ressed. My heart bounded when we came out of the trees on a vast level plain, with the withered grass appearing through the snow, and a snow-storm driving across it --reminding me of Sarah Clarke's brown etchings. They tell me since that it was not a prairie, but it was as good as one to me. At last we got to Windsor, where the ferry-boat was slowly toiling through the ice, and I preferred, with many others, to walk across, carpetbag in hand, and thus I reached Detroit at 3 P. M.

She lives in a sort of moated grange a mile out of town, an old house with an air of decay, once lovely among its fields and shrubbery, now more lonely with the city grown up to it. There she has lived for sixteen years with an old gray father and a sister more finely organized and invalid than herself, and the healthy

offered a place as saleswoman in a store, which she accepted; but finding that it was her duty to misrepresent goods to customers, she left at once, because she would not violate her conscience with the tricks of trade. The distinctions she saw everywhere between boys and girls, men and women, giving all the opportunities and advantages of life to one sex, early filled her with indignation, and she determined to resist this tyranny wherever she found it. Sitting at home one Sunday in January, 1860, she read a notice that the Association of Progressive friends would hold a meeting that afternoon, to discuss woman's rights and wrongs. She resolved to go, and, in company with another young girl, was there at the appointed hour. Ten minutes were allowed the speakers to present their opposing views. It was my good fortune, says Dr. Longshore, to be there, and to announce at the opening of the meeting, that ladies were particularly invited to speak, as the subject was one in which th

Bell was reared to the age of eighteen in Beaufort county.

After graduating at Wofford college he taught school, and taking up the study of law was admitted to the bar in 1859 and commenced practice in January, 1860, at Orangeburg. On January 3, 1861, he enlisted in the Edisto Rifles, of Johnson Hagood's First South Carolina infantry, and was appointed first sergeant, serving as such until the fall of 1861, when he was elected lieutenant and served in t

political sympathy, her people yet too plainly saw the effect of her geographical position in case of war and had too broad a sense of the value of the Union to look with indifference upon the evidences of the gathering storm. There was comparatively little secession sentiment in the State. With all her sympathy for the South, Kentucky hoped to the last that the threatened dissolution of the Union could be averted. Her relations with her neighbor States to the north were cordial. In January, 1860, by invitation of the Ohio legislature, the legislature of Kentucky had visited Columbus as a body and the members of the two bodies had fraternized in the enjoyment of the most unrestrained sociability. In fact, the Ohio river, which was nominally a boundary between separate commonwealths, seemed rather to unite them only the more closely, and no human foresight could have predicted that within a little more than twelve months there would be such altered conditions.

place in all the navy. He added: He is not only a thorough seaman and game to the backbone, but a man of superior intellect, a humorist of rare excellence, and one of the most delightful companions. There is no position in his profession which Maffitt is not capable of filling with honor and distinction. This was his acknowledged position when the war began. His last command while in the service of the United States, was the Crusader. He was very successful in capturing slavers. In January, 1860, while in command of the Crusader, and also acting as paymaster of the vessel, he was ordered by the Secretary of the Navy to proceed to Mobile, and there cash a check on the collector of the port for prize money due the officers and crew. The city being agitated at the time by the Ordinance of Secession, just passed by the State of Alabama, he was forced to put his vessel in a defensive position, and soon retired to the port of Habana.

Parsons followed, being ordained June 6, 1860. He also resigned in May, 1864, and was succeeded May 18, 1865, by the Rev. S. B. Flagg who remained till January 1, 1869. Rev. C.

Receipts from customs at New York. --The receipts from customs at New York, for January, 1861, are less by just about one-half than for the same month last year. The falling off of Southern trade at Northern ports may be said to have commenced substantially at the date of the Presidential election. In November, 1859, the receipts from customs at New York were $2,184,000--in November, 1860, $1,806,000. In December, 1859, $2,854,000--in December, 1860, $1,192,000. In January, 1860, $3,914,000--in January, 1861, $2,068,000. The aggregate of difference in receipts of customs at New York for three months back, as compared with receipts for a corresponding period a year ago, is $3,686,000. Add to this the difference in such receipts in like periods at Boston and Philadelphia, (the former $265,000, the latter $231,000,) and we have an aggregate of $4,382,000, which would represent over twenty millions of dollars in value of foreign dutiable articles.
