TOBE'SMOSUMEXT The “seven days’ fight” was ended. Hundreds of our brave boys lay with white still faces upturned to the sky on the slopes of Malvern Hill, or moaned away their lives in.the marshes along the Chickahominy. The worn, battered rem nants of the “grand army of the Potomac” were encamped at Harrison's Landing, on the James, waiting for transports to take them back to Washington. Here, on this desolate sand-plain, without a single tree for shelter front the July sun that blazed down in torrid fierceness; with no green thing, not even a blade of grass, in sight; behind them the enemy, before them the river; it seemed as ii'all the horrors of the Peninsular campaign were eclipsed by this. It was “after taps,”—a sultry, southern summer night. Xo sound broke the still ness save the measured tread of the senti nels, the lapping of the river against the bank, or the shrill cry of some night bird from the marshes. On the extreme edge ol the encampment, on the side nearest the enemy, a sentinel paused in his walk and peered curiously out into the darkness, where, just beyond the limits of his neat, rose a huge rock overgrown with grav moss. "Certain sure,” he said to himself, “something moved out yonder. If the Johnnies are at their tricks again, it’s time I gave the alarm. Hut that rock couldn't hide many of’em, either. I guess I'll wait a bit, and maybe—there it is again now!” A dark object moved out from behind the rock, then suddenly disappeared, as if the earth had opened and swallowed it up. “Well, now, that’s curious,”soliloquized the soldier. “1 don’t believe in sperits that'll vanish into air while your looking at 'em but their hain’tbeen no airthquake to open the ground and swaller up that, whatever it is; and what’s become on’t That’s what I'd like to know.” ills desire lor knowledge seemed likely’ to be gratified, for the object appeared again, slowly moving towards him. He raised his musket to his shoulder, taking careful aim, then lowered it again. “Pshaw!” he said, “It’s nothing but a dog.” lie was resuming his walk, when the supposed quadruped rose suddenly, and walked along one or two feet, in a manner so unmistakably human, that the sentinel levelled his musket once more, and shouted “Halt!” The apparition dropped again, and rolled itself into a ball. “Advance and give the countersign!" There was neither sound nor movement, and the order was repeated. The ball un rolled itselt and crept a little nearer; and a faint, childish voice, said, “Ain’t got none, Massa.” “Well, there now,” said the sentinel. “If it ain't just a little darkey, and 1 guess I've frightened him half to death. Come here, Snowball!” The child crept up, and said, trembling ly, “’Deed, Massa, 1 ain't got nuffin to gib ver.” “Well, who asked you to give mo any thing?” “Yer don ax me fer to gib yer suffin jes’ now and 1 ain’t got nuffin ’cep’ my elo’es wat I got on.” “Well, you needn't fret; I don’t want 'em. They wouldn’t lit, even if there was anything to ’em but holes, but just tell me where you went to after you came out from behind that rock “Went down in de hole, Massa.” "What hole?” “Dar’s a big hole down un’erneafde rock, 'an l'se hidin’ in darall de day, wait in' fer de dark, so’s ter come in ter do Unions.” “Oh! that’s the game is it? Now I'll have to hand you over to the corporal. Corporal of the guard Post two.” The call rang out through the still night, and hundreds of sleepers started to their feet and seized their arms; for all day the rebels had been shelling them from the other side of the river, and the probabili ties of a night attack- had been freely dis cussed. The corporal hastened to “post two,” and found the sentinel with his hand on the shoulder of a little black boy, who between fear, fatigue, and hunger was un able to give any account of himself. “I’ll take him to Capt. Leigh,” the corporal said; “he’s officer of the day. Maybe he’ll be able to get something out of him.” The Captain stood in tront of his tent, looking out into the night, when the cor poral and his charge approached. "Captain,” said he “here's a lioy just come into the lines. Either he never had any wits or they’ve been scared out of him, for he can’t seem to tell auything about himself.” “Very well, you can leave lnm here. I'll talk to him in the morning.” At the first sound of the Captain’s voice the boy drew nearer to him, as knowing instinct ively that lie had tound a friend. “Yon can go into the tent,” said the Captain; and i'll to sleep till morning.” Captain Leigh's untasted supper stood where it had been placed hours before. His thoughts were iu his Northern home that night, and he had no heart to eat. The boy looked wistfully at the food, and the Captain said, “Eat that if you like.” "L)o hull on't Mass Cap’n "Yes, if you want it.” He ate like some starved wild animal then dropped on the ground, curled him self up like a dog, with his arms across his face, and slept. The hundreds who had been wakened so suddenly, finding that there was no further alarm, also lay down to sleep again and the eauip once more lay quiet under the starlight. “What is your name?” was Captain Leigh’s first question next morning. “Name Tube.” “Is that all “Hat’s all. Mass Cap’ll." “How old are you “Dunno, Mass Cap’n. Nobody uebber told me dat ar. “Where have you come from?” “Come fum de back o' ltichnion,’ Mass Cup’n. "What did you come here for “All de res' ob ’em runned away; an* olo Mass he wor so mad, I wor jes'leaml o’ my life. Sides I fought 1 mought fin’ my mammy ef 1 got mong der Unions."

One year last Monday the flag of the Commune was unfurled in I’aris. The ex-: ccutiou of a remnant of its leaders with in a few days is the principal sign that it once existed. Its acts, however, have been the subject of much and varied com ment, and will form an important part of the history of the recent conflict in Prance. The Philadelphia Press gives in an elab orate article an account of the ice busi ness in which that city is concerned. The Knickerbocker Company lias three houses on the Kennebec containing .jl',000 tons. The Press says the ‘The Kennebec ice is of a quality to which all in the world is second.' lhe prices for the coming season are not yet fixed, but will probably be about the same as last year’s prices. It is needless to add that the ice harvest is abundant, and according to present appearances will con tinue till about mid-summer. It is reported that Judge Davis desires that the Cincinnati platform shall l>e silent on the subject of free trade or protection, so that it may be acceptable to the friends of either principle. What would lie have it do on the subject of an illimitable issue of greenbacks and taxation of government bonds, two of the prominent planks iu the platform of his party Something more than silence will be necessary on questions like these, upon which the labor reform candidate is committed. The weather is a topic of very frequent discussion uow-a-days. Winter lias shown no sign of relenting. His grasp lias been more pitiless and frosty during Mat ch than February. Old l’robabilitions is puzzled, The less noted Probabilities are consider ing whether the extraordinary cold is due to a chauge in the gulf stream, or to the freezing of all the vanes and weathercocks so as to point north and keep the wind blowing from that quarter, and the dan ger of big freshets when a thaw t omes, which it is devoutly imped may not he put off until next year. THE ALABAMA BUSINESS. It is announced by telegraph that the answer of Secretary Fish to the note of Lord Granville upon the Alabama claims question has been received by the British government. Mr. Gladstone informed the House of Commons that lie was “gratified to be able to state that it was couched in courteous and friendly terms." lie further stated tli.it the views of his govt tntiiout were not adopted by Secretary Fish, and that an answer seems to be required and invited which would be delivered to Min ister Sehenck this week. Being called upon to lay the correspond ence before Parliament, Air. Gladstone de clined to do so. Hu assured Parliament, however, that while his communication will show that the British government is anxious to carry out the treaty, it will deal with the case in such manner as the honor of the country demands. Hul Granville spoke to the same tenor in the House of la>rds. Precisely what Air. Gladstone means by his remarks we may not be able to tell iiis language Is sludicij and diplomatic. I We infer though that ho will bend to the j clamor in relation to consequential Jani j ages, and insist that they shall not go be fore the arbitrators. From his former speech we may also gather that this will be his conclusion. Should this view |>ro\ e correct, farther procedure with affairs con nected with the treaty will be delayed, em barrassed, and perhaps finally postponed indefinitely. All honorable efforts will j doubtlc-s be made on the part of our gov i i mncnt to have a full settlement effected and the treaty carried out. while upon the part of England it seems to us there is far more necessity to dose up the difficulties between the two governments concerning this Alabama business than we have. The disposition and interests of the lav or peace, but for all that there is a possibility of failure. l.v IMPARTIAL VIEW. 1 lie Daily Globe of Boston claims to be independent and'impartial in politics. Its comments upon the Presidential campaign are, theielorc, interesting on account of the standpoint, ie well as the location. In the main the opinions advanced in the fol lowing article agree with those expn-s(M] by republican papers. There is a remark able concurrence of sentiment in n garil to the result of all the scheming against Grant; iirst, that it will utterly fail to de feat his nomination second, that it will also fail to prevent his election by the peo ple. Intelligent democrats have no hope of success in the campaign. Only shal low and uddle-pated politicians like Tip ton, who explodes torpedoes under his own feel, see any chance to oppose the republicans with success. The Globe says: The hitherto united Republican party, w hich has inarched on as a unit Ijt so many years, in the midst of terrible dangers, and carried the nation through the perils which for a time threatened its very existence, is now certainly shivering in the wind in more than one sense. Differences have sprung up among its strongest leaders, threatening a disruption of the party. This state of affairs arises from no real difference as to political faith, but from personal feeling and offended pride. The Massachusetts Senator, w ho is the leader of the new movement, seems to care for naught save personal aggrandizement and personal satisfaction for the supposed slight and injury he lias received from the Ad ministration, and would sacrifice his w hole party to his individual purpose. But it does not by any means yet appear that be can car ry the party which lias given him his position, along with him in bis fanaticism. With scarcely an exception the political press, which has so freely supported him heretofore, is decided in expressing its disapproval at bis late v rratic course. At the present moment, when the Republi cans are preparing for the Philadelphia con vention, and choosing delegates to represent them there, they ate confounded at the sight of the Massachusetts Senator coquetting with the Cincinnati convention. This, according to a contemporary, “will cause profound re gret to thousands of his friends who cannot i follow him there.” This disruption in the 1 ranks of the dominant party commenced i .Missouri, with lew, but strong men, anu doubtless -Mr. Sumner thinks that lie sees therein an opportunity at once to gratify his vindictive feeling towards the adminstration, and—vain hope—a possibility of carrying his friends w ith him to the ranks of the opposi tion, and thus to secures what he lias so long hoped for, strove lor, and lived fur, the dream of liis existence—a Presidential nomination. Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad. When Mr. Sumner made that egregious blunder in presenting the inquiry as to the sale of French arms he disappointed his best friends, and when lie withdrew the preamble to his resolution of inquiry in the Senate, he expressed what the people felt everywhere, that the Republicans would not approve of attacks on the administration to pave the way tor investigation, but that in vestigation should be had first and judgment afterwards. The whole onslaughter was a failure, proving a victory for Mr. Sumner's opponents from the outset. Viewing the field from an impartial stand-point we do nut think that the anticipated disruption of the liepub i lican party will amount to anything seri .us j as to the result, and yet there may lie some new issue springing up which w ill alter materially the political aspect before election. i'o especial or aisunguislica lender has vet presented himself to marshal the ranks of the Democrats, indeed it does not seem that any formidable light will he made by that division of the body politic. Undoubtedly they will march forth under their own Hag, ar.d as seems clear to our view, they will march to j defeat, so far as a Presidential campaign is concerned whether united with Judge Davis’s forlorn hope or otnerwise, the result would doubtless be tile same. Mil Mil AT PHILADELPHIA. We find the following remarks by Mr. Nye, our representative at the Centennial gather ing at Philadelphia, reported in the papers of that city. A California representative preceded Mr. Nye, and the President introduced the latter as representing the Northeast. Mr. Nye said •I live, it is true, in the most northeasterly State ol our l nion, and perhaps most of you know that by next October we shall he con nected from Halifax to San Francisco by rail road. We are already open to St. John, and the other part ot the road is nearly finished, so I took great pleasure in taking my friend irom t'alilornia by the hand and we could in a lew months go from Halifax to San Fran cisco without change of ears. I have visited Philadelphia frequently, but J was never more rejoiced titan I have been to-day, in riding mile after mile around the grounds ol this great, and as lias been said, unequulcd Park. I believe every gentleman upon this commission must have decided in Ins own mind, after having the different local ities pointed out, just where their building must he erected in order to accommodate the the people of this country and the world, in tite great exhibition tiiat is to take place. (Applause. J 1 rejoice in pacing around your Park, to B e such large quantities of water us must he in your great reservoirs, and 1 thank God that when we come down front the Stale of Maine we will find a plentiful supply ot our favorite beverage, (laughter and applause) that beverage which was given to us by God himselt to nourish and invigorate His crea tures You not only have water enough to supply your own city, but the people of the Whole country and the world who may come here to witness the great exhibition. I promise everything that can be done bv citizens of Maine to make tiiis exhibition a success shall lie dope. We are awake. Our Governor said lie would appoint two dele gates—I.ne republican and one democrat, tor the purpose ot uniting the people of the entire state in the great enterprise. My Alternate was the democratic candidate for Governor last year and will be next. You will find when he comes to meet with you that his heart like mine, is in the great enterprise. The New Hampshire House of liepresen* tatives will contain H10 republicans, III dem ocrats, 5 labor reformers, L' independents and 1 temperance candidate, thus insuring tlio republicans a clear majority of 5(i over all others, which is much larger than any one hoped for. A heart-broken Democratic journal ot the Far West looks on Mr. Groesbeek as scan dalously fallen from democratic grace. “lie is,’ say£ the disconsolate echo of the Lost Cause, “all out and out a black republican in politics, ami neither in opinion, nor in con duet, nor in habits of life, has any sympathy or affiliation with the democracy.” The election in l'tali on the question of ac cepting the proposed constitution for a State government took plate on Monday. The Constitution was adopted unanimously, l»y the Mormon vote, the Gen'ilcs making no oppo sition. Fuller, the Mormon candidate lor Congress, was elected. 1 lie disposition of the democracy to look upon their defeat in New Hampshire as “a blessing in disguise” reminds a cotemporary of the remark of a North Carolina tar heel, suggested by the similar claim of the ■•John ny llehs” over the loss of S ivannali, Charles tin, Wilmington, Ac., viz.: “After all these blessings in di-guise, for mv part i should like to have one w ithout disguise, just lor a change." The Washington correspondent of tin* Cin cinnati Times gives a sketch of an interview witli Senator Sumner, in which the latter is represented as saying: “Of one thing you ill iy be sure, I shall never play into the hands of the democratic party, or support any tick et, which directly or indirectly restores them to power again. 1 have the good of my coun try and republican principles at heart, and 1 shall battle for them in the future as 1 have done in the past; ar.d entertaining such sen timents, I cannot aid in any movement which fosters an attempt to place in power again the democratic party.” With reference to his own course more particularly, lie said: “I must await the action of the Convention at Philadelphia, and then act as my con science dictates." The Boston Globe tells a story of a man in that city who early last week was boasting of his intention to change his residence and cheat the city out of his water rent. I.ast Wednesday morning he awoke only to find the water shut off from his dwelling. Re pentant of having expressed so dishonest a determination, he went to the ottice and paid his hill, after which he humbly requested that the water might be again let on. To his sur •prise lie was informed that .lack l'rost had shut oil' the water, and lie returned home, it is hoped, a more honest man. The house in which John Brown was born is still standing in Torrington, Connecticut, on a hilltop—a brown, wooden farm-house, now tenanted hv a colored family, and even the bedroom on the ground floor in which he was horn is shown to visitors, and has half its door cut oil and carried away for relies of the martyr. The homestead is “about a mile northwest of the meeting-house,” and maybe reached from Wulcottville, on the Naugatuck railroad, by a drive across the hills. -Vi.'IV' rUDLlCATIOSS. The Atlantic Monthly for April opens with The Ballard of Carniilhan, by Longfellow; the history of Jefferson in the House of Bur gesses of Virginia, is continued; Quite So, is a New England story by T. B. Aldrich; the remaining contents are John Brown in Massachusetts; A Comedy of Terrors; Di versions of the Echo Club; The Brook's Message; Immigration; Taint’s English Lit erature; The Brewing of Soma; Septimius Felton, or the Elixir of Life; Ti.e Poet at the Breakfast Table; notices of literature, art, music, science and polities. Blackwood's Magazine for March ha* been republished very early by the Leonard Scott Publishing Company of New York. It is an unusually attractive numbir, ar.d contains an enthusiastic sketch of the Life of General Lee, and a careful estimate of bis personal character and of bis military career. There is also a paper by Cornelius O’Dowd, entitled “The American Revoke,” and many other interesting articles, all in the true Blackwood style. On the whole this number possesses peculiar interest to readers here at the pres ent moment. The follow ing are the contents in full: A True Reformer; Voltaire Maid of Sker—Part VIII; Autumnal Manoeuvres; 1 he Manchester Nonconformists and Politi cal Philosophy; General Lee; Cornelius O'Dowd, The American “Revoke;” Minis ters before l’arliment. The April number of Our Young Folks has a large store of interesting things for the children. Tales, poetry and illustrations are in the first part, and in the last pages is a ballad dramatized, and enigmas, charades, rebuses, and other matter to engage the mind in healthful and pleasing exercise. This fa vorite publication desesves its popularity. The Harper Brothers continue the publi cation of Barnes's Notes. They have just issued his work on the First llpistle of Paul to tl»e Corinthians. It is a small volume, containing the llpistle and comments and explanations by the commentator. The notes are full, candid in tone, learned and instructive. Those w ho do not agree with the theology of the author may be interested in bis opinions. Horace North has it for sale. There is no end to discussions about the Darwinian theory concerning the origin of the human family. The last of this kind is an ably written pamphlet entitled “The Cra nial Affinities of Man and the Ape,” published by Lee and Shepard. The author is Prof. Rud Vi rchow. But while this writer proves to his own satisfaction that man can not be decendeds from any known family of apes, lie thinks it not impossible that he may have sprung from some unknown species of the ape or some other animal. This is not much different from Darwinianism. Horace North has it. Lippineott’s Magazine for April opens with a continuation of Whymper’s Scrambles Amongst the Alps. Illustrations accompany the article. Louisa Parr contributes Fair Margaret, the Belle of Asligate. There is an article descriptive of the Patagonians at home; and perhaps none will be read with more interest than Reminiscences of the Parly Stage of the Rebellion, by Horatio King. 1 here is much other matter, poetry as well as prose, thai is worthy of the reader's attention. The April number of Scribner's Monthly devotes its first pages to several descriptive articles, one the Mare Island Navy Yard, an other tWe Curiosities of Plant iAfe. An arti. ele upon the Mormon Prophet is contributed. Charles Dudley Warner contributes number four of Backlog Studies, which is not lacking the peculiar humor and grace of other pr ductions of the author. Mrs. Oliphant con tinues her serial,. At 11 is Gates. For variety, we suppose, there is an article upon The One Human liace, which is decidedly theological, and not in favor of tk theory that men sprang from monkeys. I he Harpers publish in cheap pi; reavers. “I he Hovels of Arden,” one of Miss M. H. Brnddon'g novels. Hike other works f the authoress this is a fascinating v Jume. lVi-'e ets. Horace North has it. We have received from th il irpers ‘T’uor Miss Finch,” by Wilkie Collins. This is an exciting novel, full of Grange and startling things. Headers of fiction will not grow weary of it. in paper and cloth covers. Horace North has it. A new volume, which is destined to be pc- j ru-ed by many readers is issiu d by the Harpers, entitled ‘Around the World, Sketches of Travel through Many Hands and over Many Seas.” The author i> H.

In speaking of the formation of the Iieform Club in Gardiner, the Journal says that there is one thing that strikes it favorably—ti e steal with winch the clergy enter into the spirit of this reform.

Let all work t igcthor cordially to aid and sustain this bless ed work; ami to encourage those who have forsaken their c-cps. As there seems to be a general misappre hension araurc depositors in regard to the State tax impmed y the last legislature upon savings banks, a gentleman well versed in law explains: The Treasurer ot a savings bank is not required to make riturns of the several depositors to the city or town asses sors. The banks pay to the State Treasurer from their gross earnings the one half of one per cent, tix on the total amount of deposits, without any reference to the individu al depos itors.

A most gratifying temperance reform move ment has sprung up along the Kennebec, particularly in Augusta and Gardiner—a movement among men of standing and influ ence, a part of whom have hitherto been more or less addicted to the use of alcoholic beverages and all more or less unfriendly to temperance reform. If the parties whose names wo see in connection with the move ment in Augusta will not grow weary in well doing. they have inaugurated a reform that will do more than a battalion of police to enforce laws without their aid.

“Where is row mother “Punno, Mass Cap’n. Ole Mass done sol' her down in Georgy las' corn-shu kin’ an’ I ain’t ncbber heerd ob her sence. But 1 t’otight mehlie she mought ha’ t unned "wav too, an’ I’d tin' her wid der Unions.” ••‘Well, now what are you going to do “Punno, Mass Cap'n. I'd like to stay 'long wid you.” "What can you do “Kin wait on yer. Mass Cap'n; kin shine up boots; an'—" brightening up as iiis eyes, wandering round, caught sight of the horses—kin clean de bosses right smart.” “You are not big enough to take care ol a horse.” “'Peed I is, Mass Cap’n; an' I ain't feared o' no iioss. Ole Mass alius sot me ter 'tend ter de hosses dat nobody else could n't manage. I)ey alius lets me han dle ’em ef dey's eber so debblesomc. Jes’ yer try me Mass Cap’ll, an’ see ef 1 ain’t tolled yer de troof.” “If I keep you with me, you must be a good bov and do as I tell von.” "Peed 1 will. Mass Cap'n. I'sedo ebery word yer say, sho’s your bohn.” So when tiie troops left Harrison's Land ing Tobe went too, in charge of the Cap tain's horse and baggage; and, when the steamer was fairly underway, brightened into a new creature, as every revolution of the wheel placed a greater distance be tween himself and “ole Mass.” •‘Mass Cap'll" he asked one day, “wliar is we gwine at "Either to Washington or Alexandria. I don't know exactly which.” "Wilt dar be one sto’ up dar, Mass Cap'n "Yes, there are plenty of stores. What do you want from one “Please, Mass Cap’n please jes’—” and he stammered and caught his breath, ap parently overwhelmed by the magnitude of his desires. “Well, out with it; what wonderful thing do you want “Please, Mass Cap'n, buy me one i banjo?” “A banjo! what on earth do you want of that “Kin play Me banjo right smart; an' dance too. Ki! Mass Cap'n, 1 plays ter yer all de time.” “There'd be rather too much of a good thing’ about that!-’ “Is yer goine ter git it for me, Mass Cap’n “Idon’t know, 111 see when wo get there." If friends from home had been at Wash ington or Alexandria, to welcome the 'Peninsular veterans’ on their return, they would scarcely have recognized those they sought in that crowd of ragged, hag gard. war-worn men. Ilair and beard uncut and uncared for, for weeks formed an effectual disguise. Said one officer, “I lost my brush and comb a month ago; and since then I’ve let my horse lick my hair down once in a while bv way of a brushing.” There were erownless and rimless hats; sleeveless’ and skirtlcss coats, sometimes no coat at all; pantaloons with the legs.half torn away by briers; l>oots without tops, and tops withoift soles. The “grand army of the Potomac” looked more like an assemblage of bandits and pirates than regularly enlisted United States V olunteers. But pay-day came. Everybody got “fixed up;” and Tobe fell heir to an old cavalry uniform. It didn’t fit to be sure. The pantaloons came up to his shoulders, and wore rolled up in great bunches round his ankles. The jacket came down to his knees; and the sleeves hung like yawning caverns into which his hands disappeared so far, that it seemed doubtful whether ho would find them again. But there were the gilt buttons and cavalry stripes and Tobe’s inmost soul rejoiced over them. He was so absorbed in his clothes that he seemed to have forgotten the banjo; when, one day, the Captain suddenly held one up before him. His eyes dilated till they seemed to cover half his face and he gasped out, “Yer gi’ me dat ar. Mass Cap’n “You said you wanted a banjo, didn't you “I knows I axed yer for buy me one; but I t'ought mebbe yer wouldn’t gi’me de clo’es an’ do banjo too.” “Well, which will you have, the clothes or the banjo Tobe answered never a word, but (nilied off his jacket, and laid it at the Captain’s feet. Captain Leigh laughed. “Well,” he said, “if you want a banjo ns bad as that you shall have it. Here, take it.’,’ “\Vhar mils’ I put de clo’es at. Mass Cap'n?” “You need not put them anywhere. Keep them on.” “Does ver mean fer gi’ me de elo'es an’ de banjo too And understanding at last that it was really so, Tobe gave vent to his feelings in a prolonged “Ki-yi!” then stood on his head, kicking his heels in the air, till his voluminous garments proving too much for him, lie lost his balance and rolled over. This sobered him. He pick ed himself up, and walked oil’ carrying the banjo as if it were a baby.
