A TALE OF SALEM WITCHCRAFT. (CONTINUED FROM VESTERDAT.j While these scenes were passing in Enoch Dalton's homestead, that lay on the highway between Salem and the little fish ing village of Marblehead, the shade* of evening had descended upon the demure first-mentioned town, and the lights twinkled out here and there from the houses, while the streets were already de serted. In 1693 they were not brilliantly illuminated, and the inhabitants found it more agreeable to stay within doors than to light their own uncertain steps with a hand lantern. Nearly in the centre of the town tose Salem jail, dark and uninviting in outward appearance, though in reality hospitable enough. It held within its four walls more guests than any house in all New England could have boasted. Wild accusations following closely on each oth er had peopled its cells with witches, and when one was given over to the hang man's hands, there was no danger but that a new occupant for the vacant place would soon he found. Besides these unwilling guests, how evever, there were on this particular evening certain others, two or three worthy neighbors of Mistress Burns, the jailor’s wife. The goodly dames had the pleasure of hearing from her own lips how the Reverend Mr. Pryor and the jus tices had made a solemn visit that alter noon to the witch. Mistress Wilson, who was to be hanged on the morrow—how they had exhorted her to confess her evil practices and her penitence for the same, and how they had been obliged to go away with their purpose uneffetled, be cause the witch obstinately continued to declare that she had done no harm to ariy creature. Then had the reverend gentle man affirmed that he had wrestled long and earnestly for her sinful soul, aud that now, unless she expressly begged for his ghostly counsel, he should come to her no more. That meant that the dismal jail cart, the sheriff, and the hangman were the only further assistants she would have on the journey to another world. The shudder that such a thought awakened, token in connection with Mistress Burns' good cheer, amounted to an agreeable ap palling sensation. The good wives would fain see the witch, they said—just a little peep, as it were, fur verily to approach her too nearly in her last hours were ill advised. i he room in which Mistress \V ilson was to pass the night before her execution was somewhat larger and more commodious than the cell where she had been confined. It had been thought only fitting that the worshipful and reverend gentlemen should be received in decent quarters—a midway halting-place for her between the narrow walls of a dungeon and eternity’s illimita ble space. The room was made secure by iron gratings, and locks, and bolts innu merable, and it had a small barred window opening on a passage and provided with a shutter, pushed to and fro at will from the outside, by means o( which the occupant could be observed. Mistress Burns opened this shutter a little wav, and then several pairs of eyes peered in through tiie crack. The witch was walking slowlv up and down, clad in the widow’s gaib that she had worn since all hope was lost of her husband's return from sea. She held in her arms her child, that she had been al lowed to have once more before her death, not so much because of her earnest prayer as l« see if the Dalton babe experienced ill effects. It was a beautiful little creature that laid its curly head upon|her shoulder, and passing to and fro beloro the tallow can dle, forgotten when her inquisitors de parted, site never failed to look down at the bloom upon its cheeks, just visible in that dim light. It was hardly to be sup posed that the witcfte’s brat had been very tenderly cared for during her long con finement, but nevertheless she clasped it again, with joy, as fresh and lovely as a rose. It tiie proof of her evil doings lay in the fact that her child throve while others peaked and pined, then indeed her guilt was plain. “She kisses the babe,” whispered tiie woman at the window. “Ay. she makes as though she were very loud ot it; but I know not whether to think site is or no.” “I verily think she is,” said the jailor’s wife for there can none come nigh her but she'll beg and pray them to care for the child when site is gone. Even to-day she importuned the worthy gentlemen iu most unseemly manner, and wept and wrung her hands till they were fain to tell her the parish would care for it e’en though it bo a witch’s babe.” ■•juisiress uums, came a somewhat deep but clear voice that made them all start," I pray thee, give me some milk tor the child.’’ The little creature hud be gun to be uneasy and to fret, for, sharing the mother's continemtnt, it was con demned to Irer fate of bread and water, which had proved in no way to its taste. “Wouldst.give it her?” consulted the jailer's wife. "Nay, wherefore said one. “Let her find a charm to still it.’’ And arrother as Mistress M ilson made a step toward the window, clapped the shutter to In all haste. "Let her not breathe on us, for then are we all bewitched I doubt she is very dangerous to-night.” The women tied, back in alarm to the festive candle light and the evening en tertainment of cake and cider with which their hostess was presently to treat them. Hut she, retiring to the pantry to bring in those danties with her own hands, arrang ed her tray as if she were all the time thinking of something else. Finally, she took down a pewter mug out of which her children once had drunk, poured it full of milk, and went down the passage again to the little wooden shutter. llatkl the child was fretting, but the [coNTtNlKD ON rOCKTH TAOl j -I

Whut Would have Been. Iu reading the reports of the splendid celebrations in all parts of the country of the or.e hundreth anniversary of our na tion's birth-day, we are naturally led to think how changed the condition of tilings would have been had the Southern Con federates succeeded in accomplishing their plans. First of all the Union would have been completely destroyed. The l nited States would no longer have existed as a nation. The Government established by Washing ton, Hancock. Adams, Franklin and the other revolutionary fathers would have been a splendid failure. The Declaration of Independence would hive become a bye-word and reproach. The granite shaft on Bunker Hill would have been a monument to declare the disgrace of file present generation of Americans. There would have been no Centennial to cele brate, no “Fourth of July” to awaken any but feelings of humiliation and shame. The StateB which seceded fipm the Un ion would have had a government of their own, the chief cornerstone of which j would have been Slavery. 'Ihe govern ment itself would have been a despotism, no matter what the name it might have a-ssuincd. The slaveholding oligarchs would have controlled it completely, naming its rulers and fixing its character and policy with a power as despotic as that with which the Caesars ruled the Ro man Empire. It would have contained more than four millions of people in the most absolute bondage, slaves to every interest and caprice of their masters, their chains doubly secure by separation from the North and the erection of a govern ment that would guard the Institution vigilantly with both army and navy. In the North we should not have been able to retain our republican institutions. Gradually they must have given way to a government like the majority of those in Europe. We should have been forced to keep a standing army and a powerful na vy to protect ourselves against the Caua das of the North and the Confederacy on the South. Custom houses would have stretched across the continent, involving vast expense, hindering commerce, aud making a line ol division destined to be colored again and again with the blood of hostile armies as we see in the Mexi can and South American Slates. So long as the Union remained dismembered and divided as it would have been by the Southern Confederacy, war would have been the principal oceu paiion on both sides of the line. There could be no stable peace, no prosperity, no gaiety for individuals or communities. The channels of trade, our rivers and railroads, would have been severed or choked up, while the wheels of business would have been disastrously checked, sending grief to farmers, mechanics and laborers in all occupations. We glance at wliat would have been the condition of things in this country on the last Fourth of July if the rebels had carried their point in the last war, in or der to awaken a lively sense in the minds of patriotic readers to tin- dangers which we escaped in crushing the Southern Con federacy, to the debt which they owe the republican party for the salvation of the government, and to impres upon them the fact that there is still danger of the ove-rturu of tills government should the democrats succeed in electing Samuel .1 Tilden President and getting the control of both branches of Congress as they have of the House. Had the democratic party had its way during the rebellion the Southern Confederacy would have been established beyond a doubt. As a consequence our glorious flag would now be trailing in the dust, our Centennial re joicings would have been changed to mourning over the* destruction of the in dependence our fathers achieved, and the despots of the Old World would have been exulting over our downfall. it is impossible that any patriot should fail to remember as he w itnesses the over flowing joy of our people at the anniver sary of the nation, how much is due to tl.e republican party for the opportunity to rejoice, and how dangerous it would be to trust the government now in the hands that did their utmost to destroy it or pas sively stood by and consented to allow and even to aid the work ol destruction to go on. From the Chicago Tiihuee. The Two C onventions. There could scarcely be a greater con trast between two national assemblages, both purporting to be representative bodies, than there has been between the incionati and St. Louis C onventions, lhe difference between the two might be com prehensively stated to be the difference between the tepubliean and democratic parties,—the one representing the intelli gent, industrial, and commercial peopled the country, and the other a conglomerate and incongruous mass of people embrac ing pretty much till the adventurous and nomadic classes. The contest at ineiii nati was as bitter as at St. Louis, and the preliminary struggle in both eases was long and determined. Hut the methods adopted were very different. The canvass of candidates at Cincinnati, though fierce ly partisan, was gentlemanly, honest, and decent. In St. Louis it was carried on in bar-rooms, alter the manner of the lowest ward-politics of a large city. In Cincin nati there is reason to believe that not a dollar was used corruptly in the interest of any candidate. In St. Louis the ,'bar>] of money” sent in the interest of Mr. Til den has been placed where it was thought it would do most good, and it would not be easy to count the number of delegates whose vole represented the payment ol personal expenses. In Cincinnati the struggle was intellectual, in St, Louis phy sical. With Senator John Morrissey, the celebrated gambler and prize-fighter, heading a cohoit of New York roughs on Mr. Tilden’s side, and Tammany Sachem John Kelly, who lias succeeded Tweed as ••Boss,” heading another gang of roughs opposed to Mr. Tilden, the outside argu ments have been of the “knock-down” character, and a strong Arm has counted for more than a powerful brain. The main pressure brought to bear upon the Convention has been by betting and offer ing to bet, and by bribery. There has been little ot cool calculation of chances which marked the progress of the Cincin nati Convention, but an unsystematic and pell-mell scramble in partisan blindness. At Cincinnati there was method in the fol lowing of the leading candidate and method among his opponents, but at St. Louis ihere was no method among either the Tilden faction or the auti-Tilden fac tion the result was left to chance, on which the gamblers and roughs always base their hopes. The contrast may be be followed out in the actual proceedings of the St. Louis Convention, through the comparative tameness and weakness of the men chosen to the first places and of the speeches that were made, as well as in the uncouth re ception given them. There was a very palpable lack of ability it w-as so marked, indeed, that it may well be doubted whether the democratic party, aside from every question of honesty and policy, has the material competent to take charge ot the executive, legislative, and judicial machinery of a great government like ours. The selection of Mr. Watterson as Temporary Chairman was regarded with surprise, not oniy on account of thf con stitutional bashtulness which he has inher ited from the journalistic profession, but because of his utter and confessed igno rance of ull parliamentary rule and prac tice. But, as there was nobody of inllu ence in the Convention who seemed to be any better posted, Watterson managed it pretty much as he pleased. But the selec tion of a Permanent Chairman in the per son of MeClernand, of Illinois, was a more pronounced evidence of the poverty ot talent in the Convention. He began by stumbling, and stumbled all the way along, lie tried to make a committed speech pass for a spontaneous and extem poraneous utterance, but forgot his words; then he pulled out his manuscript from his pocket and could scarcely read his own writing. As the result proved, it was really not worth reading. But the Con vention did not want to give it up so. They still aspired to some of the oratori cal honors that distinguished the Cincin nati Convention, and Dan Voorhees was trotted out to offset Bob Ingersoll. The “Tall Sycamore of the Wa-baslr” strove hard. He wiestled with the most com plicated sentences; lie grappled with fig ures of speech that would have startled a less audacious man lie indulged in a fab ulous amount of martial comparisons for ii non-combatant; anil he was linally car ried o(T in a swooning and lachrymose condition, without having reached as high as B dj lngersoll's knees in all the oratorical llights he made. What Dan Voorhees tried in oratory, Sammy Cox tried in humor, the result of which was that any impression the former had made was rapidly dissolved in smiles. But the laugh was rather at Sammy than with him. Cox's New York constituency consist mainly of Sachem John Kelly, and hi. constituency had ordered him to St. Louis to opposo Tilden. Under this condition of things it was a great piece of folly to ask the Convention who was to lie their standard-hearer when he ought to have known that •■Tilden” would be the over whelming response from John Morrissey's roughs. But Sammy was not alone in his mistakes; he only followed the spirit of the Convention. It is entirely fair, and we believe the ex act truth, to say that the St. Louis onven lion a» compared with the Cincinnati on veution was a gathering of roughs, Black guards, ignoramuses, and Incompetents, and that a review of its proceedings does not point to any material of governing capacity or ability lor public affairs. As a body representing the democratic party it was even more discreditable, and per haps on that account more accurately rep resentative than the present democratic Congress. There were no signs ot vigor, of policy, of system, of experience, ol talent, or of patriotism, hut the same old desperate scramble lor office that has re sulted so disastrously for the last sixteen years. The massacre ot General Custer and his command on Little Horn River, Mon tana, on the tlrd inst. by the Indians, js a shocking affair. The massacred were General Custer, his two brothers and brother-in-law, seventeen other officers and tile soldiers. They were drawn into an ambuscade in a deep ravine and fell an easy prey to their savage foe. This bloody deed will have the effect to paralyze the advocates of peaceful and humane meas ures towards the Indians, and will proba bly react upon the latter with terrible and ruthless nergy.

A quarterly meeting of the Maine Industrial school for Girls, was held at Hallo well, on Wed nesday. The school is full to overflowing, and the rnanag ts have decided to make an appeal to the public for another school building, to atl’ord them enlarged accommodations. The Superintendent, Rev. Stephen Allen, l) L> submitted his quarter ly report. He has carefully acquainted himself w ith the duties of his office, and the condition and wants of the institution. In the difficult task of training the girls, the ladies at the school have la bored most earnestly. In the matter of discipline there has been some opposition to the rule of the Matron, on the pait of the children, but this has been in a measure suppressed. A system of awards for good behavior ha? been adopted, which is producing a good effect. Punishment for cf fenccs is occasionally necessary. Very good pro ficiency iu studies has been made in the school loom. Most of the girls can write a tolerably cor rect letter; some of the older girls are quite wed! skilled in sewing and lilting of dresses, washing and ironing, and several are good biead-inakers* All the cooking and washing of the house is done by the girls of the school. Some of the girls man ifest much skill and taste in this kind of uselul work. The farm i? capable of much greater produc tiveness. Il is, doubtful, however, whether lor some years, the income of the farm will be more than sufficient to meet the expense of carrying it on.

The newly ordained pastor of tli3 Congrega tional church, ltev. Mr. Bickford, is giving excel lent satisfaction. On the 1st of the mouth, the Wiuthrop Mills Company made a reduction of ten per cent in the wages of their opera’ives. The workmen accept the inevitable situation with good grace.

Your correspondent and family preferring the quiet of the woods, to the booming of cannon and ringing of bells, betook ourselves to this place to spend the “gloiious 4th.” We found everything in good condition after a w inter of rest, aud all our cottage required was a few touches of the bru»h, and a little air, to make it homelike and comfoit a:>le. As we had anticipated a day of rest wc at once entered upon it in light good earnest. Bus cares were all banished, aud we sincerely pitied the pleasure-seekers and others who had started on ladroad excursions with the mercury up among the nineties, aud congratulating our selves ou our good fortune. The grove never pie seuted a more beautiful appearance. Mr. Heed nas improved his time in caning giavei npou the -trccts, aud otherwise making the place more at tractive.

J. 1*. Carter has just completed a nice little cottage on Baker avenue. This avenue seems to be filling up faster than any other. 1 he solitude of the grove was broken by the ex cursionists on the steamer Clarion, who arrived about 2.30 1*.

Before the hour of leaving the sun came out in ail his glory aud presented a mag ui lice nt spectacle.

Very few families have yet settled on the grounds, but this week several will airive, pioba bly, when we w ill pet haps send you another note. ,s. Thorndike Locals. In our last week’s locals wc noticed that there was one word changed, and by so doing the arti cle conveyed a very different meaning than we iuteu led.

We did not wish to convey the idea that the bottles contained liquor, but merely that they were used by the boys in the place of cannons. The weather during the week has been very fine, but warm. Some of our faimeis have com menced haying, but there will be but little done until the middle or last ol next week.

The Lay crop does not appear to be as good in last year. In many places it was winter killed, more especially on the intervals. The crops are looking well and if we should be favored with rain during the next few weeks, the potato crop will be uuusually large. The army worm and cat erpillar havo made sad devastation in some parts of this locality. The surveyors have beeu at work repairing the roads the past week.

The State Convention of the Prohibition pally of Mass.,met in Trcniont iem pleat 11 o'clock to-day, about IflK) persons being present. 11.1). Cushing of Boston called the convention to order, aud Ubas. Altny was chosen temporary chairman; C. A. Hovey and Austin Bassett was chosen secretaries. Mr. Altny said that he hoped that they had come to perform the whole duty which devolved upon tstate conventions. Committees on credentials, nominations, per manent officers and tiuauce were then appointed. Wendall Phillips, who entered aud took a seat on tlie platform a little later, was received with loud applause, and it was then voted that persons nut delegates might remain on the Hour, and dele gates without credentials who could be vouched for. The Committee on Permanent organization re ported a list with Ucv. Ilr. Li. C. Eddy of Boston as chairman, and it was adopted. Rev. L. B. Botes of South Boston offered prayer, and the chairman then addressed the convention in favor of tudej eudeut action in State affairs. E. II. Claikof Boston, chairman of the Com miltee oil Credentials, reported 4G0 delegates had presented credentials aud that veiy lew were present without credentials. Judge If. C. Pitman of New Bedford, moved the appointment of a committee of eleven, on resolutions, to whom should be referred all reso lutions without debate. \V. II. Eavon of Quincy, offered a resolution pledging the patty to independent action unless one of the two parties nominated a straight pro hibitory candidate. A Committee on resolutions was appointed with Judge Pitman, chairman. Ev-I.ieut. flov. Tiask of Springfield nominated Hon. John J. Baker of Beverly, the candidate of last year, for Governor, and Ezra S. Couaut ot Randolph seconded the nomination. Mr. Eaxon opposed any nominal!',ns, believing that the best interests of the piohihilion could be served by remaining in the Republican party, and -ay ing that it cost money to carry on a j arty, ag.l lie would rather raise 810,000 among Republican prohibitionists than in a prohibitory convention. There were plenty of men who could shout pro hibition upioii the house-top and the hill-top, hut could sneak away fast enough when any cue asked them to give something. Mr. T'ask then wilbd.ew his motion and voted that all pails he represented on the committee. Mr. Gregg ol Boston moved to nominate a full prohibitory ticket, which was tabled.

A convection assembled licie yesterday, composed of respresentutives of American secret societies from every State iu the Union. After a debate, during which it was pro posed to make their own uomiuations for President aud Vice-President of the United Slates, a senes of resolutions were adopted opposing Catholic po litical organizations, endorsing the public school system, promising resistance to all efforts against the Bible, urging the election of congressmen who endorse Americanjprinciples, deprecating the revival of animosities between the North and South, favoring specie resumption, thanking Gtueial Grant lor his war services, and endorsing Hayes a id Wheeler for President aud Vice-Presi dent. The resolutions aie signed “By order ol the American Alliance, with the name of Samuel J. Ty ler, Secretary.” H ASIIINtiTON. Legislative. Washington, July G. One of the Senate mem hers of the committee of conference on the legis lative, executive and judicial appropriation lull, says that two of the three House coulerees squarely took the position to-iiay that the Senate must consent to the proposed changes in the law regarding the sulalirs aud the oigamzation of etvd service, or else the House will refuse any and all appropriations for the several brauebes ol the public service covered b\ the hi 1. The same autho.ity states that the Senate con i fences offered to meet the House half way for the reduction of the force and in other di'Cietiouarv matters, and to leave all questions of ie adjust ment of salaries to the next session, after an in vestigation by a joint committee duuug the recess, the salaries thus agreed upon at the next session to he retroactive to the commencement of the fiscal year. These propositions being du iined, aud a position assumed which the tsenate coulerees regard as coercive, the conference terminated mna radical disagreement, and the prospects lot the adjustment of the differences between the two houses sic now as discouragiug as at any time.

The listener waited till the voice ceased and then opening the window, said oau tiously: ••I've brought the esome milk,mistress. The witch was there in an instant with a thankful exclamation on her lips, and this lime the other forgot to be alarmed at her vicinity, for the little can stuck last between the bars, and both were only bent on extracting it. Mistress Wilson bad laid aside her wid ow's cap lor the night, and loosened her dark hair that fell like a veil over her shoulders. 'The light from the lamp, that the jailer's wife hail set on the w indow ledge, shone on her white lorehead and downcast lids, with their delicately fring ed lashes, while her slender lingers worked about the cup to draw it through. As it yielded at last, she s:yd. as if the unlooked-for kindness awakened a stul di n hope, but in a voice that betrayed the cominff tears: ••Oh, Mistress Burns, wilt thou think 01 my boy sometimes when-’’ That was too much tor the other. To her excited fancy the deep, violet blue eyes shone with a mysterious light, and who could tell but the breath from those sorrowing-speaking lips had already con taminated her The closing window cut off the rest, as Mistress Burns snatched her lamp and sped away. “Shalt be at the hanging?" asked her friends when they took leave. “It is very early in the morning," was the doubtful answer. “They say it is thus ordeicd that there may be no great crowd as heretolore. It creates a clamor and disturbance that is unseemly in a town so plainly under the judgments of Providence as this. Still, 1 myself think t» be there, for ot the last 1 was prevented by my husband’s cousin. Increase Goodwin, with his wife and chil dren and wife’s sister, who all came to see them that were hanged o’ Tuesday, so that I was forced to stand at the kitch en lire and prepare a meal lor them while they amused themselves in the streets. This time, however, is lay turn, since no on's is like to conic before six o'clock in the morning. And surely it is a comfort ing and edifying spectacle in these troub lous times, to see the wretches given over to their father, the devil." “Ay," said another of the women, “and perchance she will confess In the end, as lfester Scott did at sight of the gallows. For Hester declared, as ye all know, not only that she herself had attended the witches' Sabbath, but told of many whom snehad met in that devil's congregations, and spake of none, forsooth, with more certainty than of Mistress Wilson, who rode through the air with her cat on her shoulder, and boasted of how 6he was drawing the Dalton child’s blood from its tinger-ends and tormenting Mr. William’s son thrice daily. It is an excellent thing when the witches confess. Only so can lull knowledge be obtained who among us is sold to Satan.” “Verily,” said a third. “Howbeit, to my thinking, the judges act somewhat slowly in this matter, and give the evil time to spread. One hundred and fifty imprisoned, and as yet but seventy con demned, and only twenty hanged! I doubt the gentlemen would do better to proceed more quickly with the sentences, for so the jails are lull to overflowing, and j many escape detection, from the impossi bility of bringing them to trial. Well, well, we must be watchful to prayer and tarry in patience till it pleaseth the Lord to look upon our alllietion. 1 wish thee good night mistress, and hope to meet thee to-morrow." There were many in the town that night who waked to weep and pray. In one house were some grievously tormented, in another a member of the family had been torn from the midst of it, charged with practicing the devices of Satan, and dragged, accursed of God and man, to imprisonment, condemnation and death. D r. one who sat in Salem jail heard every hour of the night go by, till the watchman called lor the last time his delusive cry of “All’s well!” and the day had dawned— the day when a witch was to die.

Catarrh, in its extent and dc-tractive force stands next to Consumption and is closely allied it) it; lor in certain constitutions the transition from one to the other is only a question ol time. It is therefore a singular thing that those afflicted with it should not make it the object ol tneir lives to rid themselves ol it. A single bottle of any remedy rained, in the chronic stage, effect a cure nor even bring the system under its iniluenee fully, in manv such cases the bones and cartilage of the no -e are eaten away, the organs of hearing, ol see ing, and ol tarting so affected as to be rendered useless, the uvula so elongated aud inflamed as U produce a constant and distressing cough. The icturn to hea4lb must necessarily be slow, under the niO't favorable circumstaucea, when so seri ously afflicted; but as the evidence ol its great val ue daily comes to hand, we become mure and more sati-tied that there docs not exist a case of Catarrh ttiat cannot be cured bv a judicious and persistent tee of Sanford’s Radical Care 1>r Catarrh.
