Thrilling Object Lesson ON Slavery in Fly.
mouth Pulpit.
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher writes O,
when Mr.. Beecher Sold Slaves in
plymouth Pulpit end thus describes
the sensation created By the sale OF
Sarah, which occurred on June /. 1856:
THE solemn, impressive silence Of that
vast Plymouth assemblage was ALSO
lutely painful as a young woman slow
ly assembled the stsirs leading to the
pulpit and sank into a chair by Mr.
Beeobez'a side. Instantly assuming
the look ard manner Of slave auction
eer, he called for bids. Look he ex-
claimed, at this marketable com1nod-
ity-human flesh and blood, like your
selves. You see the white blood OF
her father in her regular features and
high, thoughtful forehead. Who bids?
You will have to pay extra for that
white blood, because 1t is supposed to
give intelligence Stand up, Sarah!
Now look at her trim figure and her
wavy hair!-how much do you bid for
them? She is sound in wind and limb
I'll warrant her! Who bids? Her
feet and hands-hold them out, Sarah!
arc small and finely formed. What
do you bid for her? She is a Christian
woman-I mean, praying nigger-and
that makes her more valuable, because
it insures her docility and obedience to
your wishes. Servants, obey their mas
ters,' you know. Well. she believes III
that doctrine. How much for her:
Will you allow this praying woman to
be sent back to Richmond to meet the
fate for which her father sold her? II
not, who bids? Who bids?"
The congregation was wrought &c
the highest pitch OF excitement, WON.
en- grew hysterical and men were great
ly wrought UP. Some one near the pull.
pit laid a bank note at Mr.. Beecher's
feet. Then the contribution baskets
were passed. and for half an hour
money and jewelry were hesped into
them. Women took of their bracelets
and rings and put them into the basr
kets, and men unfastered their watches
and handed them to the ,Ishers. Mr.
DCOAhCA . vOiSC, III taiO tOASC Va 6h ehaN

''Then you are free, Sarah" cried Mr..
Beecher, turning to the girl beside him
and the audience broke into the wild

no deficiency. Instead, enough money
to buy Sarah's freedom, s., 200, besides
sufficient to purchase her comfortable

Washington as y Politician.

General Greely's article in March
Ladies' Home Journal upon The

that Washington was largely influenced
by his environments but also that he
steadily tended toward the higher
standard of the present age, especially
as regards his habits and ideals OF the
first election in which he actively par
tiCipated General Greedy writes: in
his earliest days Washington extended
at his first election the usual post cleo
ton hospitality, which, in those DAYS,
consisted in the minimum of food with
the maximum amount Of spirits. We
find him paving an account for such an
entertainment for some four hundred
voters, where the account was three
shillings for food and thirty seven for
liquors. The capacity of the average
drlnker may, perhaps, be placed at
three quarts at a sitting, as derived from
this account, which covers one hogs
head of punch, one barrel of punch,
forty gallons of punch, nine bowls Of
punch, Iorly-nve gallons OF WINE ana
forty-seven gallons of beer Washing

surprise at their moderation, and wrote

been liberal enough, and expressed the
hope that he had not neglected those
who had voted in the opposition"

The ApPortionment.

Milwaukee Sentinel of the 18th.
When the legislature meets next
week to make new appOrtiOnment, it
should not forget that the primary OBJ
jeCt of its converting is to ungcrryman-
der the state. 1t is called in extra SEES
sion for the purpose of providing a fair
and equitable division of districts in
place of the cunning plan devised by
the Democratic party. In order to &C.
complish this it will not be possible to
take into account any personal COnsid-
cratiOns. There has been and there
will be strong pressure brought to bear
in order to arrange districts to suit the
wishes of particular candidates. The
individuals who are urging their per-
sonal interests are thereby seeking to
do great injury to the party. The leg
islature will fail in its duty, unless it
disregards all special pleas of this sort
that are brought before it. The aDpor-
tionment that the Republican party
should give the people of the state must
bear the closest scrutiny from friend and
foe. If 1t is based solely on the pOpu-
lation and is not affected by the num-
Der of Democratic or Republican votes
east at previous elections it would be
beyond condemnation. 1t will be well
for the Republican members of the leg
islature to determine now upon relin-
gushing any and all personal schemes
that they may wish to incorporate in
the apportionment. Such action would
not only give the state a fair and con
apporuonmcnt, but it would
at the same time greatly simplify the
work of the legislature.
