Oct 2, 1867, the following resolutions,
relating to what they think Of the Pub
licativn of the list Of deserters, were
adopted Ire. se.H .araI. MI E.,. ...f-}
ResozUeo, That expressing. our. senti-
ments as soldiers, we heartily endorse the
resolutions adopted by several of our
sister Posts, in this State, regarding the
publication of the list of deserters from
the military service of the United Sta es
during the late rebellion, and the dis
reimbursement of;the same. a1og# al
Resozpez, That while We deplore the
fact that a fen true soldiers may have
been enormously published as deserters,
yet knowing as we do that this is mainly
the result of erroneous returns of regi-
mental and company officers, we cannot,
on that account, condemn the 'sdisfran-
chisement law" which we deem to be
wise and just.usa'T :uazEfff &l5b5 4se -

benefit to those zwho have been eerrone.

A JUVENILE "SHow. Last sum-
mer, little boy only five years Id,
invited me into the summer house to
see his "show." 1 paid penny at
the door, and gravely seated myself
on bench to wait for the perform
ance to begin. There was piece of
twine stretched across the summer
house, and Master Harry took his
seat beside it, saying
"These are my tanned grasshoppers
in this box, and I've teached 'em to
walk on n tightropc; now you'll see. :"
He took great brown grasshopper
from the box, placed him on the
string, and to my astonishment he
crawled slowly along it to the other
side, and made no attempts to Jump
off. At last, [ solved the mystery,
and found that his legs had been re-
moved, 80 of course he could do
nothing but crawl.
"Why, Harry" I exclaimed, chow
could you be so cruel?"
81 didn't hurt him bit, auntie,"
was his confident reply; "those great
things were just in the way, and he
never could wall, vail, like foiks."
"But it did hurt him, Harry" I
explained; ''his legs were part of
his body, just as much as your legs
are a part of you"
Wasn't speck of juice in 'em,
anyway" persisted Harry, looking
rather soberly at his tame grasshop-
per, "and L thought if it hurt him,
he'd said something abont it,"
ga great many little insects have
no power to cry when they are in
pain, but feel pain, just the same as
Others"
"Oh," said Harry, ':he's deaf and
dumb, amt he? Well. won't tame
any more grasshoppers; but these two
are spoilt already, and I guess we'll
go ON with the show.

CosTspERATs MONEY Az AID CoN-,
siDRRAE1oN. The case Of Dean va.
Harvey, administrators of w. a..
Youeli, has been finally settled by the
United States Circuit Court OF Geor-
gia. The Rome Courier says:g 2
"Youell, in 1864, purchased Of
Dean his plantation, in Floyd Coun-
ty, Georgia, for $24, 600 in Confede-
rate money. Dean remained in pos
session, but since the war entered
into recent contract for the place
with Harvey, the administrator of
Youell. Afterwards Dem filed a bill
in the Superior Court of Floyd Coun-
ty to set aside the sale and to enjoin
Harvey from turning him out OF pos
session, upon the ground that the
consideration of tho purchase was
Confederate money, and the sale
therefore void. The Superior Court
Of this County first granted the in
junction, but afterwards dissolved it
on motion of Harvey g. Scott, the
administrators counsel. In the mean
time, Dean moved to Alabama, leav-
ing his tenant in possession, and dis
missing his case i'll the Superior
Court, and commenced his suit by
bill, as before, in the United States
District Court for Northern Georgia,
praying for injunction, relief, etc.
The case being argued on demurrer
at the present term, his honor Judge
Erskine dismissed the bill, sustain
ing the rights of the purchaser. The
case has excited great deal of inte-
rest, and is, perhaps, the most i'm
portant one to the Southern people
decided since the close of the war by
United States Court"

A PARIS PRACTICAL JoKE.--The
Paris correspondent of the Globe
writes:
practical joking, 1 had thought,
died out long ago in all decent socie-
ty; but, II newspapers are to be be-
lieved-a thing of which I am not at
all certain-Q speak, of course, only
of those of France and the rest of
the continent)-it still fourishes in
the highest society of this country.
Here, for example, greatly condens-
ed, is story 1 find in one of the
journals of Paris: A distinguished
party was fortnight ago the guests
of the Marquis de Ga, in the
chateau of -, in the neighborhood
of Trouville. The ladies of the party
being bored, resolved somewhat un-
gratefully, in order to amuse them
selves to play off joke on their
host. So one night they placed a
quantity of -four between the sheets
of his bed. At his customary hour,
the marquis retired to rest, but the
strange substance astonished him,
and he jumped up. He found him
self as white as a miller, from head
to foot. A few moments reflection
convinced him that he was the victim
of q trick. He coolly rang for his
valet, made the man scrape him and
wash him, and change the sheets.
He then returned to bed. The next
morning he said not word of what
had happened. Three evenings after
he proposed to drive to small shoot
ing lodge in the neighborhood, where
there was splendid view, and when
he got there he offered the ladies tea.
The cake served with the liquid was
extraordinarily good, and the fair
danes did ample justice to it. They
declared that they had never seen
anything like it in Paris. Yet moth
ing would be more simple to make
such cakes, said the marquis. First
take your flour, continued he, with
all the solemnity of a cookery book,
'and then loll q man in it.. The
ladies looked aghast. Yes, mes
danes, the cake is made of the flour
in which it was your pleasure
should be whitened the other night !
'ho'rew! QueNe ho,reW" screamed
they"

PoLIrICAL SQUIB.-The New York
Tribune frequently prints a good
squib against the nominees of its
adverse party. The following is on
the nomination Of Mr.. Pendleton, of
Ohio, for the Presidency:
Somebody has nominated Mr..
George II. Pendleton for President
of the United States, and it is under
stood that the distinguished candi-
date is building his platform, whereof
the chief planks are: 1. A nigger is
not rs good as n white man. 2. Not
being rs good as white man, a Mig
ger is good for nothing at all. 3. If
you let q nigger vote, he will marry
your daughter. 4. A dollar is not q
dollar. but piooe OF green paper.
5. A promise to pay is binding only
as long rs it may be convenient to
keep it. 6. Free liquor. We have
not heard who has been chosen to
write the customary campaign Life
of the candidate, but we suggest Pol
lard"

BROKE THE Piled GE.-In a certain
Ladies' Moral Reform Society, 4"
existing not many miles from the
bank of a certain river, the members
were required to sign pledge not to
"set up" as it is termed, or do any
thing else that might be supposed to
have tendency, however remote, to
immortality. One evening. as the
president was calling over the names
to know whether each member had
kept her obligation, beautiful and
highly respectable young lady burst
into tears, and on being questioned
as to the cause, said she feared that
she hadbroke her pledge.
"Why, what have you done?" asked
the president.
ooh" sobbed the young lady,
CDR. - kissed me the other night,
when he waited on me home from
meeting"
go, well, that is nothing very
bad, said the president; "his kiss
ing you does not make it that you
have broken the pledge"
ooh! that isn't the worst of it, {"
exclaimed the young lady, 81 kissed
him back again"

THE PLANTING INTEREST. 1T has
been remarked by a practical man.
that whenever breadstuffs rule high,
cotton is depressed, and uice versa.
He states that he has never known it
to fail. The Southern people, in
their present poverty, should draw q
lesson from this strange coincidence,
and abandon the culture of cotton on
so large scale, and take to that of
raising grain crops. 1t is very GER
tain that the price of provisions pro-
misses to be high, in spite of reported
good crops, and before making ar
rangements for another year, planters
would do we'll to make very close cal
culation as to the profit or loss of
cotton raising, to the neglect of corn
and wheat.
Colonel Thomas W. Knox, we'll
known as the author of "Camp- Fires
and Cotton Fields" and as success
full correspondent for the New York
Herald during the war, has recently
returned from the tour of the world,
having travelled $4,000 miles, of
which distance $500 miles were in a
sleigh in Siberia, 1900 in carriage,
1000 by steam on the Amoor River,
and the rest by ocean and rail. Colo
mel Knox has prepared very inte-
resting lecture, entitled "Six Months
in Siberia" which he will soon de-
liver.
A USEFUL GLASS. The annual ses-
sion of the brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers was held last week,
ut Cincinnati. It represents eighty
four divisions, in various parts Of the
country, and has been in existence
four years. Its object is to insure
safe, reliable and sober men for the
position of engine drivers. 100 dele
gates were present, and they are
spoken of as q body of men as re-
spectacle and intelligent as ever were
convened in Cincinnati.
A journalist in New York gravely
proposes, and urges with great deal
of force, the necessity for the estab.
lishment of an "Asylulu for Useless
Young Men," His object seems to
be to provide for class of rather re-
spectacle, but good-for-nothing fell
lows, who sponge upon their rela-
tions, and never do anything for
themselves or anybody else, and calls
upon the State to look into the mat
ter. His idea is good one, per-
haps, in other localities.
Rev. DR.. Mahlenburg, the author of
the hymn, 81 would not live alway," is
in his 72d year, and has been q minis
ter forty-six years.

Love ana hornets.

A ludicrouB, but still o painful and
embarrassing incident occurred to. an
acquaintance of ours, during the week
of the Shelby County fair. Our
friend, who is gallant young
widower, was visiting q house in the
country, which, at that time, among
its other tenants, contained three
beautiful and accomplished young
ladies. It is supposed by the know
ing ones that one of these young
ladies was the principal fair which
attracted our friend to Shelby Coun-
ty. Be that as it may, he went to
stay the week out, and was duly sup
piled with raiment suitable for the
occasion.
On his arrival, he was shown to
his room, where he Immediately COM
menced getting himself up for dinner.
Taking from his vaiise u glossy broad
cloath coat, he hung it up by an
open window, in order to let the
wrinkles in it get somewhat smoothed
ont before dinner. When that i'm
portant event arrived, our hero, hur-
riedly putting on his coat, repaired
to the parlor, and from thence &C.
companied the ladies to the dining
room. He had barely seated himself
before he astonished the company by
n loud ejaculation and violent slap
of his shoulder.
He kept on calculating, writhing,
and slapping vigorously for short
time, when he suddenly jumped to
his feet, nearly upsetting the table,
and roared out. "What in hi is
it," At the same time, he was strip
ping himself of his coat and vest.
The ladies became very much fright
ened at his frantic movements, and
beat hasty retreat. They thought
he had become suddenly crazy, and
was going to strip himself naked in
his insane spasm. SO they flew to
the parlor and barricaded the door.
In the meantime, our friend had
discovered the cause of his fright.
Several enormous hornets had crawled
into his coat sleeves, while that gar
ment was hanging at tho window,
and not liking their confined posi-
ton, they had commenced pegging
away ut him as soon as he sat down.
hS Ittihiul Ill QUILL
quick succession, and so unaccounta-
bly,, filled the mind Of the victim with
terror. He thought of vipers, cent?
pedes and tarantulas, and who shall
blame him for being frightened out
of his wits.
The cause of his curious conduct
was explained to the ladies, much to
their relief. Their hearts were filled
with sympathy and mirth, and that
was merry little dinner party not
withstanding its inauspicious COM
mencement.
Our friend has recovered from the
stings of the hornets, but rumor hath
it that the arrow from Cupid's bow
still ranl1les in his heart. Let her
rankle, and if he goes crazy again,
we trust that his inquiry-"what is
it?" will be made in o lower tone and
directed to q different party.

member of q fanatical religious sect,

offered him as sacrifice to God. He
stabbed the little boy seven several
times in the stomach, and after he

After being taken to prison, he reso-
lntely refused food, and died of starv-

ED. H."-An editor who knows
what he is writing about; says, very
truthfully and pointedly, that the
publication of advertisements is as
much in the business of newspaper
as the publication of tho news, and
an editorial notice, which is designed
to supply the place of OF add value
to regular advertisement, has even
less claim to q gratuitous Insertion
than would such nn advertisement.
Yet there are those who ask just such
qratuitors nc.;ccg, ana this almost MS
q matter of right. If these same
persons should be asked to make O
present of dozen yards of muslin
to each purchaser of merino dress,
or dollars worth of sugar to who
ever bought three pounds of tea, or
half dozen "free tickets" to who
ever engaged twenty seats at a con-
cert, they would resent the demand
as an insult. Yet why should not
their wages be given away as freely
as should and are the products of the
editors and publishers labor and
capital?

THEIR NAMES. Tile New York He
raid, in speaking of the Virginia cleo
tions, says:
A large proportion Of the Southern
blacks under slavery were only known
as Bob, Tom, Caesar, Pompey, Sam
or Jack, Christmas or Friday, and
when going to register they gave for
''''de odder name" anything which at
the moment most pleased their fancy.
Thus in Charleston the registration,
it is said, exhibits sixty-three black
abraham Lincolns, forty-six George
Washingtons and thirty odd Andrew
Jacksons. So we suspect that some
OF our sfellow-citizens cs African
descent in Virginia have been caught
mapping in forgetting their registered
names on election day, and if they
lose the State from this peculiar sort
OF apathy they must grin and bear
it.
