WAR STORIES. the Con-
federate prisoners at Point Lookout,
Maryland, there was a cocoanut-
headed, coal black little contraband,
who had fallen into the Federal army's
hands at Gettysburg. Upon being
told that he would be released if he
would take the oath, he swore he
wouldn't, and actually stuck it out.
The prisoners, for amusement,
drilled the little darkey into repeating
a number Of answers to number Of
odd questions, which brought master
contraband out one day in strong
relief, much to the general amuse-
ment, and much to our hero's own
astonishment at the effect his answer
produced.
One day the officer of the guard, a
new conner, finding "contraband"
among the other prisoners, the only
one Of his race there, said: "Why,
you black little rascal, what the devil
are you doing here, I should like to
know?' To which quoth Cuffee:
'1'se pris'ner war, sah." "Wen,
who are you, any how?" said the
officer. 'Contraband" got up, gave
him the military salute, and said:
'I'se de innersent cause OBJ dis un-
natural an fratisidal contestr'

Mr.. DAVIS FAMuY.-A Montreal


correspondence Of the LIE Canad;en
imparts the following paragraph:
The children of Jefferson Davis
have been for some time in Canada,
as is well known. The two boys are
just now in Chambly, and about to
enter Lennoxville College. The young
girl, nine years Of age. is pupil at
the convent of the Sacred Heart,
Sault-au-Recollects. Last Sabbath
several Southern refugees went to see
her. They brought with them the
Federal General Cochrane, whom they
introduced to the girl, telling her that
he was friend of the Southern cause,
although circumstances constrained
him to fight in the ranks of its ene-
mics. The child, looking to the
General, answered: II shall believe
that you are one of the friends of our
cause when you shall have obtained
the release Of father" The General
was deeply moved with this answer,
and promised the child to use all his
influence on behalf of Mr.. Jefferson
Davis.

SMUGGLNG.-A suit of clothes was
taken away from prominent gentle
man of this city the other day, for the
reason that they had been manufac-
tured i'll Canada, and brought to this
side to avoid the payment of duty.
We are also informed that agencies
have been esta ablished across the river
at Fort Erie and Windsor, opposite
Detroit, representing large houses in
Toronto and Hamilton, for the sale
of ready made clothing, and to take
orders for clothes to be furnished by
such houses. A very large traffic is
carried on along the entire frontier
in this kind of merchandise, and the
officers OF the customs will have to
keep a sharp lookout to protect the
Government and our own tailors
against these frauds--BTalo paper.

Lord Palmcrston.


The death of Lord Palmerston. at
the ripe age of eighty-one years,
though sudden and unlooked-for at
this time, can scarcely be regarded as
unexpected. On several occasions
within the past twelve months, VIC
have recorded instances of brief ILL.,
ness that indicated breaking up of
his remarkable physical powers. His
political career ranges through more
than half q century. Henry John
Temple, Viscount Palmerston, was
born at Broadiands, Hampshire, in
1854. He commenced his education
at Harrow, studied subsequently, men
tai philosophy under Dugal Stewart
at the University of Edinburg, and
finally graduated at st. Johns Col
lege, Cambridge. At the age Of
twenty-five, he represented the Bo-
rough of Bletchingly in the House Of
Commons, and the following year,
1907, was made junior Lord Of the
Admiralty under the administration
of the Duke of Portland. In 1909,
he succeeded Lord Castlereagh as
Secretary of War in the Percival
Cabinet, and from 1911 to 1881 rep
resented the University of Cambridge
in the House Of Commons. In 1922,
he attached himself to the Canning
administration, and was continued in
office by the Wellington Cabinet on
the death of Canning; but abandon
ing the Tory party in 1928, he retired
from office with Mr.. Huskisson and
others, and joined the opposition. In
1880, he was appointed Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs in the admi-
nistration of Earl Gray, was out of
Office between 1884 and 1885, during
Peers brief administration, but be-
came once more Foreign Secretary,
under Lord Melbourne, retaining that
Office until 1S41, when Sir Robert
Peel was again called to the head of
affairs. Five years later, he resumed
the Foreign Secretaryship under the
Russell administration; but was sub
sequently dismissed, having incurred
the displeasure of the Court while
strengthening himself with the Eng
lish people, by refusing to submit his
dispatches to ministers of foreign
courts to the revision and inspection
of Prince Albert. A little later, he
became Home Secretary in the Aber-
deen Cabinet, and in 1856 was called
upon to form the ministry which
came in towards the close of the Rus
sian war. Three years later, that
ministry was overthrown, on the
ground of deferring to the wishes of
the Emperor Napoleon, by bringing in
''the conspiracy murder bill" soon
after the Orsini attempt to assassinate
the French Emperor. The Derby
Cabinet followed, but was speedily set
aside, and in little more than a year
Lord Palmerston was again called to
the Premiership, which he held, with
constantly increasing popularity, from
1859 until the day of his death,

A New VERSION OF sENocH ARDEN

A New VERSION OF 'ENocH ARDEx.'
The st. Louis Republican relates
singular incident which lately oc-
CURED at Carondelet, Missouri. A
Mr.. G., four years ago, went away to
the wars with General Price, leaving
wife and two children. Hearing
nothing from her husband, the wo-
man, after time, yielded to the
sympathy and love of a neighbor, a
Mr.. Turner, and married him. Fresh
olive buds were added to the family
wreath, and everything went smooth
ly. On Monday last, however, the
original Mr.. G. entered the donicil
of the happy Mr.. and Mrs. Turner.
After the first surprise was over, the
three calmly seated themselves to
consider the anomalous position of
the parties towards each other. After
a full exposition of their sentiments
the two men started down the street,
leaving the lady of their desires to
make her decision uninfuenced by
either. When the two returned, the
lady announced that she had chosen
to cling to her last love. Mr.. G.,
though evidently disappointed, ac-
quiesced, only claiming his children
as blood of his blood. This claim
could not be controverted, and the
father and children quietly and sadly
bade adieu to the woman they had
known as vile and mother and de-
parted for the South

Farm Culture.

Farm Culture.
One of the most attractive pursuits
among the uany presented TO Gne
residents in the immediate vicinity of
Charleston, is that of farming, and it
is much to be hoped that it will meet
the early attention Of those who may
be III a condition to embark in it.
For years before the war it was sue
cessfully prosecuted, and contributed
much to the comfort of our people,
and much to the profit of those en-
gagged in it. It is equally important
now, and must be equally profitable.
Many of those who will come to the
South in search of fortune, Will prefer
employment near the town. It will
be more ready to their hand, and will
give them the protection of the city,
known to be healthy, from the sick
ness which is supposed to prevail in
summer through the rural districts.
From this cause there will be, doubt
less, labor in abundance and the
profits of such pursuits can scarcely
be questionable. The lands are easily
cultivated and exceedingly produc-
tive; the city affords an abundant
supply OF the best manure at little
more thar, the cost Of hauling the
seasons are long enough to admit a
succession of the crops. Roots and
rye in winter potatoes, beets, car
rots, spinach, lettuce, and the like, in
spring corn and grass in summer
can all be successfully cultivated in
succession. And, taking this into
consideration, it is doubtful if there
be lands on the seaboard North of the
coast of Georgia, where so much can
be produced to the acre.
Of these abundant products much
Will be required, and at remunerative
prices, by the city; but for the surplus
there is scarcely less profitable mar
ket at the North. The season here is
at least six weeks in advance of that
of New York, and for all early veget-
ables, therefore, and melons and
fruits, there is the certainty of ready
sale, and the equal certainty of fancy
prices in the Northern cities. To
these markets there is ready access
through the lines of steamers now es-
tabished. The facilities for transpor-
tation have never been so great as
they are now. These facilities are
still to be extended. To the lines al
ready established, other steamers are
to be added. Still another line is in
prospect to Baltimore, another still
to Boston, and whatever may be the
surplus products of our farms, there
fore, there is little question Of its
ready transportation to a profitable
market.
Such are the pecuniary considera-
tions in favor of the enterprise but
to those who have taste for horticul-
ture, there are few places where it can
be SO readily and pleasantly INDUCED.
The climate is pleasant, and admits
of an endless variety of products.
Vegetables, fruits and flowers flourish
as they seldom flourish elsewhere !;
and to persons Of means so liberal as
to permit the indulgence, there is in
ducement enough to the pursuit,
without consideration of the pecuni-
ary advantage to result from it.

SAvANNAH.-The Savannah Herald
reports that at no time in ten years
has there been greater commercial
activity in Savannah than prevails
now. The trade of the city is now on
a sound basis, the exchange of the
staple products of the State for green
backs and merchandise The trade
of almost every considerable southern
city is now very brisk.

We see nothing now to hinder the
renewal of the relations formerly ex-
listing in the Church.
We feel bound to acknowledge that
we have been greatly indebted to
many of the Bishops for the warm
fraternal feeling manifested by them,
and for their generous exposure of
themselves to censure because of their
efforts to promote peace AMI unity
nor ought we to withhold our convic-
ton that the great body of the House
of Deputies have deserved well of the
Church, because of the manliness with
which they have encountered reproach
and perhaps subjected themselves to
suffering in the cause of peace and
holy moderation.
In conclusion, we desire to record
our deep conviction and our reverent
acknowledgment that the results now
related are the doings not of man, but
OF God. Our profound gratitude Is
due to Him who, as we trust, in this
perilous juncture, has interposed eff
fectually to heal the divisions of the
Church, and to calm the passions
which threatened to rend it asunder.
