THE LAST VOLLEY.

Col. John 5. Mosby visited Leesburg last
Monday on professional business. Because
lac happened TO wear a cape in these piping
times of peace which had on il several brass
buttons with the coat Of arms Of Massachu-
sets on them, the Federal Captain in com
mand there declared his purpose to arrest
him and cut them Off Being unwilling to
submit 10 this treatment but disposed TO do
any thing in reason 10 avoid breach Of the
peace, the Colonel at the suggestion of
friend consented 20 leave the burg. The
Captain with four troopers and sixty infantry
ondcavored 10 intercept his retreat, but was
two late by several moments 10 effect his
object. When the Colonel rode upon the
crest Of hill, he looked back and saw the
doughty warriors make n furious bayonet
charge upon hay-stack which had served
10 conceal him from their view when he
made his exit. The spectacle was SO ludi-
crous he could not repress an inclination 10
whoop. He did so, and at the same time
raising his hat, he waved parting adieu.
The irate Captain acknowledged the COM
pliment 10y ordering a leaden yolley from
sixty guns 10 be fired at the Colonel. The
bullets whiStled closely but barmlessly past
him and made music which reminded him
of by'gone years Of strife.
We believe the Massachusetts button is
the symbol of treason, and are somewhat
surprised that the Colonel was ~ disloyal
as 10 retain one on his cape at the risk Of
liberty and life H'dTeRtoR Td.) Iadcr,

The LINCOLN FUNERAL CAR.-The
Times Washington special SAYS: The Sec
rotary of War has announced that he would
not confirm the sale of the magnificent car
that bore the remains of Mr.. Lincoln from
this city to their final resting place in IL
linois.
The sale took place last Thursday, at Alex
andria, when the Quartermaster General, in
pursuance of an order from the War De
plrtmenL offered at auction a lot OF Govern
ment property, in which the car was in
cluded. The car cost the Government
something over $4,000, and was rlanufac-
tured by the Military Railroad Corps, 70 be
used by Mr.. Lincoln when he should have
occasion to travel BY railroad.
Mr. Lamon, a steadfast friend Of Mr., Lin-
coin, purchased it, 10 prevent other bidders
from getting possession of it for exhibition,
and he comedies with Mr.. Stanton. who
thinks the Government should hold the
relic and place it among the rebellion ar
ohives in the late Fords Theatre.

CHOLERA SENSATION-A SENSIBLE
SUGGESTION.
From the Hartford Times

From the Hartford Times.l
The writer remembers well the cholera
Of 1882, and the unnecessary alarm into
which the people of this city were thrown
when the cholera was announced in New
York. Many were frightened nearly out of
their wits, and made themselves sick, or
imagined themselves so, by sudden change
of diet. it was said that vegetables must
not be eaten-that fresh meats were danger
ous-that this or that must be discarded
from the family table-and hundred more
ridiculous "musts" and mustn'ts" per-
vaded the community. Sensible people
paid little attention TO the gossip, and kept
regularly to their usual food and habits.
Green cucumbers were especially de-
nOunced as of the most dangerous tendency,
but they had not been regularly on the
table where the writer then lived, and the
head of the family forbid the exclusion of
| that or any other article of food which had
been common to the table, with the remark
| that, with temperance, cleanliness and
| firm reliance on Providence" he was will
| ling his family should take the chances with
any disease; and through the entire season,
when cholera was taking off its victims in
New York by the hundred per day, there
was not permitted any change in the dietary
habits of the family, and there was no sick
ness in it, perhaps because there was no
fear. There were not many cases in New
Haven, even when at its worst in New
York. The first person who died of chol
era in New York in that year was Mr..
Sutton, of this city, who had gone down
there on business. Singularly enough, his
wife's father and mother, who were living
on Grand street in this city, died soon after,
and for some days travel was not permitted
by the house. During all this alarm and
death many business men kept up their
visits to New York, and we believe that
Mr.. Sutton was the only resident of this city
who died under such circumstances.
Let every housekeeper look to the clean
illness of his premises. See that no decay
ing substances are left about the cellar, the
house or yards; eat and drink temperately,
and keep about his regular business, and he
will have done all in his pow err against the
approach of cholera.

4 FREAK OF LovE.-George Moore, a

old man came TO her house early yesterday
morning and demanded his son, at the same
time threatening her with the powerful arm
OF the law. lie also accused her of putting
three husbands under the ground already,

TEXAS Rejects THE AMENDMENT.-The
Texas Legislature, through the action of

respectfully returned to the Government
the constitutional amendment, declining
its further consideration. The ground as
signed is thus expressed in the report:
Article thirteen, sections one and two,
have the honor to report as follows:
The people of Texas, in convention as
senblcd, have already by their ordinance
acknowledged the supremacy of the Con-
stitution Of the United States; in which
Constitution the above named article thir-
teen is embraced rs part of the same the
courts of law so hold and administer said
article thirteen.
The Legislature has no authority in this
matter; any action on the same would be
surplusagc, if not intrusive.
The committee therefore ask to be eX.
cuscd from the further consideration of the
same; and they herewith respectfully re-
turn the communication of the Honorable
the Secretary of State of the United States.

The fight in Pennsylvania, however, will

to secure the reelection of Senator Cowan,
and all the politicians from that State with
whom have conversed believe that they
will succeed in this important object. l
am assured by several of the candidates for
Congress who are opposing the present
Radical incumbent that the coming cleo
