Henry Keep.


The history of this railroad king, who
has within the past month assumed Z con-
trolling position in Western railroad mat
ters, and stands at the head of this grea,
corporation. displacing that equally emf.
nent executive, Wm. b. Ogden, is most
interesting history Of great results from
small BEGINNINGS. Quiet, almost taciturn,
asking little counsel from others, and
working out his multiform plans silently
and cffectually, he is remarkable instance
of self made man.


His first associations are connected with
the Poor House Of Jefferson county, New
York, where he was sent pauper infant.
his father, poor man, having died and
left the boy and his m .ther penniless. lie
remained in the Poor House until some
ten years Of age when he was thought to
be old enough to take care of himself, and
the assessors bound him out to farmer,
who agreed to clothe and use him well,
and send him to school. He did not do
as he agreed, however, but kept the boy
hard at work on the farm and gave him
no opportunity to acquire an education.
Young Keep felt the injustice Of this and
one day made a little bundle of what
clothes he had and ran away to the Erie
canal. After reaching point where he
thought he would not be known md
stopped, he determined to take passage
and come West. He had little change
in his pocket, and finding that the packets
charged two cents mile and the line
boats one. he got upon tho latter, and
soon succeeded in saving his cent mile
by riding one of the horses. After getting
about hundred and fifty miles away
from his former homo he left the canal
aud struck to the little villagelof Honeoye
Falls some twenty miles from Rochester,
and hired out to a miller, doing general
work and frequently driving team to
Rochester. After time he went into the
employ of General Gould, of Rochester,
as man of all work, frequently at the end
Of his days labor saving cord Of wood
at fifty cents to earn little extra money.
His savings he invested in Monroe county
bonds which were then at discount,
there being no money in the treasury,
which soon brought him q handsome
profit. Then he commenced buying Cana
da money which was also below par, and
occasionally crossing tie border to ex-
change it, always making profit. He
soon became we'll known through that and
adjoining counties and those who had
Canada money would keep it until he
came around. He thus gradually accumu-
lated fortune and removing to Water
town, where he married daughter Of Mr..
Woodruff, prominent and wealthy citi-
zen, he established bank, to which he
afterwards added quite chain of country
banking -houses.-R. X. Gazette.

LADIES FAsHIoNs.-The extreme heat
and beauty Of this summer have rendered
the demand for light and thin materials
very great, and never has there been a
greater variety of elegant, guaze-like
dresses. White is extremely fashionable,
whether in muslin, alpaca, foulard, or
sultane white muslin over colored silk
petticoat being especially in favor, often
made with Hounce, headed by a chicoree
ruche made of taffetas and muslin. or by
bouilIion of muslin with the color under
it, sash Of the same shade being tied at
the back. Frequently with these white
toilettes, as with colored, lace fchus are
worn. Nothing can be more general than
the crossed 6chus they are almost univer-
sal, and made in all kinds of material.
The most usual style is, perhaps, that
crossed in the front, but some have the
ends taken back under the arms. having
somewhat the appearance Of small vests
in the front, the ends being tied behind
like sash. Short costumes are now worn
even for visits and family dinners, the
trained robe being reserved for full toilette
and calls Of ceremony the half train and
round robe is cut on the bias in the front,
touching the ground, and training a very
little behind. Amongst the fashions #
the day we must not omit to mention the
small aprons made of muslin, or white
gauze, with braces trimmed with ribbon.
The most important thing to remember in
choosing bonnet is that il must either
match the dress with which it is to be
worn in color, and sometimes even in style,
or else be II simple lanchOn and voille
mantille of black lace, which goes well
with any color and almost any style of
dress. The chapeau de vile, or morning
bonnet, is composed principally of very
narrow front, trimmed with q wreath Of
flowers or "Marie Antoinette" pouffs. The
strings contin.e to be tied under the CHG
non, and a scarf Of tn lc or lace fastened
lightly over the chest by a bow or flower.
Lately, many ladies have been seen with
merely wreath Of flowers and brides OF
lace supplying the place of the bonnet.
This is certainly very economical, but will
not become very universal, as ladies of
good taste always avoid eccentricities of
STYLE the bonnets are quite as small, if
not smaller than ever, and do not seem
likely to increase in size-at present, at
least. One of the most fashionable bon
nets lust now is made with wreath Of
corn and field flowers, and long scarf Of
straw colored tulle fastened by bouquet
of flowers. Hats are occupying much at.
tcntion Just now. Very fine black straw
or crinoline seem much in favor. They
are made exceedingly small. the rims
turned up, and trimmed with long veil
and small wreaths of bouquets of flowers.
The long veil, in black or colored tulle, is
quite as fashionably worn as it was last
year. Black tule hats are exceedingly
becoming and very light they are gener.
ally trimmed with black satin and field
flowers. Hats of leghorn, rice, or fancy
straw may be trimmed with feathers and
velvet.

Every honest patriot who has read
carefully the articles of impeachment pre-
ferred against the President by Congress,
and his reply thereto, has blushed with
shame and humiliation at the degraded
situation we are placed in by the fanati-
cal revolutionary course of our present
Congress. This action of Congress means
more than the removal of the President.
1t is not done to vindicate the majesty of
the law which they say the President has
violated, for they themselves propose to
disregard the law of Congress
for the reconstruction of the rebel
States, by admitting Alabama in
violation of that law. They
have no respect for either Constitution
or statutory law, only so far as they can
make them conserve the interests of their
party. They mean to get rid of, legally
or otherwise, all opposition to their mad
schemes. For that purpose they have
usurped and smothered the powers of the
executive department of the Govern
ment, and now propose to depose the
President because he is an impeachment to
their revolutionary plans. They have
usurped and hampered the powers and
duties of the Supreme Court, to prevent
that branch of the Government from ex-
posing their villainous perjury in vioIat-
ing theC Constitution they swore to support.


They unlawfully prevent representation
to ten States of the Union for the sole pur-
pose Of retaining political power. They
fear, and so declare, that those States,
if allowed, would vote with the opposi-
tion to their party. They expel Dem
ocrats from their seats and admit


Radicals to their places in violation of
the facts and law, that they may retain
a two-thirds majority in Congress, so as
to override the Presidents veto. See
ing that it will be impossible to continue
this long, they will remove the Presi-
dent and put in one of their own kind,
so that majority can carry out their
conspiracy against the Government.


If the President is removed and the
army and navy placed in the hands of
these conspirators, Democrats will vote
at their peril. If these proceedings in
impeachment mean anything, they mean
that no opposition to their revolutionary
measures will be tolerated. =


We therefore appeal to Democrats and
patriot Republicans to combine and band
together to protect and preserve what
ever is left of the institutions of our coun-
try as handed down to us by the fathers
of the Revolution. This advice cannot
be acted upon to soon. One month from
this may be too late. Unless something
of this kind is done, and quickly, a
bloody war, in comparison with which
the late rebellion would pale into feeble
ness, awaits us, or our liberties are for
ever lost. They who would be free,
must strike the blow Eternal vigi-
lence is the price of Liberty."-Piqua

A cunning trick was performed at
Newark, N. j.. one day last week. A
stranger, who pretended to be tipsy,
slipped on the step in front ola machin-
cry wareroom near Market street depot,
and broke large plate glass window,
the proprietors demanded payment !;
but the man pretended that he had no
money. One of the partners then pro-
posed that the culprit be searched
This was done, and the owner of the
window was rewarded by finding a
one hundred dollar bill in his pocket
He immediately changed the bill, and,
after taking out twelve dollars for dam
ages, handed the inebriate eighty dol
lars. To this the stranger made no OBJ
lection, but staggered off and was soon
lost to sight. In short time the ma
chinist had occasion to make deposit,
and the one hundred dollar bill was sent
to bank. 1t was returned as a counter
felt. The stranger has not been seen
since, and if arrested he could not be
prosecuted, as he did not attempt to pass
the bill. This is a new "dodge.''

THE PICTURE THE STOLEN WILL.


GoDsalvo, as he lay upon the floor of
Camillia's chamber, the blood having sub
sided by one dark gush from his mouth,
slowly sank into that exhaustion which
usually prostrates the passions after long
and feverish excitement. Quiet and in
sensible, the iron -souled demon was now
smitten by his own avenging desire, yet
the while, Camilla, like an angel of mer-
cy, wept over him, and impaired her
burning tears to mingle in the sanguinary
tide, = bursting as volcano from its
primary receptacle. One hour did she
remain upon her knees bent in anguish
over him; and more than one prayer she
calculated to heaven for his deliverance.
1t was then that she found out how to
love father, and the yearniDgs OF natu-
raj affection found utterance through her
lips = How sad are the reverses OF affec-
tion, how humanity painful in their ef-
fects - there cannot be found single
being among us but what loves somebody
and yet we are as loathe to confess it, as
to place our hand in the fire; at least, not
till we are visited by sickness or death,
and then, fearing to take our secret to
the grave, we unwillingly breathe the
name, and whisper, in dying accents, the
affection that has haunted US through
our lives - we must reveal it = we can
not take any thing mortal to our tombs.

Camilla for her father, it was now being
redoubled under the scene of despair that
she contemplated, in the hopeless condi
