GEN. HoUsroN. = The Columbia, Tenn, Observer
relates the following scene, connected with the
markabe history of this man
When Gen. Houston abdicated the Office of Gov
ernor of this State he left his home eschewed civilized
life, and sought new home and a new wife among
the Indians in the Far West where he lived for
years. On his return to Nashville, there was none
perhaps only one person-who treated him otherwise
than with neglect or contempt, low had the wheel
of fortune rather dissolute life turned him. He
was now in an Indian costume-at least he wore the
cap, hunting shirt and moccasins. This his
second love.
Stung, doubt, with modification for this cold
neglect of some and open contempt of others, he bore
himself with equal Indifference towards the commu-
nifty in which he had lived high in office. And
when about to leave Nashville, with object that
then unthought Of or esteemed visionary, but which
full of consequence, he passed along the street
the landing, bearing rifle his shoulder, unheeding
as he was hOnored except by the curiosity of the
multitude. Taking his position upon the deck of the
boat which about to convey him from the field of
shame to of glory, at least in the eyes of the
mass he rested his rife upon the deck, locked his
arms, and leaned his tall and elegant figure against
the pilot house to await the departure of the boat
At this strange proud being, the curiosity of the
crowd that had assembled at the landing changed to
admiration and the boat rounded off, three cheers
for Houston given but mute and motionless he
returned neither look nor nod. Another round fol-
lowed, but his face turned to the 50 Halls of
the Montezumas, and his back to the city in which
he was yet be hailed the hero of San Jacinto"

A ROMANTIC INCIDENT. "A French newspaper
published at Lyons, relates the following romantic
anecdote:
A few nights ago when the wind blew with great
violence at Lyons, gentleman who was walking on
one of the wharves, wrapped In large cloak, and
philosophicaly smoking cigar, heard at little dis
lance piercing cry, and the noise of heavy body
falling into the Rhone. 1t in tie dead of night.
The swollen river roared with fury The night was
dark, and the wharf desoate. Without thought of
danger, and only following the impulse of generous
heart, he threw himself into the He struggled
for long time against fearful perils, and finally
regained the shore after he had been carried

convey her at this hour. To whom should he cOn6de

But he must decide immedIately-and concluded TO
transport her to his own lodgings, which were not
far off. The fire, which two hours previous had
gowed before convivial party burned brightly still.
His scrupes of delicacy at such moment were over

young lady slightly tinged with the rose. She

the quays and while passing along the rivers bank,
her foot had unfortunately slipped, and she had fallen
into the river. A fortnight afterwards, the newspa-
pers announced the marriage of NJ Edouard, one of
the editors of the La Rhone, with Madame Adela
Derigny, young widow of Frankfort, whose fortune
was estimated at q million sterling.

Mss Observation-Disclosures Washington, wife Of
General George Washington, was born in Virginia,
in the same year with her husband, in 1882 accord
ing to Weems and probably he knew as well as any
of Washington's biographers. She was the widow
Gusts when she married COL Washington, in 1853.
She is mentioned by Ramsay, Marshall, Bancroft and
Weems, as wealthy and beautiful, one to whom
Washington had long been attached--but neither of
them give her maiden name and all but Weems for

that her maiden name was cambridge.
