The Mobile Times has pathetic account of a
little girl of only ten years, and her sick brother
of four, whose father killed during the war,
and their mother had died more recently; left
without any means or protection, they were kind
ly cared for by their equally poor but older
neighbors, and managed to keep from starving
until new evil came upon them. The little boy
fell sick and they could get no medicine. Ex-
erting all her puuy strength, the tender sister
carried the little sufferer in her arms, who was
so weak as to be barely able to cling to her neck
and, coming in front of drug store, timidly
asked wha, was good for the feverand how much
money it would take to give some to her little
brother. few kind persons, then in the store
questioned the poor girl and soon learned that
she and her brother were all alone in the world
She was anxious to hire herself out Oh any terms
in order to procure residence. The people in the
store Immediately supplied their wants, and
they but their charitable neighbors were furnish
ed with permanent and substantial relief.

GEN. GRANT AND THE PREsIDENcY.-A Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Post
(RadicaD sends the following to that paper:
WAsHINGroN. D. c., Sept. II, 1867.
To the Editors Of the EUening Post:
An Officer of General Grants staff relates
conversation which he had with the General few
days ago, wherein the General remarked, con-
corning the talk of making him President, that
she would not he President of the United States
if the opportunity were offered; that he no
politician; that he hated politics; that, so far as
reputation and honor were concerned. he thought
he ought to be satisfied with what of these he al
ready enjoyed; that holding the office of Presi
dent would mar his present comfort, and drag
him into the storms and exctements Of politics;
that, as General of TIE Army, he had all the
work he could do, and slime enough to enjoy the
comforts of his family and home; and that he, as
soldier had gained /. lends enough in the coun-
try without seeking place where he should
gain no more, but probably loose those whom he
had gained.

SwINDLERs.-We learn from the Raleigh
Standard that party of swindlers are fleeing
the innocent housewives of Wke sboro, and that
section of the State in a shameful manner, de-
privlng them Of their feather beds. The Stan
dard says:
They propose to exchange feathers for
old ones, but not having their new feathers along
in the wagons. they make deposit of 40 cents
per pound for the old feathers in greenbacks, the
good wife empties half her beds, they drive off
with the load and never return. Of course the
money which they leave is counterfeit.
We learn that good many families trusting
to the representation of the strangers, their show
of honesty in dep"siting money, and led the more
easily astray by the desire to get new feathers
for old ones by exchange have been deprived of
their beds. and will have to sleep harder this
winter than ever BEFORE
3 This is the same party of scoundrels, we pre-
sumo, who arrested in this city some weeks
past for fleeing of the citizens of this
county of their feathers. We hardly think it
probable that they will visit county again,
it was made rather too warm in this section for
them.

JEFFERSON DAVIS AND his TRIAL.-A Rich
mond correspondent of the New York Tribune

JEFFERSON DAVIS AND BIS TRIAL.-A Rich
mond correspondent of the New York Tribune
writes
From an authentic source l have reason to
state that jefferson Davis will be tried at the
November term of the United States circuit court
here, and that he will be forthcoming at that time
The counsel for the defense will declare themsel-
yea ready for trial The court will signify its
assent in the same manner. The government
will ask for time under the pretense of being un-
prepared; shift to yet out of the trial. The
court will then say it will be in session for
siderable period, which will afford the govern
ment mple time to prepare, and lifts represen-
tatives fail to prosecute the prisoner before the
term of the court expires, it will inthat case
probably declare the prisoner discharged, in the
absense of the prosecution. Such will most
probably be the programme of the long expected
Davis trial, and such the upshot of it in the case
of the failure of the government to substantiate
its charges The country will then be rid of
serious imcumbrance.

COOP ADVICE TO Young MEN.-The editor
of the South Georgia Times gives the following
sound advice to the young men of the South:
We would like to see our young men giving
themselves to the farm labors with more readi-
ness than many of them seem disposed to. The
great object of every man is happiness. One
takes one road and another different one, but
all have the same object in view. The path of
ambition has never secured it, It has only
multiplied miseries and disappointments. The
surer road is the plain path. No man can enjoy
life without health. To secure this blessing the
body must be trained as we'll as the mind
The farm is the place for health, vigorous,
manly exercise, the surety for health, without
which all other blessings are bat ashes on the
lips. We would prefer to be Cincinnatus to
an Alexander, the farmer Washington to the
conquered Napoleon. We would rather see our
young men ambitious, if that be the proper word
to make large crops upon few acres; to make
two ears grow where one could heretofore be
obtained; ambitious to have fue horses COWS and
hogs of their rearing, full barns, neat we'll in
closed farm, houses and rural dwellings,; priding
themselves upon sowing no man anything" and
to hear their neighbors say of them that "they
fear God, love truth and practice virtue" If
thus it be, you have no use for the rugged dan
gerous path of ambition, full of tolls, cares,
anxieties, diseases and disappointments.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-Last Wednesday after
noon at about 3 O'Clock, the residence of Mrs
Elizabeth McLaurin on Rowan street caught
fire in the basement from some cause which has
not yet, so far as we know, been ascertaiDed,
and, despite every exertion, was destroyed, with
the kitchen and other out houses on the prem-
ses. When a crowd assembled che five had got
too we'll under Roadway to be arrested, and al
though the Mclean Fire Co, and the citizens
generally, worked hard and faithfully, not only
the buildings, but all the furniture, clothing,
and all other valuable property were consumed.
By great and unwearied exertions the ad joinir e
dwelling of the Mayor, J. R. Lee, was saved.
Ms. McLaurin's loss was very heavy. The
family was suddenly left houseless, and with
only the clothing worn at the time Besides, it
had been the old family home for many years;
fond associations of the past clustered there to-
kens of the loved aud lost, and relics of by gone
days went down in its ashes. We extend our
warmest and most heartfelt sympathy in this
great calamity. NepS, 17th inst.
