Gen. Buell. NonpIussed.

Just after the battle of Perrysyille,
in Kentucky, as the army was ad
vancing towards Crab Orchard, Ky,
Harry Conner, a printer, and private
of the lst Ohio, gave out, his feet
being so sore that he obtained per
mission to ''fall out" and "come up"
as soon as he could. Soon after he
laid down in the fence corner, Gen
eral Buell. and an orderly came riding
along, when the General enquired Of
him WHO are you?" Harry Conner" "

"1st Ohio" was the reply. "Col. Par

"My legs gave OUT replied Harry.

at once" Il can't-my legs refuse
to act" said Harry. ''I'll teach you
to keep up with your regiment. .
"Glad of it, Doctor hope you will

you can't play off on me that way.
General Buell. always keeps to the
front when a battle is expected, and
I shant obey you" The General
got out of patience, and threat
ened to ride over Harry, at the
same time suiting the action to the
word. spurred his horse forward,
when Harry sprang up and charged
bayonet on the horse, calling out
rally by fours.' The General drew
his sword when Harry jumped the
fence, and told the general that if he
did not stop he would arrest him,
make him dismount, and march into
the 1st Ohio. The General, having

N The uncultivated people on
the Pacific side have hitherto refused
to accept greenbacks as money, or
to have anything to do with them,
except as marketable commodity.
All taxes have been collected in gold,
and, in spite of Federal legal-tender
laws, the decisions of the State
Courts have maintained the mercan-
tile custom as paramount. One of
the counties in Oregon is contesting
this policy of nullification of nation
al law, in suit designed to test the
power of the State to enforce collec-
ton of taxes in coin; and the ques-
tion is to he decided by the United
States Supreme Court, at the present
term.

re- The cholera some weeks ago
broke out among the negroes on the
Buckhorn plantation, in Louisiana, near
Milliken's Bend. The .ovsrseer, the
only white person on the place, becom-
ing alarmed, went of. DR.. Danley
was sent for, and on arriving, found
fifteen dead and unburied. Those who
had not been taken with the disease
paid no attention to either the dead or
the dying, refusing to assist in burying
the dead. The Doctor went to Gem
eral Peck's plantation, few miles off,
for the purpose of procuring help. The
negroes there at first refused to 90, but
after being stimulated with whisky,
finally consented. In the meantime
twenty more had died-and in day
or two forty EIGHT, making in all eighty
three. This dreadful mortality is sup
posed to have been occasioned by the
eating of fish which were caught in
large quantities in some lakes in the
neighborhood, which had been nearly
dry, the water remaining being very
muddy, stagnant and offensive. There
were about hundred negroes on the
place.

" The N. Y. Herald of Monda,

~ The N. Y. Herald of Monday
relates q remarkable fatal coinci-
dence, as follows: son Saturday last
Isaac Hall, baker, living at No. 708
Third avenue, was buried. On the
Thursday preceding he was driving
a horse and buggy through Central
Park, accompanied by lady friend,
when the horse took fright and ran
away, Mr. Hall being unable to con-
troll him. On turning the east end Of
the Mall he was thrown out and in
stantly killed, the lady escaping un-
hurt. On Thursday, two weeks pre-
vious he was driving in the same
buggy, and, when near Jones' Wood
the horse ran away, throwing out his
wife, who was instantly killed, him
self and his little daughter escaping
unhurt. His wife was also buried on
Saturday"

ADVERTISING PEoPLE-Says the
Boston Post, ''people who advertise
are smarter than those Who don't;
better looking, too, nine in ten. This
is natural, if not logical. Adyertis-
ing is an indication of intelligence,
and intelligence is one of the leading
elements of good looks. At all
events the world believes in those
who advertise, and it plants its dol.
lars in their pockets. Such are live
people; and in these live days nobody
wants anything to do with any but
your live men and women. Our ad-
vice to everybody-except in matri-
mony-is to advertise 1t is sure to
return largely, increase your reputa-
tion as business man, make hosts
of friends, and add to the number of
shrewd and sensible people in the
world, of which there has never yet
been an overstock.

a A CLEVELAND Herald rem

w- A Cleveland Herald reporter
looked into forty-two saloons in that
city, the other evening, and found an
average of nine persons in each. TAX
ing nine as the. average, he figures as
follows: We have about $50 places
where liquor is sold in the city. The
multiplication Of these figures gives us
$3.50 persons drinking in the saloons.
They will spend on an average about
thirty cents each, which gives total
of S1,774; multiply this number by 800
as the days of the year when the Gus
tom is good, and we have the enormous
sum of S434,20O for liquor. This is
only figuring from the number seen in
the saloons in the course of a two
hours walk. The amount of money
taken in at these places for liquor is
probably S1,80o,O00 year. The city
gets about $4,000 of this sum for
licences; leaving about 81, ,765, 600 for
the liquor dealers.

NIAGARA ECLIPsED.-An astonish
ed tourist writes to the Frontier In
der from the curious district sur
rounding the Yellowstone Lake of
Montana:
Near the outskirts of this mon
strous locality there is lake on the
top Of the mountain that is yet fro
zen over, the ice and snow covering
it's surface some twenty feet deep
Two main forks of the Yellowstone,
one heading opposite Wind and
Green rivers, and the other opposite
Henry's Fork of Snake river, in the
same vicinity that the Madison and
Gallatin rise, empty into the big
lake, which has for its outlet the
Yellowstone Y river, and just below
the lake the whole river falls over
the face of mountain thousands of
feet, the spray rising several hundred
feet. -
A pebble was timed by a watch in
dropping from an overhanging crag
Of one perpendicular fall, and is said
to have required eleven and a half
seconds to strike the surface of the
river below. That beats Niagara
Falls "all hollow" The river at
these greatest falls is represented to
be half as large as the Missouri at
Omaha, and as clear as crystal. The
great lake, all others in these noun
tains, is thick with salmon trout, OF
from five to forty pounds weight,
and where the milky boiling mineral
waters from the geysers intermingle
with the pure clear water from .ne
running streams, these elegant nsn
can be s'forked'' up by the boat ioad.
