A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com mercial has been delving in the records of the underground railroad in the early ab olition days, and an interesting story is the result. Calvin Fairbanks is its hero, and the heroine, his wife, a Massachusetts woman, who for fifteen years proved loy al to her betrothal while he served out a State prison sentence for helping slaves to escape. Fairbanks' first offence was in 1844. when he successfully helped off a family of Lexington negroes hot failed to escape himself. He was sen tenced to fifteen years imprisonment for this, hut after four years the great efforts in his behalf by parents and friends se cured his release. In I80I business drew voung Fairbanks from his New York home to the Kentucky border once more, and his anti-slavery sympathies again get ting the better of him, he ran off to Cana da and to freedom a young slave woman, and then by a perversity of luck he was again arrested and the old sentence of fif teen years in the Frankpirt prison reaf firmed. This was a severe blow, for the young abolitionist was ou the point of marrving Miss Tileston, of Wdliams burgh. Mass who had already been true to him through the period of his former imprisonment. It also came like a blight upon his sweetheart's hopes anil dreams of hspi noss, hut her affection only increased with the new demand made upon it. The pros p“ct of such a long and dreary separation would have chilled the ardor of anv but the purest and most unselfi-h love. There was little hope for pardon, as this was his second offense; there was nothing t do hut await llie expiration of the fifteen years. With many this would have amount al to a relinijuishnient of the mar riage engagement—perhaps, in time, to tiie forming of new ties by the lady. But Miss Tileston never entertained such a thought she fulfilled the highest ideal of womanly constancy, with that uncon sciousness of doing anything praisewor thy which always accompanies noble ac tions. Sne left her home anil her friends in Massachusetts tor the purpose of being near her betiothed. and devoting herself to him. She came to Ohio, established hersell at Hamilton, and hegan to teach school. It was no slight thing to leave the shelter and support of a home and earn her bread among strangers, but thoughts of her lover, and how she could snst tin and cheer him, were uppermost in her mind. She planned constantly how she could alleviate his hardships, and comfort and sustain him in distress. He had need of her utmost sympathy and affection. His life at best was dreary, brutal, monotonous, and, at times, his sufferings were great. His keepers dis liked him on account of his anti-slavery principles, and were especially severe on hint because this was his second offense. He wa« kept at work in the hemp factory, where the air was filled with dust and floating brown lint, and this so aggra vated Hie lung disease with which he at times suffered, that his health and strength I failed, and lie could not always fulfill bis daily task, When he failed he was bound over a chair and whipped on bis bare back witli strips of raw-hide until he fainted. He says: "I have counted the blows up to sixlv I could count no more. After the whipping little particles of flesh would be found on the wails several feet away." But this part of iiis sufferings he kept from Ills “dear one watching over the bonier,” as he called her. lie desired tj spare her fond and faithful heart all the pangs he could. Often, he says, when the years between him and freedom rose before him like an iron wall, which no human energy could surmount, and the cruelty and horror and dreary monotony of his lot came keenly to his mind, and he realized afresh that he was stint from all improving influences, the faces of friends, the delights of social lile, the common joys him, but he thrust it aside lor his loved one’s sake, and summoned again ail his cour age and endurance. Thus each lived for tiie other, ami found a higher joy in lov ing than in being loved. The laithlul, loving woman spoilt her daily life and fulfilled her daily duties at Hamiitou, but her heart was at Frankfort. Slie was watchful ot every need, anil 01 every cpportuuiiy to relieve and cheer the prisoner. She sent him warm, comfort* ble bedding and underclothing, boxes ol supplies, canned iiuit, preserved meats and other delicacies, which were in pi as ant contrast to the coarse prison tare. She sent him books and psp.-rs, and mouey with which to purchase little comloris and luxuries. She wrote to him olten, long, loving letters, which assured him ot her unwavering affection, and cheered and fi led him ith In ps. She encouraged aud sustained biiu, and enabled turn t endure his hard and dreary lot. She visited him as olten as the pn-on authorities would allow, and her visits brought sunshine whose radiance last'd lor weeks. She pit tinned the Governor lor his pardon, and she appealed to influential meu in Frankfoit and Lexington in his behalf. Her efforts in mis direction, however, amounted to nothing. lie had violated the laws of the Stale a second time, and though efforts were made at various times by his friends to obtain his release, they availed nothing. And more thau all else this brave and loving womau dal, she learned the "long, dull anguish ot pa tience,” which is iiifiniltly harder thau to do or dare. MissTilestou endured lor her lover’s suke the slow years ol waning, the long separation Irom home and trieuds, the round of daily toil among comparative strangers, and diil it all because it seemed the right thing to do, unconscious that there was any heroism in it. Her lover seems to have had the grace to appreciate all her stli-sacrifice and devoliou. Now and then, in referring to her be ceils her f CONCLUDED ON FOURTH P*OE.J

SMITH, keen tary. Suppressing the Colored ote. With the pissing away of "bayonet rule” in the South we were promised by the democratic party ttiat the elections in that section should be free and lair. Noth ing they said interfered with fair elections but federal bayonets'. Hut it appears the Southern democrats have not yet got things quite to their wind. The colored people are inclined to vote the republican ticket when they have opportunity, not withstanding the absi ucu ol federal bay onets; and to stop such an offence to the white democracy the latter are resorting to legislative enactments to prevent tne colored p‘ople from voting. North Caro lina furnishes a late instance ol an at tempt to repress the negro vote by arbi trary, unjust, harrassing laws. A letter to the New Yoik Times explains the pro cess in lull. "The enactiueiits in ques tion,” says the Times “when shorn ot le gal verbiage, provide simply that tlie vole ol any citizen ot North Carolina may be challenged by any person who places him self at the pills for taut pnpise. Hoiug so challenged, the democratic election law presumes that t ie citizen is not entitled tj vote, and not only iu its spirit, but almost in the letter, assumes that he is utt imptiug to commit a fraud. To overcome such a challenge, almost unheard-of difficulties are thrown iu tile way of the voter. In the first place he is obliged to prove his identity and to show bis continuous resi dence in a given district, and is then fur ther required to take au oath that he is a regularly qualified vut r and the person be represents himself to be. Having gone through all this process, however, lie is still almost as far Irom the baiiol-box as he was when first challenged, for ihe admira ble democratic law under which he at tempts to exercise his rights stipulates very distinctly that iu i-p t; of the proof referred to. iu spite of oains and affirma tions, the citizen may slid be deprived ol his vote, ‘provided the Judges of the Election are satisfied from their own know ledge that he is not a legal voter.' It will thus be seen that the decision ol each cast raised by a cha.lenge rest* en tirely with the Judges. I hey are abso lute in the powrtr to say wuo may vote or who may o thlessnes of the hoods, as a dishonest trade-man chuckles over bis success in passing a couutetleit half dollar to an uususpecting customer is the spirit which animates nearly two-thirds ol the Democratic paity, aod if the Democrats obtain cuutrol ol Congress it will -how itsell iu tlie public acls of the Gutted States. When that happens oui eouutiy will have received a wound from which it cauuot Hope to recover iu our time. The picture of the Belfast greenback convention, as presented by the green back organs of tbe Fifth district, needs no hand unfriendly to the greenback cause to eld to its repulsive features. The Com munistic bowlings of the speakers, the wild scramble to obtain tbe coveted nom ination, the charges and counter charges among the leaders iu regard to bribery and caucus packing, aud the final result— the nomination of Murch the Striker and Communist—afford such a representation of greenbackism that we should think no decent man will be willing in future to join the party. What tlie Greenback Organs say of the Greenback Convention in the Fifth l>istrict« The two greenback organs iu tbe Fifth Con gressional District, speak of the greenback con vention held at Belfast as follows: [From the Progressive Age The attendance upon tbe Congressional Conven tion in this city, Tuesday, was limited to this and Ivuox counties aud a few towns in Hancock coun ty, mostly those where stone-cutters and miners reside or are employed. There was no represen tation from Washington county except C. H. Wln-ldeu, Esq., of the Calais limes. The Con vention was mainly controlled by the laboring or stone-cuttiug element of tbe greenback party whose uuious extend through mauy of our shore towus. As soon as the organization was effected a Mr. Campbell, ot Hock laud, took the floor and made a very violent speech, ills argument, in effect, was Ulead or blood. He depicted the waut aud suffer ing of the laboring classes iu the most distressing colors. His sigumeut was substantially that which has been advauced by tbe Carndcu Herald —mat unless ttie condition of tbe laboring menu! the country was made better they would be justi fied iu appealing to torce. He bitterly deuouuced me actiuu of Congress iu refusing to reduce the ar my, charactenz.ug it as a menace to tbe suffering laboring people. In regaid to nominations he de clared with great vehemence agaiust the nomina tion of any man for office who had been piotni ueutly identified with tue old parties, and aavoca ted the nomination only of those in the ranks of the woi kiugmen. Mr. Lainpbel) was followed by Joseph \V. Knowltou, Esq. of Liberty, who seemed deter mined to go one better. He alluded to certain contributions to a paper, some ten or twelve years ago, in tegaid to taxing bonds, that it was the pioneer ol the greenback party in this county, it is surprising bow mauy pioneers there are lie men piocceded to denounce the action of past Congiesses in me moat bitter terms. And tbe convection listened wnb surpnse to his declara tion that the Republican platform waa erected up oa bayonet-, and that the Greenback party was ;es0.ved to puli it down. W'e mnat coudemu such utterances a«* those, not less than those of the previous speaker. We cannot afford to do iqjus .iceto any party. Tbe Republican party has, in our vitw, taken a wrong position in regaid to the cuireocy question, and we cannot support it; but lo represent it as attempting to establish bayonet rule in this couutry, is most unjust and out rageous. ii Bro. Kuowlton’s object was to se cure tbe nomination he certainly fell vety far short of it. When tbe question of nomination of a candidate was in order, a Rockland delegate presented Mutch’s name as the candidate of the Slone Cut ters’ Union, which it was represented numbered two thousand members iu tue* district, and the threat was made that they would not support the ticket unless their candidate received the uomioa tion. This produced cousideiahle commotion. Mr. Murch subsequently repudiated the threat, and daeha setts last week, when asked if he was to be the candidate for Governor of the btate on the Green back ticket, that he “had no knowledge ou the suhj cl." He said, further, that in no event, should he go to Congress any more—“Uuless somebody says I shan't." As to the United btales benatorsbip, he said “Oh, well, there are no Sen atorial vacancies for three years, aud a mau of my age don’t look forward so far as that." General Garfield, in his Fourth of July speech at Gainesville, refetred with great good sense and good feeling to the so-called war between capital and lat>or. "But 1 don’t believe," be said, “such a people as ours are dcstiued to be broken down; it is only necessary for us to understand a dauger in order to avoid it or crush it. And in the whole wide circle this is the only dauger I can see. Leaving out that 1 should say that the coming years sloped forward into giandeur." General News* There were fourteen deaths from sunstroke in Boston during the psat week. General Gordon has purchased a farm in Geor gia of the generous size of 1,900 acres, and is go ing to raise sheep upon it. Judge Lord has decreed that Laura Joyce shall have ^1800 per year as alunioy; and that the father may keep the oldest aud the mother the youngest child. Prof. Lewis Swift of Rochester, N.

Beu Noyes, formerly Preside ul of the National Capital Life Insurance Company, was sentenced on Saturday at Newark, X. J., to 18 months in the Slate Prison fof conspiring to delraud the policy holders. Joseph Buzzell, who instigated a half witted boy to murdei a youug woman at Brookfield, N. H over three years ago, and who was tried as princi pal aud was acquitted, was eu Saturday found guilty of murder in the Hist degree, aud was sen tenced to be hauged July 10, 1879. Several colored people b*ve commenced a suit to recover hve million dollars’ worth of property located iu Kentucky, Virgiuia and other Southern states, which they ciaim wa« willed to them by a found master, an Luglishiaaa, who died many years ago. The Cincinnati Gazette says that “the crops are excellent, and fortunately there is plenty of money to move them. If prices are not high the rnouey received will buy a great deal more than it would a few years ago. iu this regard a dollai will go as far as two dollars six or eight years ago.” A moderate amount of fat is generally consid ered evidence of good health. About oue twentieth part of the weight of a mau aud the sixteenth of a woman is considered the normal proportion. Its office, aside from its value iu giv ing symmetry to the figure, is to preveut the rapid escape of animal heat, and also to supply the waste of tissue from sickuess, unusual ex ertion aud temporary deprivation of food. WE BELIEVE That if everyone would use Hop Bitters freely, there would be much less sickuess aud misciy iu the world; and people are lost finding this out, whole families keeping well at a trifling cost by its use.

A large proportion of the American people are to-ilsy dying Irom the effects of Dyspepsia or dis ordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of intelligent and valuable people is most alarming, making life actually a burden in stead of a pleaaaot existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be.

Partridge Rios., the enterprising druggists in Augusta, being large dealer* in Paria Green, have iabued a circular for free distribution to farmer*, on the destruction of the Colorado pota to bug pest, from which we clip the following di-: rections for saving the potato crop by the use of Paris Green Put a table spoonful in a pail of water. Stir occasionally while applying to the potato vines, to keep the Green well mixed with the water Thus prepared it can he put on the hills with a fine sprinkler; hut a better and more economical method of applying it is to take a small corn broom or whisk, or anything that will tpattrr well, dip it into the Pari* Green water and sprinkle on each hill. One pound economically used will save an acre of potatoes. It should he applied us soon as the slugs appear, a* these do the most damage. In the West the application of Paris Green is as much an incident of raising potatoes as planting and hoeing. It is perfectly safe to handle when used in this manner, and there need he wo fear ot poisoning the potatoes, as Paris green is a chemical compound of copper and ar senic, which is decomposed by contact with the earth. Chemists who have made practical inves tigations on this subject, state that an application of even two hundred or three hundred pounds to the acre will produce no trace of poison in pota toes raised on that ground. Where potatoes are raised on a large scale, a sprinkler for applying it is sometimes rigged on small wheel* to haul be tween the rows. Doings of Ihr Board of Aldermen.

We have not yet said Boutke had official notification that the convention had becu formally notified to the powtrs. The Times’ Berlin correspondent says consider able sensation is created heie by news of tLe Anglo-Turkish alliance. There is a feeling that the Oriental questiou has entered now upon a de cisive stage aud that the remodeling process will cou'iuue after the Berliu meeting is over. The London newspapers, excepting the Daily News comment favorably on the Anglo Turkish treatiy. '1 he Times says although the transform ation of Batoum into a free port is a valuable guarantee for commercial inteiests which would otherwise be thieattued, Russia has successfully insisted on the reteutiou of her more important conquests in Armeuio. Lord daiisbury argues that this successful con quest will have a dangerous teudency and create a seuse of the instability of the Ottoman power throughout Seivia, Asia Minor and Mesopotamia. Iu plain words the Tunes says the czar would be giu to he recognised as the natural heir of the sultan. Lord Salisbury continues it is impossible for her majesty’* government to accept without making au effort to avert it, the effect such a state of feel ing would produce upon the regions whose polit ical condition deeply concerns ttie t bicutal inter est of 1 *ieat Britain This sentence, adds the Times, coutains the lurniDg poiut of the ministerial policy and upon the agreement or disagreement with the convic tion it expresses must depend the judgment of the couuuy upon the manuer now announced. It i* by uo Uicaui au easy question whether it will he woitb out while to umieitake a vad responsibility for the i urpo*e of excluding Russia hum Asia Miuor and the Euphiates valley. It must he de cided on a balance of routfictiug considerations, and of this haiauce the best pia< licable test is the settled opinion of the couutiy at large. But of that there cau be little doubt, and the inevitable conclusion is that if Russia should be allowed further oppot I unity to encroach upou the Ottoman power in Asia, we should feel it au im perative necessity to interfere, but this being the case, it is certainly common prudence to adopt at once measures which will render such encroach ments obviously impracticable. If we mean to stay the advance of Russia iu the end, we shall act with but common prudence in checking her at the outset. This cau only be done by guaranteeing on our own authority the integrity of the dominions of the saltan in Asia ac they are left by the treaty of Berlin.” 'I hough the auuounceoicut of the Anglo-Turk ish treaty was not unexpected, it created a pro found sensation. The Manchester Guardian’s London corres pondent says “The first impressions among the leading men are that the government will deem it necessary to appeal to the country. That the in cident will dazzle the constituencies, aud that the premier will uke advantage of that effect to re uew his lease of dice. The fact that Turkcv does not pait with her sovereignty over the Cyprus will reuder It more difficult for the oj position to challenge the policy ot the gov< foment. That it will be challenged iheie can be uo questiou though as yet there is no sign of a move me ut on front of the opposition bench. To make England responsible for the Turkish good behavior, is however so fraught with danger aud is such a reveisal ol our policy of non inter vention that we may count upou a severe struggle between the two gieat political parties which will itself afford justification for that dissolution which Lord Bcacoutheld to ardently desires.” Berlin, July 9. The congress in to-day’s set ting disposed ol several additional frontier ques tions of minor character aud arrived at a satisfac tory settlement relative to Batoum* The report is confirmed that the rasing of the fortifications ot Batoum has not been formally broached in the congress. It is stated that a special understanding will be en'ered iulo on this subject. iue question as to the fortifications on the land side wnl not be discussed, so iu that respect Rus sia will be uarestrained.

(Continued from Cut page.) '■My precious wile,” adding, “I write wife because, though only affianced, we are morally husband and wife,” This is not the gu.-h of young lovers who sav, “We are married in the sight of heaven." lie fore trials and separation have tested the endurance of their affection. The 1 mg years dragged by. Thirteen years had «1 ipsed since these 1 ivt rs be came engaged, and now they were ad vancing toward middle age, but their hearts, because they had been constant and true, retained sometbiug ol spring time Ireshness still. They looked forward hopefully to a happy reunion, and the time came sooner even than they were expecting. Calvin Fair banks did not have to serve out all of his sentence. In April, 1804, the Governor ot Kentucky, who Ike his immediate predecessors, had been deaf to p lilions for Fairbanks’ pardon, was summoned before President Line, In to answer some grave charges that were preferred against him, and during his absence the Lieuten ant-Governor acted as Governor. This gentlemen was friendly toward Fairbanks, had sometimes visited him in prison, and assureu mm that it lie ever became liov ernor he would pardon him. This prom ise he fulfilled, and on April lo, lKii-l, Fairbanks lelt prison a Iree man. He proceeded at once to Cincinnati, and want to the bouse ol Levi Collin. This viteran abolitionist hud tieeu his tirm liiend, and had olten sent him boxes of supplies while he Was in prison. ilere lie rested a day or or two, while interested Irieuds ministered to his need'; then, well clothed and supplied with money, ami feeling once more like a man among'l men, he made his way to Oxford, Ohio, where Miss Tileaton was then teaching. He intended to give her a happy surprise, but she had already received ail inliuiita lion of bis release. Her la't letter to him had been returned Iroin the Franklort prison, with a lew words on it, wiliten by the warden. The angels who are supposed to watch over ttie fortunes ot lovers, cer tainly never looked down on a happier meeting. The hopes and 1 ingings of years were real zed. Calvin Fairbanks and Miss Tiieslun were married at Oxford in June, and went on an extended wed ding tour, proceeding by wav ol the lakes to their homes in New York and Massa chusetts, and continuing on to Washington and Baltimore. A woman so fond and tailblul coni 1 not but till every relat ou ship of life with fidelity, and those who ki.ew her personally speak of her as a most excellent wile and mother.
