- A CoMBUsTlBLE MUD.-At recent
meeting of tho Asiatic Society of Ben
gal, Major Risley described a COM
bustible mud of which he first heard
last September. 1t exists in large
tracts, notably in the Pertobghur dis
trict in Dude, where there is a jheel or
swamp of black mud which looks
like ashes and shoulders like wood
The mud, when dried, blazes quite
freely. 1t has been tried at Cawnpo
by Mr. Taylor, the locomotive fore.
man, end was found to give nearly
as much steam as wood. /" 1t would
do worry well for locomotives, and
could be supplied at six annas the
. maund." When charred it can be used
in blacksmith's furnace. The ashes,
OF which it leaves great deal, will
(they say be very useful as a manure
tor poor sandy soils. Bits of bone and
fragments of decayed wood were found
in it at considerable depths. The
Calcutta analyzers cali it impure peat,
resulting from tho continual de>
composition of vegetable matter at
the bottom of the marsh. 1t is curl.
Gus that the natives, though we'll
aware 6fproperties, make no use oft
the reason being that it owes it's or.

people in old time.

In these times, when so much de-
rends upon the decision of character
of our President, such anecdotes as
the following are very encouraging !:
The day before the execution Of the
assassins there was a great zeal of
discussion in this city about the proba..
BILE repreve of Mrs. Suratt. A com
pany of gentleman were at the Astor
House, most of whom agreed that the
woman would not be executed, some
assigning the reason that the President
would not have pluck enough to brave
public sentiment, and allow woman
to be hung. A, we'll known merchant
of New York who was present coolly
remarked, ga man who talks about
Andy Johnson's want of pluck evi.
IDENTIFY don't know the man. If
Andy Johnson has signed the death
warrant of Mrs. Suratt she will die.
If he had intended to have reprieved
her, he would have signed it," He
added Let me tell you what know.
I was shut up in Nashville when the
city was surrounded by twenty thou
sand rebel troops, who demanded it's
surrender. Gen. Buell. was in the city
in command of ten thousand men.
Ho determined on the surrender of
the city to the rebel forces. He came
to Gov. Johnson and announced that
he could not defend the city, and
that Nashville must be surrendered.
The Governor heard him quietly
through, and then replied ; You are
in command of the United States
troops, and can do as You please with
them. But two of the regiments be.
long to the State of Tennessee. Over
those l have control. In the center
of the city is powder magazine; l
have trenches dug connecting the
magazine with every prominent build
ing in Nashville, and trains are laid.
Now you march out with your troops.
Til defend the city with my two reg
iments as long as can. When l can
do no more, will fire the city and
blow it to the heavens, for Nashville
shall never be surrendered while | am
alive Buell. did not march out, and
Nashville was not surrendered "What
1 tell you," said the merchant, 81
heard. But the moral grandeur and
heroism of these utterances cannot be
told, And that" quietly remarked
the merchant, "is Andy johnson, and
30 all will find him who have to do
with him."

John Catron, who died in Nashville Tuesday
night. was, with one exception, the oldest asso
ciate Justice of the supreme court Of the United
States He wa appointed to that Office by An
drhw Jackson on the 4th of March, 1887. He
was, we believe, q native OF Pennsylvania, and at
the time of his death was nearly eighty years of
age In 1916 he removed to the west. His early
life was one of many struggles, but, endowed
with fine talent, and possessed of strong will, he
overcame all obstacles and made his way to dis
tinction in his profession. About the year 1895
the Tennessee legislature elected him chief justice
of that state, winch position, however, he held
only few years. Judge Catron was presiding
Justice of the district court in this district for
long time. In 1851 he made bis way through
the military lines to come to this city to hold
court, having been forced to leave Nashville by
the hostile demonstrations of the secessonists,
whom he opposed with all the vigor and 6rnness
of his character. His property was sequestrated
by the confederate authorities he being regarded
as alien enemy; but the capture of Nashville
restored it and gave him back his home. He was
an upright and contentious man and just Judge,
never shrinking from what he deemed his duty.
For twenty-seven years he did not miss term of
the supre ne court at Wash Agton. We IN that
the death of Judge Catron SIilbe brought before
a meeting of the bar of the district court to-mor-
