A young man whose veracity is unim-
peachable tells the following touching
story to the Monticello Ella Constitu-
ton: On aplantation few miles from the
city there lived in great felicity a pair Of
ducks. But the old drake being of a rath-
er pugnacious disposition, was sentenced
to be shot. Several hours after the SEN
tence was executed his mate was observed
to droop, and shortly thereafter she died,
unquestionably Of broken heart. The
truth Of this story Is vouched for.

leaders may make political capital out of
it. The spirit of Calhounism wrought
too much mischief in the formation Of the
recent tariff law to leave any doubt as to
Its baneful existence. The attempt of
southern politicians by the grossest favor
itism to southern industries, by the in
come tax law and by all means possible
to make sectional gain at the expense OF
national welfare left no doubt Of their
purposes. The treatment Of the Union
pensioners, also, partook of the rebel and
copperhead spirit combined, and went no
further because 1t dared not do SO.
