e whites. The Rev. Henry Richards, for many years a missionary on the Congo, writes: I believe the Anglo-Saxon to be naturally far more cruel and brutal than the African. There should be hope then for the latter race. It is to be hoped that there is some truth in the theory of reincarnation, for it affords such grand opportunities for poetic justice. If there is anything in it, the author of The Negro a beast should make his next appearance as a full-blooded Congo black; the author of Leopard's Spots would figure among the mulattos from whom he wishes to save us; and the author of Up from slavery --well — if any man has earned the right to the whitest of skins (if he would like to have one) it is Booker Washington. And if these three gentlemen came on the stage again together, I am confident that we should find the last of the three exerting his powers for the benefit of the other two in a spirit of love to which they are total strangers. And I cannot refrain from adding an

ithout my sympathy and assent, even as Virginia arrayed itself against the Union without the sympathy and assent of Lee in 1861? The question gave me pause. And then I must confess to a sense of the humor of the situation coming over me, as I found it answered to my hand. The case had already arisen; the answer had been given; nor had it been given in any uncertain tone. The dark and disloyal days of the earlier years of the century just ended rose in memory—the days of the embargo, the Leopard and the Chesapeake, and of the Hartford Convention. The course then taken by those in political control in Massachusetts is recorded in history. It verged dangerously close on that pursued by Virginia and the South fifty years later: and the quarrel then was foreign; it was no domestic broil. One of my name, from whom I claim descent, was in those years prominent in public life. He accordingly was called upon to make the choice of Hercules, as later was Lee. He made his choice, and it w

The Washington Light Infantry, 1807-1861. The ante-bellum history of old Charleston's loyal sons was so continuously prominent in the annals of Charleston, for more than half a century, that it is only in order to refer very briefly to it here. Founded by William Lownes in 1807, upon receiving the news of the Leopard and Chesapeake affair, its roll of thirteen commanders down to 1861, reveals the character of its membership-Lowndes, Cross, Crafts, Simons, Miller, Gilchrist, Ravenel, Lee, Jervey, Porter, Walker, Hatch, Simonton. The public observance of Washington's birthday, by an oration and social functions, on 22d February, was an annual feature of W. L. I. life, and the annual response from the community indicated the highest public favor. This observance was continued up to and in the war period, the last celebration taking place in Fort Sumter while the command was part of the garrison of the gateway of Charleston, on the 22d of February, 1862. Referring to earli

The Washington Light Infantry Charitable Association, 1866. The affair of the Leopard and Chesapeake involved no desecrated homes, no abandoned altars, no social insults, no unspeakable injuries—what wrongs perpetrated by England, can compare in results, with the storm of fiery desolation, that swept over our country, and left us, in 1865, from the seaboard to the mountains, in fettered destitution, without a home, without a country, and almost without a hope. The question of duty in 1860 repeated the demand of 1807; that of 1865 combined them both! What do my people need? Arms and a life! Let them be given! This was the question of 1807 and 1860—what do my people need? Bread and hope! This was the great question of 1865. Bread and hope were given, and something more was added. The bivouac of the dead was marked with a shaft of honor, that the stranger might know that the men who slept there died for their country! What heart and hand could do for the widow and orphan,

d expression in a Factory Girl, Sailor Boy, and Leader. The counties of Suffolk, Essex and Middlesex, all the towns along the line as well as the terminal cities were each represented. The Bible furnished the names of Goliath and Samson and heathen mythology was laid under tribute, furnishing Hector, Ajax, Vulcan, Mercury, Mars, Vesta, Hercules. Count Rumford had a namesake, also the Peruvian hero Rolla. The bird of freedom was n't forgotten for there was an Eagle as also a Lion, Tiger and Leopard. A whole menagerie. Of course it will be understood that these enumerated were added as the years passed and business increased. Some were of a type now disused, called inside connection; i. e., the cylinders were close together under the front end of the boiler, and these required a cranked axle for the forward pair of driving wheels. Nearly all were resplendent with a wealth of brass work which made the fireman's position one of strenuous work to keep up the shine. Till the use o

ebels on the Clyde it is this. But it is quite obvious, from the rate at which work on her progresses, and from the period fixed by the contract, that she is not relied on for immediate service.--And concerning both this and the Liverpool rams, our Government is and has constantly been fully informed. Whatever doubts there may be about this ironclad, there is none at all that other steamers for different service are bought and built for the rebels at Glasgow. The Columbia, Adela, and Leopard all sailed last summer from this pert, the Columbia to Hamburg for a cargo, the Adela to Liverpool, the Leopard to Cardiff. The two former were captured endeavoring to run the blockade; the Leopard got through. The rebels are preparing, apparently, not to break the blockade this winter by force, but to evade it by vessels of unusual speed. With this view they have bought and are fitting out steamers at Glasgow, which port seems to share with Liverpool the honor of being a rendezvous f
