CHANGED HIS MIND.-A gentleman
passed through Louisville few days ago,
on his way to Northern city, TO settle up
an old ante. war debt of his fathers, and,
if possible, to purchase new stock Of goods
on time. BE found the merchant indis-
posed, and called upon him at his residence,
and while there bis attention was attracted
by rather peculiar shaped chair, which
he recognized as belonging to his mother,
and which had disappeared from bis fathers
house during Johnston's campaign in North
Georgia; q second glance discovered his
siater's piano, and a third . handsomely
painted oil portrait of himself. he asked
the merchant how they came into bis pos
session, and received answers that he knew
to be false. He then stated that bis father
who fell fighting for the Confederacy, en-.
joined upon him the duty Of satisfying all
just claims against his estate, and that he
had called upon him for that purpose, not
being aware that he Ghe merahant) held
bis fathers household furniture as collateral
security for the debt, and remarked that
there were number Of portraits and some
valuable plate taken from his fathers house
at the same time, and enquired if be had
secured enough to satisfy his claim when
the articles just discovered disappeared.
The merchant stormed and threatened at
first, but when he compared the portrait
with the original, he concluded to change
his tactics, and claimed that the goods were
legally spoils of war. Our friend, not see
ing it in the same light, concluded the debt
was satisfied and brought his money back
to Louisville and bought stock Of goods
for cash.-Erchange -. ...-

SOUTHERN HISTORY THE New York
Neacs contains some advance pages from the
history of The Lost Cause by Mr.. =. A.
Pollard, which are not likely TO excite any
additional interest in behalf Of the volume,
now soon to appear. Mi. Stephens Is dsnoun-
ced as an elaborate demagogue,' exacting,
couceited, without consistency, or courage.
President Davis is referred to as weak and
bombastic' in bis addresses, as blinded BY
his natural temper of "a powerful selfcon-
ceit,' and with the s6llet of vanity upon his
eyes, In the account of the evacuation of
Richmond, the whole conAagration IS char
ged to the Confederate military authorities,
no allowance being made for the houses fired
by the thieves,-and it is spoken Of as
Sitting souvenir Of the imprudencs and
recklessness of the departing administration
If this is the key. note to the book, Mr.. d.
Wis could not ask a more unfriendly histo-
rian.
In the description of the scenes Of the
evacuation, which is written graphically
and spirtedly, the then President Of the
City Council, very worthy and excellent
citizen, is named apparently oDlytobe sneer:

Sanders while Mr.. Mayo is introduced as
