Whittier's poems are before nte and thirty-seven of thoni are wailing for the slaves and malignant stings against the Southern statesmen, including Calhoun, and the Southern people. He was an intense secessionists and when Texas was admitted he prayed In verse for a yawning gulf ! ? open and separate the. North front the South. When Daniel Webster made his last and greatest speech at Cap m saving-:, in wlihh ho defended the South and declared that we had the right to withdraw fre.n the union when we believed the fed'' eral coniput I had been broken. Whittier Hew to his inkstand and wiote this of hint: "So fallen! So lost! The light withdrawn Which onto lie wore: The glory from his gray heirs geno For evermore. Let not the hi mi once prom! of him Nor brand with deeper shame his dim Insult him now, Dishonored brow. All else is gone; from luo-.e grea; eyes The soul is fled. When faith is lost and he nor dies The man is dead. They pay the reverence ol old-days To his dead fame; Walk backward, with averted cnv.o And hide his shame.' That is part of the tribute lie paid to the immortal Webster, the grand est figure in New Fngland history. Mm I wa< not troubling inyst if about the gifted fanatic, l was ruminating about Chnuncey Depcw. who is not dead and who every little whi.'e. bobs up serenely to g<d a. little mote fame as a humorist, it seems that when r.enernl Marly passed through i I ril'-l H ft I ll>. ill .Mil! \ lilllll. n<' ptlUSml long enough In < x.n t l^ni the good people the sum of $200,000 for army purposes, for as Whittier wrote ot them, they were "a furnished horde." and now that city has applied to . ongress for a refunding of that mon y and one reason they give is that an old woman in her ninety-sixth year waved the union flag at the rebels and Stonewall Jackson ordered his men to tire at her and they fired and hroko the window glass and riddled the (lag and knocked it out of her hand and she picked it tip and waved it again. That's the poetic yarn that Whittier told about Barbara Freitchio and a committee from Frederick iMty has been before congress and said it was so. Chauncey Depow heard it till and said it was worth $200,000 to have the truth of the story established and ho nodded his head approvingly and said that, "old Barbara was one of the idols of his childhood, and when he piaved around his mother's km-cs ...< heart throbbed with sympathy for the gray-liaired old woman whose patriotism defied the enemies of his country." The old Rip Van Winkle! I reckon that is one of his latest jokes, for he was born in 1S34, and was twenty-eight years old when our army was in Frederick City, and he was then playing around his mother's knees in the New York legislature. Dr. J. William Jones, of Richmond, the highest authority on confederate hlstorv. has published In the Alarch \ SPRING SUITS. I 3 FROM 75 CENTS UP. PROPRIETOR ME OLD RELIABLE STORE." number ol the Confederate Veteran another exposure of this wanton malignant myth about Barbara Freitehie, and does so only because the poem has got ton into some Southern school boks and he wishes to brand with falsehood this vile slander on Stonewall Jackson. The whole miserable thing was investigated not at Washington. but on the spot at Frederick City, and it was established years ago that no Confederate troops passed in sight of the old woman's house: that no flag was waved: that Stonewall .lackson was not then with his trnnnn ! ami that old Harharu was bed-ridden and paralysed and could not have j waved a linn if she had had one. The dame's nephew. Valerius Ebert. has j published his certificate that the (lag 1 story is all a myth without the slight est foundation, and that his old aunt i was at that time bed-ridden and had , lost the power of locomotion. Ebert was there at the time, and was the i administrator on her estate when she j died and never heard of any Hug. and yet one of the rascals who is after j that money testified that he had the , Hag at home at his house. The very I i last curse in the Hible <s against him ' who maketh or loveth a lie, and it I makes no difference whether he is a I I poet, priest or senator, he will find j : himself in awful bad company in the j | world to come. Years ago this myth . ; was exploded in the New York Sun j while Dana was living, but now that I he is dead it has come to light again ; in its columns. That paper's motto ! ' used to he "If you see it in the Sun j | it's so," but now if you see It. in the ; Sun it's not so. would fit it better. I wish that every confederate soldier ; and their children and grandchildren would subscribe for the Veteran and ' keep up with the best memories of the ' Lost Cause- a chiik<> fnr wht/?t> ?*/ > > still proud, for pets brighter and ! purer as the years roll on. Some ' months ago l>r. Andrews, the great i educator, declared and published that , I every principle the South fought for had since been before the suprome , court of the nation and decided In its I favor?and recently a notable New I England minister has declared that , negro suffrage was a miserable blun- : d?T, and that the fifteenth and six- ! tcenth amendments to the constitution | should be repealed. Well, time is a good doc tor, and the j South is on the upground. The Re~ j pumican party may be re-elected, but ' the South cannot he worsted. The day ' will come when pensions and back pay i will be given our old soldiers and our 1 Confederate widows, and our Northern soldiers will take off their hats ami apologize. We are trying hard at my inn: ? to oe reconciled to forget niul forgive and be calm and serene when holding social intercourse with those who lit on the other side, and we g?-r along pretty well as long as they meet as on halfway ground, but as for these vile slanderers who keep on lying and rubbing it in. we Rre very much like iny lamented friend.

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE STARVING The Native States Dotted With Heaps of Dead and Dying -A Pitiful Description Sent by a Bombay Corres- j pondent of the Scene at Ahmeda- I bad. lxmdon. By Cable.?The report that | cholera is strengthening its deadly j liold on famine-stricken India, brings J the pitiful condition of that country , more than over to the public view. About f>3,500.000 persons, for this is the population of the district affected, are sweltering their squalid existences j away amid pestilence and misery that i show no signs of a I fating. Hundreds of thousands of pounds in good Brit- j isli gold, good Herman marks and American coin, have been thrown into ' the country, but. judging front the | latest ad \ ices. all this charity is mere ly a drop in the ocean. The famiii" and its attendant complications up- : pear to exceed in virulence any previous visitations. The Viceroy. Lor I Curzon, of Kedleston. and the govern. ment are making .ceaseless exertions to meet the terrible emergeney. but ! tin- stupendous diffleulty confronting them prevent the present supplying of relief to more than a.000,000. In , the meant Imp the native states are ] dotted with heaps of dead and dying and the roads are crowded with ghast- ' ly hands seeking to escape from the , stricken territories, hut \\ !n?. for lack . of food and water, mostly sueeitmh n the attempt. One of the most hope- | less features of the whole affair is contained in the statement of a special correspondent at Simla, who writes "Ton times the total relief could he laid out in a single district without fully relieving its distress. All we can hope for is a succession of good years to put the people on their legs again." The British districts are reported to | ite so far escaping the large starvation t and mortality that mark the native States. But that their condition is not enviable is evident front the following i description sent by a Bombay correspondent of the scene at Ahmedahad. a city in the presidency of Rom buy: In an open space upwards of L'tto were s:i>:iteit nlil :iii/I votimr Iw.in . famine personift0(1. The smell arising from their filthy rags was sickening, and had attracted myriads of llies. Some, especially the !<! men. were bony frame-works. \ girl suckling two children was ghastly to look at. but the little ones, with hollow tent pies, sunken eyes and cheeks, and the napes of their necks falling in under their skulls, which seemed to overbalance their emaciated bodies, and with wisp-like arms and legs, were j more dreadful still. Man\ were suffering from disease and numbers had the fever. Those who could work j were sent on where tanks were being dug. They were given meat and passed on to the poor-house. This ' picture is front a less seriously affected part of the country. The sufferings in the remoter districts, wheie the famine is severe, where all the cattle have long since died, where the water is precious and where cholera has now added its dread scourge, can well he imagined.
