SOUTHERN FEELING AS TO NORTH
ERT DEAD.-Gen. Geo. w. Morgan, q
soldier of the war, who is running as a
Democratic candidate for Congress in
the Coshocton district, against Colum-
bus Delano, recently made the follow
ing statemennt in speech there:
*** The people of the South
have extended to the people of the
West and North the hand of reconcil-
,iation. To sustain what I say I could
narrate many facts, but will mention
but one.
In order to secure suitable ceme-
terry for our gallant soldiers who fell
upon the plains of Alabama, the au-
thorities of the United States desired
to purchase three acres beautifully To-
Gated within the corporate limits of
the city of Mobile. The tract was
valuable, but the purpose was sacred
to which it was to be dedicated. It
was proposed to make three acres the
honored home of the Union dead, and
there, within the corporate limits of
Mobile, to erect a monument to COM
memorate. their deeds. But the au-
thoritics OF Mobile refused to sell.
What refuse to sell sufficient ground
to contain the bones of our absent
ones-our fathers, brothers, sons ?
Yes, my countrymen, these Southern
men did refuse to sell sufficient ground
on which to bury our heroic dead
but with magnanimity only equalled
by their courage, those Southern men
did by free gift convey those three
acres to the United States And the
hand of the Mayor of Mobile-the
hand which signed that deed of gift
had, during our unhappy war, WELD
ed the sword ola Confederate Gener-
d. [Aprlause.]

Little difference exists between the

The question is oniyto discover by what

We must keep theengagements we have

create confidence in Dur word. But
we do not think it would have been use.

sian Government is sufficiently animated
by strong ambition to render it advisa.

According to the peace preliminaries,
the North Germans will nave the charge

the Southern Confederation. TO carry
out this task we shall have to examine
whether the want Of this organization

A RoMANT1c AFFAIR.-The Mont
gomery and Atlanta papers have had
accounts of rather romantic elopement
case, which occurred from Selma few
days ago. The pair, consisting of gay
and festive Yankee Sergeant, and
very young girl-dapghter of a highly
respectable family in Selma-went to
Montgomery for the purpose of realz-
ing the consummation of their hopes, but
were so closely pursued as to render it
impracticable to be married there and
they pushed on to find their Gretna

there is "protty' little" in it :

And asked her how she'd like to be

And pretty little sigh,
And some pretty little glances
From q pretty little eye
With a pretty little face
Behind pretty fan
She smiled on the proposals

Some pretty little ''loves,"
And some pretty little ''dears,"
Some pretty little smiles,
And some pretty little tears;
Some pretty little presents,
And pretty little kiss,
Were some pretty little preludes
To some pretty little bliss.

The MANNERS OF NAPOLEON AND
EUaENIE.--The Empress is impulsive,
very kind, and has smile that would
be really sweet and charming in any
woman, and that, naturally, loses none
of its charm by showing itself in the
face OF an Empress to world still
weakly partial to "majesty." The
charm ofthe Emperor's smile is in its
way, just as effective, its power being
often acknowledged even by those who
detest him most cordially, as in the case
of M. Provost Paradol, ono {! his bit
tetest political oppnents, who, having
been received by the Emperor, as is the
custom here, after his recent reception
in;o the academy, on which occasion he
had crammed his discourse with ingeni-
ously yet transparently covered illusions
to the emperor of the most bitingly ma.
licions character, and being mentioned
shortly afterward by a friend as to the
impression made upon him by the inter.
view, could not avoid expressing his
sense of the charm of the emperor's
manner, and added, quoting weII
known French proverb, "The fact is,
mon cher, that in order thoroughly to
hate people, one should not see them
too neaf."

KILLING OF A DESPERATE CHARAo.

KILLING OF A DESPERATE CHARAo.
TER.-A Louisville dispatch of yester-
day says: "An affair o" urred in Davies
county, Kentucky, on Saturday, which
resulted in the killing ofa notorious
individual, named Metcalff, who was a
desperate man, and kept the country in
fear, went to the residence of returned
rebel soldier, in MaGisonville, some time
ago, and murdered HIM by shooting him
through the window. The mans name
was John Chandler, and he was blind,
having lost his sight in the army. Met
calf was tried and convicted for murder,
and by giving bail, or by some means,
he was at large. On Saturday, the
sheriff of the county, Mr.. Tom Grinnell,
went to arrest Metcalff. He met him
and notified him he was his prisoner,
whereupon Metcalff undertook to- draw
n weapon and show resistance. No
sooner had he made motion to draw
his weapon, than Grinhell drew a pistol
and shot him three times, killing him in.
stantly."
