Descendants of _any_ of the Huguenot
families, in any part of this country, would confer a special favor by
transmitting to the author, through the care of the editor, any details,
family anecdotes, short biographic sketches, or other material suitable
for his history. It is especially desirable that some account should be
given of all those descendants of Huguenots who have in any way whatever
distinguished themselves in this country.

According to the report of the N.Y. Central Railroad it appears that the
average reduction of wages of the employes of that company, since the
beginning of the war, has been from $1.12 1/2 _per diem_ to 75 cents.
Taking increased taxation and the rise in prices into consideration, we
may assume that the working men of the North have lost fifty per cent.
of their usual gains.
So far as this is an honorable sacrifice for the war, it is good. But
how long is it to last? It will last until the _whole_ country shall
have lost a sneaking sympathy for the enemy and their institutions, and
until every man and woman shall cease to openly approve of those
principles which, as the secessionists truly maintain, constitute us
'two peoples.
