any agreea-

Further out along the bay you come to
the now famous "Clif House" and "Seal
Rock" at the waters brink of the old
Pacific at the mouth of the harbor. The
Cliff house is a large frame structure
built out over the brink on the edge of
the high rocky cliff overlooking the great
western ocean. Just off shore forty or
fifty rods or more several great Jagged
conical boulders rise abruptly out of the
water to the height of from ten to thirty
feet. the largest of which is known as
Seal Rock" from the fact that on its
sides and top may be seen at any time a
score or more of these animals in their
native state.
A seal is a curious looking animal and
as a clumsy and awkward mover it is a
complete success. Its locomotion is by
no means elegant or graceful, and in
order to gain Roadway it rears its head
two or three feet in the air and at the
same time throws itself back on its
launches and by suddenly dropping itself
forward, apparently on the under side of
its neck, it manages in some way to pull
itself along with n awkward hitch, at the
same time keeping its long neck wagging
up and down. but never for one moment
forgetting to keep up that everlasting
and unmclodious "quack, quack, quack.'
This show is one of San Francisco's best
cards, as these animals in their wild state
are a genuine curiosity and they draw
great crowds daily to the spot. Sportsmer
are forbidden to shoot them under the
severcst penalties. This interesting place
is reached by means of a dummy rail
way the trains of which make a round
trip every hour.-San Francisco Cor.

THE CAPTURE OF FORT FISHER.
At the Foot of the Great
Fighting at Close Quarters.


About the time that it was evident
that the naval attack was not to succeed
there emerged from the scrubby wood
north of the fort the troops destined to
assault the place. These were veterans
from the Army of the James. Suddenly,
at a right shoulder shift and a double
quick the line swept across the sandy
plain which extended from the place of
starting to the base of the huge mann
elons which. running from sea to river,
formed the northern side of the fort.
The onward sweep never ceased, al
though it swayed at times when the gaps
were cut in it. Such n charge soon car
ried them to the palisado at the foot of
the great earthworks. and the ~pioneers'
axes began to CLEAN in the western sun,
as they chopped away at the palings, al
ready shattered in some places by the
commandment. The fire of small arms
now became incessant. as the assailants
began to respond.
After what seemed a long delay we
saw the line pass through the obstruc-
ton and in another they and
their colors were seen on one of the west
ern mamelons. sharply defined against
the sky. Then there was n sharp mus
kerry fight and men. killed and wounded,
rolled down the steep incline; wells of de-
fance and sbouts Of command grew
louder and louder. and then there come
a rush. n pell-mell struggle. and we
saw the colors slowly rise and
then established on the top of the
next mound. Then more fighting,
another rush and the next mound was
taken, after the most determined resist
ance. Seeing this, Gen. Terry signaled
the Ironclads to fire into the easterly
traverses and clear them out, which was
done with wonderful precision, until the
advancing fight rendered the Smelling as
dangerous to our own troops as to the
enemy.
