AFTER receiving bis pardon, ex-90v. |
ernor I. @. Moore, OF Louisiana, visited
his plantation for the first time for sev-
eral years. While riding over the
grounds. and when passing the site of !
his once large sugarho he startled |
three deer, which were lying in their
beds in apparent security. = In 1890,
there were few more highly cultivated
and productive estates than Governor
Moore's. His income from cotton and
sugar alone, exceeded Sl00, 900 q year.
Nothing is left of this splendid estate
but the land aud the charred and black.
ened ruins of,the once elegant, spacious
and comfortable buildings.
A SHARP CRrreuE..- Shakespeare
never received keeper criticism than
that made by an old sea captain, who
figures in Felton's Familiar Letters from
Europe. The author says:
Last night read some passages from
the Midsummer's Nights Dream to the
captain. When / came to the descrip.
ton Of the. mermaid riding upon the
dolpbin's back, he pronounced It hum.
bug. "Phe dolphin's back is as sharp
as razor, and no mermaid could posi-.
bly, ride the beast unless she had first
saddled him." So Shakespeare was
caught mapping here.

gentlemen, who were indebted TO the
United States Government before the
war, and were compelled to make their
returns TO the Confederate Government,
to learn that efforts will probably s,on
be made to induce the Post Master. Gem

due in many cases are not great but the
Inconvenience of paying them with no
money in the " till"-is terrible.

! The newspapers announced, a few
weeks since, that Butler had sued the
editor Of the La Crosse Democrat for
libel, laying his damages at 100000.
1t is now reported that he has offered
to withdraw the suit, if the editor, Brick
Pomeroy, will let him alone. The con.
tumacious Brick replies that he will sec
him condemned first ; that he proposes
to manage his own defence, and defes
the Beast.
