The WOMEN OF RICHMoND.-It is no empty com
pliment to the women of Richmond, to say that
during the four years Of bloody and cruel war
that ragged within their hearing, and almost within
their sight, they never Responded, never faltered
in the performance of their duty; never allowed
the thought of ultimate failure to find place in
their minds; never murmured when called upon
to send those that were dearer to them than their
own lives, to recruit the exhausted ranks of our
more than decmated battalions never wearied
in bestowing the tenderest care the most untiring
watchfulness and nursing on the sick and wounded
in our crowded hospitals; never repined when
called upon to suffer privations Of every coneeiYa-
BILE kind never despaired when they had to follow
to the grave those they loved. When stout men
became respondent, and the sky of hope was, to
them, overcast with the dark clouds of probable
for them, and could see rift in the clouds through
which the bright light of hope was visible.
On that ever to be remembred night, preceding
the third of April, when their fathers and hus-
bands, and sons, and lovers were taking leave of
them for what might be an indefinite length of
time, possibly forever, they still spoke words of
hope and encouragement, and smiled their bless
ings in their eyes through their tears. Nor one
of them said - stay with me- ~ but each said (" go
to General Lee, though all seems go dark now
am certain there is bright future for Us yet. Do
not be depressed by anxious thoughts for me, can
take care of mysef.n
And when the armies surrendered, and those
that were left began to return they were received
by as warm hearts and with as bright smiles as if
they had have returned conquerors instead of
prisoners of war for the ladies knew that they had
done their duty to their country, and that honor
was preserved, though all else was lost.
Their devotion to the cause is not exhausted by
what they did during the war, and they now turn
to the army that lies around RichmondHthe army
of Confederate dead They find their graves sun
ken many of them unmarked and uncared for.
They determine that this state of things shall not
continue, and organize associations for the pur-
pose OF having these graves mounded and turfed,
marked, properly enclosed and cared for. II is a
work of considerable magnitude, but in their vo-
cabularly there is no such word as fall They
have enlisted the services of the gentlemen of the
city, and will push it forward to a successful con-
summation. The organization of these associa
tons has sent thrill of joy through the hearts of
the mothers and wives and daughters of the South
for they well know that the last resting places of
those whom they loved are not forgotten, and they
will not fail to invoke blessings on the heads Of
the noble women Of Richmond. They have our
warmest sympathy in their work, and shall have
our hearty cooperation in paying this tribute of
respect to our tal len heroes.-LExaminer.

Inc Florldlan OF the I'D says
On yesterday we learned from gentleman inst
from Quincy, that on Sunday night some six or
more armed negroes fired upon Mr.. Jesse Dickson
and several other gentlemen instantly killing the
former and woundmg several other persons that
were IN the street at the time. The negroes were
hred at but, it is believed, without doing them
injury. The cause of the disturbance was the
attempted arrest of negro of rather desperate
character, who had escaped from Jail month
previously. Mr. Dickson, the marshal of Quincy
ana deputy sheriff of Gadsden county, suddenly
meeting with him, ordered him to halt, which he
did not heed, but ran off, when Mr. d. fred several
shots with a revolver at him, none Of which took
effect, and he escaped.
| This was on Saturday night. Sunday night,
after the services of the church we're over party
of six or more negroes, who it seems, had been
| in search of Mr.. Dickson and were heard bv
several citizens threatening his life if they found
him, net him in the street, when the firing took
place as above stated, Mr.. Dickson was Shot in
| the forehead, the ball coming out of the temple
Two other ctizens-Mr. Frank Smith and Mr.
Grubb-were wounded more or less seriously nv
the fire of the mscreants.
The disturbance caused intense excitement and
a large number of citizens turned out and stood
guard the whole night
We learn that two Of the parties engaged in
this murderous attack have been arrested, hut the
person who fred the fatal shot is not one Of them
Mr. Dickson is represented as a gentleman who
was very much respected and beloved bv an who
knew him, and whose loss is deeply depfored bv

4 DETERMINEp AssAssN.-The man Blind, who
attempted the assassination of Count Bisnark
seems to have been man of uncommon deter.
minatiqn Of purpose. The Berlin correspondent
OF the London Times says that he not only made
the attempt in one Of the most freuuented
thoroughfares of the capital but fred the last four
shots while struggling with several persons who
were endeayoring to check him. He fired the frst
6al When the Count was directly in front of him.
Before he could discharge Lis revolver a second
time, tradesman of the name of Ella had caught
hold Of him. While trying to shake him off no
tired the second and third balls. Then Count Bis
mark threw himself upon him, holding down his
right arm. Blind took his pistol in his left hand,
pressedt against the cheek of his intended victim
and fired the fourth and fifth times. It seems,
however, that in the seufie the pistol was turned
aside, so that the balls only grazed the skin One
of the last two balls wounded journeyman book
binder who happened to be passing AT this mo-
ment a number of soldiers came up and disarmed
Blind who had still one ball left. He had not been
many hours in prison when, eluding the vigilance
of the constable sitting by his side, it Is said he
feigned to wipe the perspration from his face and
holding knife concealed in his pocket hapdker-

oudH--As everybody kr ows, it is stock idea
with cnticasters to assai the English language as
proved to be inferior to others because Of the
yarloFis pronunciations assigned in it to the com
bina'ion, "ough" Doubtless different forces are
gwen to others but no other has had such atten-
ITO attracted to it as this. From the Joke on the
aAecdotical Frenchman who is represented to
have complained of having "cow in his box"
when lie meant "coughin his chest, j." to that with
which Worcester illustrates the difficulties Of the
subject, it has been kept almost constantly before
the eye. The photographer inst named says,
The combination of the letters olgh at the end
OF words has no less than seven different sounds,
which are exhibited in the following lines,

As has already been remarked, there is no good
reason why the pronunciation Of the combination

vassed in every situation? If it be, we shall fnd
that instead Of seven sounds, it has full dozen, as
has been clearly shown. Nor is this anything 50
very extraordinary. Worcester gives to the sin.
gle letter "a" seven distinct sounds, without ref.
erence to combinations in which it is employed to
assist, such as lean, learn, beard, head agis
as1hetics, aisle, boat, board aye In view Of this
fact, what is there wonderful in combination Of
four letters, o-u-g-h, having even as many as
twelve different powers2
To reproduce what has already been said upon
this subject the proposition Of the last Of the lines
from Notes and Queries" that there appears to
be no reason for these different sounds, is based
on fallaoy which is continually leading scolista
into pathological error and has mised even some
