For the & M. Household.
Grandma has Come!
My dear children, grandchildren, and
friends of the Household. I reallv
thought that I had tflken tny final leave
of you all. and would drop out of the
Household like a withered leaf; hut you
do iit forget your rrandma," and it
would seem almost unkind t refuse the
many calls that have heen made for my
return. I therefore come, with loving
rrcetinr to each one ol you, beginnins
with my brown-eed "Km Uroiderie.
whose sweet face is a fair index to the
beautiful soul within. And next t onies
my noble, true-hearted "Cecil," whose
exquisite poems have so truly touched
and -thrilled my Southern heart. Then
here are "Anita," "Charleston," "L.
H-," "Judith." "Lucille," (how are
f e turkeys, dear?) and "Kathleen."
Ah! Kathleen Mivourneen, I must
scold vou my child ! Was it not most
undutiful in vou to come within reach of
your grandma's house, and not to look
in to see if your venerable relative was
laid up with what my dear Cecil calls
"that pesky rheumatism." It is pos
sible though that you might have found
me swinging in the grove with my little
ek-ven year old friend Charlotte, or
climbing the rocks on a moss-hunt,
both of which are favorite amuements
of mine in the intervals of "rheumatic"
twinsres.
"N. L. II.' my deal, I began a letter
to you once, in reply to your question
"do you not understand?'' for it touch
ed a tender and sacred chord in my
heart, and I could not answer through
the columns of a newspaper. Hut I re
membered all at once that I do not
know 3'our name, tho you seem both
near and dear to me. And now yru
must let me sit down an-' rest, while
3-ou come one at a time and clasp your
grandma s hand, and tell her what vou
have done thifr summer for tho good of
others, and for the crowth of your own
hearts and souls ? One of vou suggest
ed that we should talk of our reading.
and-Kathleen" tells as how she enjoys
Mr. Roe's novels which are indeed
most excellent (I wish all "novels
were as good.) Well. I have jut read
a book that I wonder had not fallen in
to my hands long ago, it has so
thoroughly pleased me It is Carlyle's
"Heroes, and Hero-worship. I re
marked as I returned the book to it
owner, "what a grand old man Carlyle
himself must have been" to which my
frien I replied, "but he was not, he was
ciamVd. and disagreeable." ell.
then, J say now, he most have had a
diseased liver, for with such an intense
hatred of all that is false or mean, and
such a thorough appreciation of all that
it noble, good, and true, surely his mind
and his heart were "all right." but.
some oue says, "his wife made him."'
Well, as "N. L. H." once remarked,
"he wis an intellectual giant," what
ever with, or without his wife. I think
there are some men who will be great
in spite of their vires. Tho a "perfect
woman nobly plauned "is God's best
gilt, and not half so rare as the perfect
man! And when a woman i a trre
help-meet, and "stimulant" to her hus
band, there is no telling towha; heights
he may reach if he has within him the
soul of one of Carlyle's heroes ! I think
if 1 were to write a book, I would take
for my subject "Heroiueism. and true
womanhood." Rut neitiier as Divini
ties. Prophets. Poets, nor scholars.
would my heroines play their part, but

genuine "iiero-worsinp ungm giow to
their heart's conteut, and their lives,
fragrant with love, and geutle deeds,
prove the needed stimulant to the great
ness of their chosen "Heroes." But I
have talked enough, my dears, for this
tine. Maybe I will come again if vou
all want to see me very much. Good

It is significant of humau nature
that a newspaper offends almost as

For the funuer aul Me hinl-.
Blown-up by their Own Blunder-Buss!
What has been the etiW t of emanci
pation on th manu'hcturlng industries
of the North? Before the war. tin-
South wa almost exclusively engaged
in agriculfure. We raised the raw pro
ducts ; sent them North, where they
were manufactured ; then we brought
them back, payiug a greatly euhanced
price, and brought them South, paying
freight both ways. Now we see month
ly, perhaps weekly, new lactones rising
up at the South: With our yarns and
our cloths, we are underselling and suc
cessfully competing with Northern fab
rics, even iu foreign markets. Ami the
same is true of iron and steel. We are
making and selling to the North an im
mense quantity of cotton seed oil.
which they find better than the bogus
olive oil, which they have been hereto
fore using; and I predicted that within
ten years, at farthest, we shall seli them
in value, more of this, than we will buy
of their pork and lard. They are semi
ing us to our summer and winter resorts
on the mountains, and plains of the
South hundreds of visitors, where before
the war they seat their tens ; to spend
their mouey with us. And Oh Infan
tum hlrum ! ! Providence has carried
back to Massachusetts the man whom
they sent South to subjugate, to de
grade, and plunder our people, ami
whom they applauded as long as he
was engaged in this barbarian work, to
rule over the pious people of that para
gon of holy States. Butler at the South
was a very proper man. Butler in
Massachusetts is a very devil. Here
let me entreat the people of that Stale
to give alP tho &upiort they can to old
Ben I mean1 the majority of the work
ing people. If I am not mistaken he
is enfranchising them from a bondage
worse than African slavery ever was.
As Octavius, by a better life, atoned
for. and wiped out past misdeeds, under
his new name of Augustus, so I hope
Butler, at the North, under not the new
but revived name of Democrat, will
atone for his sins at the South with the
name of Republican. I hope and be
lieve he is preparing, by means of a
graduated income tax, to lighten the
barrels of millionaires now filled with
gold wrung from the sweat of labor
ing men, women and children, and from
dishonest robbery from the public purse.
Now let me present for the considera
tion of Northern laborers engaged in
manufacturing a siugle idea, for which I
bespeak a serious and thoughtful pon
dering. ThejT have been persuaded by
selfish, artful men that a protective
tarilf has ben made mainly hi their be
half. But I beg them to look into the
matter and see how each workman's
weal is affected by it. Take the cotton
mill hand. Say his product is protected
to the extent of twenty-five per cent.
That is that the goods he makes are
sold by means of this tarilf for th.it
much more than they would otherwise
bring (whether tins addition of twenty-1
live per cent goes into Ins own pocket.
or iuto the pocket of the boss, he know
and feels better than 1 can tell him) bid
admitting for arguments sake it goes in
to his ow n pocket, he is largely a loser
by it. For evcy twenty-the cents the
tariff bonus gives him he has to pav out
at leasi twenty-five dollars. I beg him
to figure it out for himself. L t him set
down in the credit column this twenty
five cents bonus on his earnings, and li
the debit column twenty-live cents on
each dollar of his spendings. which he
has to pay for other people's prott ction.
w hat he now ha to pay for hi sugar.
whisKey, tobacco, clothing, i on ware,
tinware, crockery, and the hundred oth
er things which be buys, more than he
would have to pay were these things
untaxed. Let him make for himself
this calculation, and if he does not find
that protection is about his worst ene
my, let him fet me down with Billy
Rottoni as an ass, I say nothing about
the fact that protection has raised, and
is every day raising up fresh competi
tors in his line of work at the South.
Let the Northern employees think for a
moment how dilfereutlv the boss is af
fected by protection. Take a factory ii
which 500 hands work. The ho gets
a bonus of twenty-five per cent on the
products of their labor. Yet he has to
buy necessaries, on which I e pays the
protective tax, for only oue family his
own. I have no doubt there is many a
single factory hand who pays tax on as
much tobacco, sugar, and whiskey, a.
his boss does j and only one ih e-hun-dredth
part of the protective bonus falls
to his share. So that with the frogs in
the table the factory hands may well
say to the boss "protection may lie fun
for you, but it is death to us." Let me
beg of you, Mr. Lditor, to scatter a hun-f
tired copies of your paper containing
this article among the people of manu
facturing States, where you may thiuk
it will do most good, and if you will no
tify me that you cannot afford the cost.
I will pay it.
Writiug with full head and enfeebled

slaves having multiplied eo that he had
not sufficient land to work them on, he
purchased other land for w hich he gave
his bonds (I Jo not now remember to
what sum these amounted). They were
deposited in bank for collection, ami
some of his lriends, lindmg out thai
from bad crop years, oi the 1w price ot

Mr. C. to perhaps much inconvenience,
went to the bank, ajid pid them off.
Mr. C. in stieaking of the mutter to Mr.
Venable. told him that uo circumstance

or had so humiliated him that he knew
this had been done by his best friends

North. One of them. A. B. Little, on
getting back to New Hampshire, wrote
and had published in a Concord paper
several articles in w hich he described
slavery as he I ad ne h it. In these he
rc prescnti d the condition of the slaves
to be preferable to that of thousands of
Northern whites. John 1'. Hale, find
ing that these articles were making con
siderable impression on Northern minds,
attacked Little from the stump. Little,
although utterly unaccustomed to pub
lic speaking, faced him like a true man.
as he w as. and told the people, that he
had told nothing but what he. had seen
with his own eyes. Another of them.
Warren Putnam Adams, when he took
leave with tears in his eyes, said to me.
"if you ever go North, enquire for men
named Barstow. his mother's ivune.
and any man with that name, to whom
you may .give your name, wilj reudor to

not see 5 I'liion soldier during the tear;
although man' of them were at my
nearest neighbors, and on my own plan

my tenants, and some of them in search
of milk, butter, fowls, fresh ment, and

confined to camp fare, were advised to

they would be sine to find such things.
I lost r.oPnng by their pillage but one

Tne Strange Story of a Stroke of
Lightning.
Some time ao the Beffalo, N. Y ,
Courier published the followiug stiaoge
story :
In 1853. the story is. Miss Marj Place,
now Mrs. Nesmith, of Charleston, 8. C,
was a member of a Lockport, N. V.,
church choir. One Suudav an electric
bolt entered the church, and proceeding
din ctly to the choir annihilated one ot
thesiuger. Mr. Crocker, stunned several
others, and knocked Miss Place seuseless.
Wheu she iccoveied she was unable to
exo'ain the disaipearance of a cold
ct'aio. three feet long, which she had
111
! won, to church that luoimng
iv iihysi-
riu, wiiu has been examimug a long and
tiaiK w proturbermici; uj on her left arm.
n vv dt ctares that it is nothing more uoi
less thau the chain which the electricity
must have driven into her person. It
.vas a remaikably clever performance, for
ilie sl;iu was not broken aud he chain is
trot id as in w.
No information could be ob.aiued in
C'hai 'eston ab oit the- persons named in
i he nairative. but at the truest of the
AYir and Ciurirr the fiustiaud of the
injmed lady, who now lives at Indian
town, William -bur county has seut the
following account of the matter. He
says :
"The piece in the Buffalo paper i? an
exag: cration of the facts. In May, 1853
the church at Lockport, N. V., was
struck by lightning. Mr. Crocker, a
member of the choir, was killed outfight.
Mrs. Xesmith was the unly other person
setiously injured by the stroke. She
wore a locket aud chain, but the chain
was not driven into her arm "without
breaking her skin,' as stated, for she was
severely burned and a considerable time
elapsed before all the burns healed. The
largest bum was made at the point of
her body where the locket was worn.
Roth the locket and hain disappeared at
the time of the stroke and only a few
links of the latter could be found-
enough to make a ring. Mrs. Xesmith
suffered so much with her side, info
wh'ch the melted locket had been driven,
that in the winter of 1859 60 it was
burned out with caustic by Dr N R Chase,
jseveral years after a hard, irregular
lump worked up near the surface of the
skin on the outer side of her elbow,
which, it was concluded, was a piece of
the melted chain, and later three more
pieces made their appearance on the in
side of the arm near together among or
over the large veins. One of there
pieces is quire promiueut, nearly as much
so as woutd be a common wart. Mrs Ne
smith expeots to have some of the-e
pieces cut out of her arm in a few days.
