DEATH OF GENERAL PEMpERroS.-
From all accounts, the reported death
of General Pcmbcrton is correct. lie
was on his way to Montgomery Ala.
where a military court of enquiry to
inquire into tho causes attending tho
surrender of Vicksburg, was ordered
to be held. While. at Salem, Ala.
he was approached by an officer of
Texas regiment, who accused him of
of selling Vicksburg to General Grant.
This the rebel General denied; when,
after further conversation Gen. Penn
bcrton attempted to shoot the Texan,
who, however, before no had effected
his purpose, drew a revolver and shot
Pomherton, the wound producing al
most instant death. The information
comes from Greenwood, Mississippi,
where the report is generally credited.

Railway Ethics,

somewhere in the neighborhood of Cape
Cod; whats the justice into EN-?
What's the justice in cartin' sand off o
my farm to put into another mans
ma sh?-Cuttin round the country, rum
min over folks, KILN calls, heifers and
shoats-where's the justice in all thatl
And where's the 'commodation of EN-?

TO Res4n-,, 1 COULD tuUkle up my team in
the mornin' after good break, asst, and
set off when | got ready; now you've got
to go when the bell rings! They wouldn't
wait ten minutes for you. And when
you get to Boston you can't stop where
you want to-can't drive where you want
TO put up. What kind O 'commodation
is that? And jus SO when you're coming
home; got to go to particular place
afore you can start, and got to come
away when the bell rings ag'in! Good
deal o 'commodation in that, amt they?

erR Advocate:
Personally, we are fond of hearty
Amens in prayers and sermons. They
have an earnestness and information no
ways faulty Yet they are sometimes
strangely put in. The other evening at
the missionary ratification meeting in
New York, was speaking, and incident
ally observed he hoped to come to the
point of his speech Amen, cried a
good brother, causing burst of laugh
ter, in which the Bishop joined. Once
preacher was struggling in the brush for
half an hour At length he extricated
himself, and to one of his first appeals
came Amen The preacher looked
over his pulpit, and said in a low tone,
If you had said that half an hour ago,
1t would have helped me; now l can get
along without it But among the most
amusing instances was one which occur
red in the general oanfa-e..~vvvf 1890.
Nj. Smart, of Detroit Conference, an
anti-slavery man of the first water, ad-
dressed an expostulation to the border
delegates, desiring them to cease agita-
ton. We of the Northwest desired quiet
wanted repose-they should permit us
to go on with regular business, etc This
charging agitation home on staid conser-
vatism reused doughty little Dr. H., who
goes off like percussion cap Spring
ing to his feet, he said, Well, Mr. Presi-
dent, 1 think the border brethren had
better come forward for prayers Be-
fore he could finish, Smart looked up in
his face, and in serio-comic manner
said, in deep voice, Amen He was
willingl The burst of laughter was too
much for the adroit Doctor, who took his

FRIEND BoARDMAN received
your paper today OF the 22l, but not
seeing anything in it from the 1st Ohio
was somewhat disappointed, as had
already sent two comm unications since
the late battlO near Murfreesboro. The
first was a mere statement of the casual.
ties in Co. "H," to relieve the anxiety
of our friends at home, which you may
have received and published. but as the
mails are so uncertain of late, | oonclu
ded / had better write another. AS
for myself, I have not had letter frou
home since the 1st of the month, which
is the longest 1 have been withoutsince
| have been in the service
Perhaps the report that was killed
might have reached home, Gas IT was re.
ported at Nashville) therefore it would
be useless to be writing to dead man
which would be very good excuse.
But am not without news frou
home in some way, for l heard by way
of a letter to one Of my men to-day that
my family were all we'll on the goth
which was very cheerful news indeed
l believe | promised in my frst com
munication to write you soon again and
give you a more detailed account of tht
work of the lst Ohio before Murfrees.
