The Richmond Examiner Thinks
Grant Is Retreating and Lee
I s-Isnr.sriine.F siN- -i--a-->-s' 70 = -A-'''.--

New YORK, May 2S.-The Richmond
Examiner contends that it is Grant that is
OH the retreat and Lee pursuing. 1t says
Lee followed Grant from the Wilderness.
He is'ilow the last to move, and is the pur-
suer, not the pursued, from Spottsylvania.
1t is true that by both movements these
armies have been brought nearer to Rich
mond, but for Lee it was rendered necessa-
ry by the confguration of the soil and the
lines of these rivers, which he had resolved
to defend.

MISCELLANEOUS,
A Remarkable Vision.

Solicitor, residing in the Isle of Wight,
had business at Southampton He stayed at
one Of those hotels for which the town of
mail steamers is famous, and after dinner
he was looking over his law papers while
he slipped his port He was aroused from
his foolscap and red tape by the opening
of door: his wife (whom he had left at
home in the Isle of Wight entered, gazed
at him steadfastly, and passed out through
the opposite door. He naturally thought
that it was a hallucuation, and resumed
his reading, with wonderful smile at his
own weakness. But within quarter of an
hour, the very same thing occurred again ];
and there was on the eountenance of the

A Great Waterfall.

A detachment Of troops recently scout
ing in the Valley of the Snake, or Lewis
Fork of Columbia, discovered waterfall
which, it is said, is entitled to the distinc-
tion of being called the greatest in the
world. The entire volume of Snake Rv-
er pours over sheer precipice one hun
dred and ninety eight feet high, thirty
eight feet higher than Niagara. Snake
river is fully as large as the Niagara, and
the cascade is one solid sheet or body
The locality of this immense waterfall is
Great Soshgne or Salmon Falls of that riv-
er, but they have always been enveloped in
mystery Almost a dozen years ago the
writer passed along the Snake river road.
For two years we heard the roaring of these
falls, but learned no more respecting them
than if they had been in the moon. 1t was
said that there were series of falls and
rapids making decent of seven hundred
feet in seven miles, and the sound gave
color to the report. For hundreds of miles
across the great plain Snake river flows
though cannon, with vertical walls hun
dreds Of feet high. 1t is only at long In
tervaIs that salient points are found by
which tho river can be reached. The road
crosses from point to point OF the bends,
only approaching close to the river where
there is a chance to descend for water.

tens of thousand OF adventures that have

An Item which Every Man should Read.

We have probably, all of us, met with
instances in which word heedlessly spoken
against the reputation of female has been
magni6ed by malicious minds until the cloud
has become dark enough to overshaddow
her whole existence TO those who are
aecustomed-not necessarily from bad mo-
tlves, but from houghtlessness-to speak
lightly of females, we recommend these
hints as worthy OF consideration
'Never use ladys name in an improp-
er time, or in mixed company Never
make assertions about her that you feel she
herself would blush to hear When you
meet with men who GO not scruple to make
use of woman's name in a reckless and un-
princlpled manner, shun them, for they are
the worst members of the community-men
lost to every sense of honor, every feeling
OF humanity. Many a good and worthy
women's character has been ruined and her
heart broken by lie, manufactured by
some william, and repeated where it should
not have been, and in the presence of those
whose little judgment could not deter them
from circulating the foul and Dragging re-
port. A slander is soon propagated and
the smallest thing derogatory TO woman's
character will fly on the wings of the wind,
and magnify as its circulates until its mon
strous weight crushes the poor unconcio1s
victim. Respect the name Of woman, for
your mother and sisters are women; aud as
you would have their fair name untarnished,
and their brief lives unembittered by the
slanderers biting tongue, heed the i'll that
your own words may bring upon the mother,
the sister, or wife, or some other fellow
creature

fHB MINSTREL,
SHE sWEETLY SLEEPS.

She sleeps, sweety sleeps by the dark rolling river
Where wild grow the trees and the rocks tow'rng,
high;
No sound can awake her, for her spirit the Giver
Has taken away to the arms of her Maker.
BY the dark rolling river they laid her down to rest
And she sleeps sweety sleeps in the arms of her
Maker.
Around her low bed, where the soft moonbeams
playing,
The nightbird her requiem chants in wild lays
The stars look down brightly if they were saying
Here lies poor lost Ornee, the best of her race.
Blythe dark rolling river they laid her down to rest
And she sleeps sweety sleeps in the arms of her
Maker.
Tread lightly the ground where her kindred have
laid her,
Where DER her low tombstone her native trees waves
Disturb not the turfmound which affection has made
her,
For the spirit of Ornee shall watch DER her grave.
By the dark rollingrVer they laid her down to rest
And she sleeps, sweetly sleeps in the arms of her
Maker.

be- There is something peculiarly beau
tiful and soothing in the manner in which
the silent processes of the mind are brought
into action when we are reading attentive
ly. We must of necessity derive some
benefit What can be more benifcial than
improving the vigor and sensiblity of the
mind, expanding the reasoning faculties,
strengthening the judgment, facilitating
the utterance of ideas? Are these benefits
more easily attained than by careful
course of good reading?
In books, as well as with men, we may
confer with genius and learning. But
books have an advantage over men. in that
they enable one to contemplate at leisure
the flushed productions of mature rehec-
tion, whilst many of US are not endowed
with memory sufficiently capable of re-
tanning the exact words of the speaker.
Moreover, a person is seldom enabled to
speak at once SO much to the purpose, as
he would write after consideration.

A Singular Restoration Of Speech-
About four months ago a soldier by the
name of Geo. Lucas, who belonged to the
18th Virginia Infantry, and who resides in
Harrison county, was attacked with vio-
lent fever, which it was thought would
result in his death. The soldier, however,
partially recovered, but with the loss of
all power of speech. He had not spoken
word for more than three months until
one day few weeks ago, he was coming
west on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
in company with relative who had gone
to fetch him home Near Grafton the cars
ran off the track with great shock Lu-
cas- jumped out of car window upon the
ground, and as he did so he yelled Justify
to his relative to look out for the baggage.
Since that time Lucas has been able; to the
surprise of all his friends. to speak as well
as ever Wheeling MteIigencer.

menced his illusions, which were wondered
at with eyes and mouth wide open by our
rustic pair-he occasionally calculating in
pretty loud tones Thunder while she
would exclaim, Mercy, amt it queer ?
Feat after feat was presented, and re
ceivGd with the plaudits of the audience,
until the introduction of the 'Aeriel Bell
a glass bell suspended by simple cord
from the centre Of the ceiling, and used in
answering questions. After the usual per-
formance with it, the question was asked
Is anybody in the house in love, who
wishes to get married !?
Yes
Pray tell what part of the house they
are in ?

rustics, who sat looking at one another,
as a pair of doves, apparently oblivious in
their own happiness, to all surroundings.

During these questions and answers,
our rustic had been gradually opening
himself out like jack knife, and now at
tanned his full attitude; when pulling up
his shirt collar, and stirring up his crop of
flax colored hair, he exclaimed, breathless
with joy and excitement:
Say, say, you mister! jest ak that thing
if Nancy Jane and me is to be spliced TO-
gether, and if he says yes, I'll give you
the best horse in Butler county, and call
our first boy after you
Shouts, yells and peals of laughter fol-
lowed this announcement, aud Nancy Jane,
suffused with bushes, pulled his coat tail,
and begging him in her most entreating
manner:
Now, do, Ike, please sit down, wont
you, now?'
Ike, however, too much elated with bis
success, and unmindtul of all around,
stretching his body as far as possible over
the balustrade, and in a voice audible in
every corner OF the house, cried out:
Dod rot it, mister, do get that thing
to say yes, and dog my cats and buttons if
| don't call all my babies, boys and girls,
after you, and lick anybody that says grass
to you, to boot
You can readily imagine the entertain
ment was short that night, and when over,
the happy couple were made still happier,
as the minister made them one for life, in
the presence of Robert Heller.
