vain Glory.

Considering that the total force of LopeZs
expedition, as shown by the srmy roll pub
lished by the Cuban authorities, was but
three hundred and ninety -one officers and
men, all told, the world will be somewhat
surprised at the inordinate exultaion betray-
ed by the former at its destruction, and es-
pecially the grand expressions of the Cap
tain General in his proclamation praising
the valor tnd loyalty Of the Cubans who as
sisted his six or eight thousand troops TO win
the victory. "History," says Gen. Concha,
"does not present, perhaps, in its pages.
single example OF an invasion SO promptly
and SO completely suppressed" Here the
ptam. .Gancral does not speak with the ex-
act historical precision that might have been
| expected. There have been some equally
remarkable examples of invasion, to say the
least of them-perhaps great deal more
completely suppressed, the places and pc
RODS OF which were not SO far removed but
that they might have been heard of at Ha-
vana. Some persons will remember the last
invasion OF Mexico made by Spain--that of
Barradas, who in 1929. landed four thousand
troops (they were all from Havana) at Tam
pico. where, Santa Anna attacking them i'm
mediately with seven hundred men-Mexi-
cans too-destroyed and captured one fourth
of them at blow, and compelled the re-
mainder 10 capitulate in six weeks, only
about one-half of them living to get back
to Havana. Seven years later--in 1886
the conqueror of Barradas, the same Santa
Anna, led an invasion of ten thousand men
into Texas,--an invasion which, in short
time, was completely suppressed" in what
has always been deemed somewhat re-
markuble manner, by twelve hundred Tex
ans, who captured ''ihe butcher Of Goliad
and Alamo," with some six hundred Of his
followers, all red handed from the slaughter
of their countrymen, and yet spared him and
them-did not put single one Of them to
death in cold blooi The suppression of
the Lopez invasion will undoubt edly figure

Another ExneditiOn.

Ii is said that the death of Lopez has only
cooled the ardor of The friends Of C1ban
liberty and delayed for short time the con-
summation Of the revolutions; that military
men of acknowledged ability, who have
never had much confidence in Gen. Lopez,
will now assume the leadership. with very
different prospects of success. A cores
pondent of the N. Y. Tribune says that a
plan is on foot and rapidly approaching an
issue, TO land body of soma four or five
thousand men, fully armed and equipped,
on the island, which would give confidence
to the Creoles, and induce them to join the
army, thus rendering the revolution certain
and successful. This Fall will no doubt de-
velope the whole plan.

This, it will be remembered was while
Ohio was under territorial government and
more than year before the adoption of the
constitution. The road district must have
included large extent of territory, reaching
up the Ohio as far as the Little Scioto, up the
Big Scioto ten or twelve miles and down the
Ohio some three or four miles, and perhaps
farther, The tax was probably levied upon
personal property, and if uniform, shows the
relative wealth, at that time, of the differ
ent individuals.
How many Of these old pioneers have gone
to their long homes We are not certain that
more than two or three are now living. There
are few of whom we never heard before; Of
Others we have only a traditionary knowl-
edge; and there are Others who were still
living when we first cameto these parts and
with whom we were personally acquainted.
Most of them had been actors in many stir
ring scene of backwoods life, and many Of
these names will awaken recollections in the
minds of our older settlers which have long
lain dormant Some anecdote or incident
still fingers, in our traditionary lore, about
almost every name on the list. Who that
ever saw Davy, or rather Captain, Roop, with
his fearless, daredevil manner andspeech that
can ever forget him? Emanuel Traxler built
the first house in Portsmouth, down, neai
the eastend of the present bridge. An old
ford across the Scioto near town bears the
name of Craine's defeat, from Robert Craine
who ran keel boat on the Scioto and sunh
one at that place. One of the Quins was Q
school teacher. John Collins was long ar
associate judge in this county. Stephen
Smith kept the first. ferry at the old mouth
OF the Scioto. William Robey, left here
many years since, was pioneer in Illinois
for some time and then went to Texas, where
he is now living In the midst of game and in
arecent letter to an old friend, stated that he
killed more deerflast winter than he ever did
before in the same length Of time. David
Gharky, whom many Of our citizens knew
well died here better than year since, while
ON avisit to his children.
Many who were called the first settlers
came in shortly after this list was made out,
and like those whose names are recorded
| therein, are now no more. !. 6l VIZ

The FaiIure of Lopez.

The N. Y. Tribune SAYS that reliable infor-
nation renders it evident that the failure Of
the Cuban expedition was caused by the in
dividual in New Orleans who had agreed to
supply the Pampero with coal. In conse-
quence of the want Of fuel the Pampero in
stead of proceeding to Puerto Principe, the
point oil her original destination, was COM
PEELED to stop at Bahia Honda, where there
were but few disaffected Creoles.

A Violent Separation !

Cincinnati seems just now to be afflicted
with all the ills that flesh is heir to bnt be-
ing the Porkopolis, the meat city Of Aiueri-
ca, it Is nothing very wonderful after all,
Not long since woman named E, M. Nor.
rison, fair and bouncing widow, arrived in
that city and opened an ice cream saloon.
A few days since, Lieutenant in The U. S.
Army, named Frank Russell, became eRam-
ored of the beautiful widow, and was mar
ried in a singular manner by person who
had no authority to tie the knot. This the
couple soon found out, and Immediately
nghted the matter by calling upon bona
fde M. G.. The Lieutenant's friends, who
are probably of :he supper crust" and none
of the wisest, soon found out that he had
been enticed by the Vaccinations of certain
parties into matrimonial connection with
disreputable ice cream seller, and thereup-
on forced the Lieutenant from the fond EN-
braces of his wife into carriage in order 10
lodge him safely in one of hundreds Of
rooms in the Burnet House. But the wife
was not willing to part from her husband
SO easily, and followed closely the party, to
the carriage and endeavored to getin The
husbands friends showed her back, but a po-
lice officer appearing, and a friend Of the
wife standing at the horses heads with knife
open, threatening to cut the reins. if they
were started without the lady being in the
carriage, had the desired effect of securing
hera seat by the side Of her husband, when
off they drove to the Burnet House. AS the
two were ascending the steps Of the Hotel,
the husband was violently seized by his
friends and separated from his wife, she
screaming at an alarming rate and begging
the bystanders not 10 allow her to be de-
prived in that way Of the company Of her
husband, But the fates and strong arms
were too much for her, she had to return to
her Fourth street boarding house, while the
husband, went the Lord knows where.
The lady immediately brought a suit for
assault and battery agains: Mr.. J. R. john
son, who had hand in the forcible separa-
,tion of herself and her husband, and he was
bound over in the sum of $780, The lady
is handsome, has a bad reputation for virtue,
and is reported to hsse drugged the Lieut.
enant into a marriage. We rather guess the
Lieutenant was druggcd by some one else
probably from infancy.
