The information from the Army OF the
Potomac is that nothing of any importance
has occurred within the past three days.
The expected attack of the enemy on Mon
day did not take place, although from iudi-
cations it was believed the Rebels seriously
mcditated an assault. Scarcely ashot had
been heard along the lines for twenty four
hours.
A number of dcscrtcrs come in every day,
but bring no news.
Information received by the Government
up to noon to-day, makes it certain that
Sheridan has secured 5000 prisoners, and
that every hour more are being sent 10 the

day: "A slight ripple OF excitement was
produced here yesterday by the report that
II Yankee raiding party was advancing ON

of that place.
The result of all our inquiries on this
head is that this report originated in the
fact that early yesterday party of Yankee
raiders, whose numbers is not known, visit
ed Rapidan bridge--aitcr destroying it pro
ceeded to Liberty Mills, five or six miles
above, which they also destroyed. From
this latter place they are believed to have

THE EVENING NEWS.
SUPPLEMENT-
Charmed Rim1a.

It is related that Charlemagne loved
certain mistress so passionately that for
the enjoyment of her society, he totally
neglected his imperial duties. While the
Court was in a state of great uneasiness
at the strange vehemence of so disastrous
a passion the lady was taken i'll in the
city of Cologne, and shortly after, to the
great relief of his statesmen, she died.
Now comes the wonderful part of the re-
lation.) Death did not abate an iota OF
Charlemagne's ardent devotion, or break
the spell that bound him to her; tie body
being embalmed, he caused it to be dressed
and placed on couch; then, taking ms
seat by the senseless clay, he would IN
his infatuation appeal to it for comfort
and counsel. The venerable Bishop OF
the Cathedral of Cologne, who considered
a living beauty was preferable to the re-
mains of a departed one, rebuked his
sovereign for his wicked passion, and re.
yealed to him the important secret that
his love arose from charmed ring that
lay under the tongue of his mummy mis-
tress. Whereupon the Bishop, putting
his finger into the mouth of the embalmed
belle, distinctly felt the circlet under the
tongue, which he removed. When the
Emperor saw, as he now did, disenchsnt-
ed, the CHASTITY features that so long fasci-
mated him, he turned away in disgust,
and gave immediate orders for its inter-
ment. And now the poor Bishop, who
had pocketed the ring, found himself sore
ly annoyed by its possession; for the
monarch, still spell-bound to the owner
of it, became as afectlonate towards the
Bishop as he previously was to his mis-
tress. To be freed from these vexatious
caresses, the prosecuted ecclesiastic took
the ring to the environs of AK, and threw
it into a lake or marsh. A year or two
after, the Emperor happened to be at
tracted to the site of the submerged ring,
and found such attraction in the dismal
swamp" that here he determined to end
his days, and hither accordingly the
Court was transferred. First a noble
palace, next a fine cathedral, and then a
hourishing town, appeared in rapid sue
cession, and from that time to the present
Aix-la- Chappelle has ever been favorite
and fashionable place of resort, though
few are aware of the reason.
Some historian tells US that King Solo
mon was one day fastening to the river
Jordan to battle, and was accosted on the
bank by two lively ladies, who, entering
into conversation, soon inveigled him into
giving up his ring into their custody,
when (not caring that the monarch should
retain his wisdom, but the contrary one
of them threw it sportively into the
stream; and both soon had the satisfac-
ton of seeing that the loss of his signet
had rendered Solomon as foolish as them
selves. The glittering jewel, in the mean
time, was swallowed by a large fish,
whose intellect was so little improved by
the bait that he allowed himself, shortly
afterward, to be caught and taken to the
palace. The cook, on discovering the
ring as he cleaned the fish, brought it to
his royal master, who, replacing it on his
finger, recovered thereon full possession
of his wits and wisdom.

THE REMAINS OF VoLTAIRE AND RoUs-
sEAU.-The Paris correspondent of the
London Star says: Few can now believe
that Voltaire's remains are in the vaults
of the Pantheon, his tomb having been
found empty when it was, not many weeks
ago, opened by order of the Emperor
But it has been since discovered that
Rousseau's tomb was also violated in
1914. The history Of its violation, as
well as that Of Voltaire's, which took
place at the same time, is given in
French imitation of " Notes and Queries"
by NJ. Benjamin Duprat librarian to the
Institute, who quotes the Bibliophile ia
cob on this subject. Jacob, who was
man of undoubted veracity, declared pre-
vious to the investigation in the vaults of
the Pantheon to which I have referred,
that neither Voltaire's nor Rousseau's
bones were there, because, during the
reign of the clerical reaction in 1914, they
had been removed by night and thrown
into hole dug for the purpose of hiding
them, at Bercy. One night, in the month
of May, of the same year, the leaden cof-
fins in which the remains of both writer's
had been placed, were opened and their
contents thrown into sack, which was
conveyed to fiacre drawn up at the back
of the church. Six persons got into the
vehicle, two of whom were Christian Bro
theirs. At two in the morning they ar
rived at the Barriere de la Care, opposite
Bercy. There was then there a vast
space of waste ground enclosed with
planks. 1t had been originally intended
for the site of a large entrepot de rins.-
But this intention was never executed.
and the ground in question, although be-
longing to the municipality, was invaded
by the proprietors of guing,tetes and cd6a-
rets. In the midst yawned, on the May
morning of which I speak, deep ditch,
freshly dug. Around it were assembled
several persons, who awaited the facre in
which was the sack containing the re-
mains of Voltaire and Rousseau. The
six men who riAed the coffins got out of
the facre as soon as it reached the ditch,
in which there was bed of quicklime,
and threw the sack into it. They then
filled it up, and trampled down trium-
phantly the clay, and congratulated each
other on the loyal act and the Christian
duty they had just accomplished. The
priests who have since been enriched by
the visitors to Voltaire's and Rousseau's
tombs. may possibly have been in the
secret of this outrage, quite worthy of the
Inquisition.

GRuMBLBRs.-There is class of people
who can see no good in anything which
conflicts at all with their peculiar notions,
and whose ideas of right and wrong are
not measured by any moral standard, but
only by the number of dollars it puts into
their own pockets. The spirit Of old-fo-
gyism which chung to the mantles of our
forefathers has not entirely departed from
some of those to whom their garments
have descended. Although as a nation
we are fully up to the times, and follow
the lead of the bellwether" is most OF
the popular isn,s of the day, still there is
a certain class, whose numbers, fortunate
", are "growing small by degrees and
beautifully less" whose chief end and
aim is to find fault. The first great mis-
take was in bringing them into the world,
but when once here they show no dispo-
sition to amend, and 60 on making bad
matter worse. They seem as though
bound to find fault. 1t is either too hot
or too cold, too wet or too dry for them,
and so they continue from day to day,
finding fault at last with death for reliev-
ing the world of their presence.-N. YSun.

blockade of the Southern coast maintaieed
by the United States Navy is the most re-

great maritime nations of Europe are as

tremendous power of our navy, while our
own people are just beginning to realize
our strength and resources in this arm of
the service. The United States Govern
ment is now feeding thousands of the fe-
males and children left destitute by the
men who are up in arms against it. For
instance, food was distributed to the des-
titute in Norfolk and Portsmouth during
the six months ending with February,

and wood to the value of$3.66l 44-mak-
