young widow greeted him with a shake
Of both hands, at the same instant ey-
claiming
My dear General, am delighted to
see you; ! have walked six miles thi.

To this the President replied, with an
air of dignified gallantry-
" Madam, | regret that ! had not

RECEIPTS THAT NEVER FAIL.-To

put them into a barrel, and then get in

TO kill bedbugs-chain their hind
legs to Il tree, then 90 around in front
and make mouths at them.
To catch mice-on going to bed put
crumbs of cheese into your mouth, and
lie with il open, and when mouse's
whisk ere tickle your throat, bite.
To prevent dogs from going mad-cut
their tails Off Just behind the ears.

ANNOYING AND FASHIONABLE
ACCIDENT
\ YOUNG LADY FALLS THROUGH A.
BUGGN.

\ YouNG LADY FALLS THROUGH A,
BCGGN.
one of the annoying, yet ludicrous
accidents, which will happen in the
best of families, occurred on Sunday, not
over thousand miles from this city. a
dry goods clerk had an engagement to
take his lady love Il buggy riding. Ear
ly in the morning he appeared before
her fathers door, with one of those spi-
der-like vehicles, which are probably
constructed with view of ascertaining
how light buggy can be made, and at
the same time be serviceable.
The lady is sweet sixteen, beautiful,
and just u little bit of what is termed
fast She is full of life, fun and fro-
ic, and is decidedly en- boHpOiHt, weigh
ing about one hundred and forty-fivc
pounds. y, the young gentleman
drove up, his lady love was standing on
the top step of the front door, with her
venerable father, who had his gold specs
elevated on his forehead, in order to
get Il distant view Of his future son-in-
law.
AdOnis jumped out Of the buggy pre-
pared to assist the young lady in but
she suddenly took one of those strange
freaks to which the dear sex are all
subject. The buggy was standing
about four feet from the steps and con
sidcrably below the steps upon which
stood the young lady. She probably
wanted to convince her lover that she
was not clumsy if She was fat, and
| thought this would be Il good time tu
show him her agility. BE that as il
may she gave Il jump and landed in the
sentrc of the buggy. If she had stop
ped there all would have been well, but
alas the thin boards of the bottom OF
the buggy, unable to stand the prcsur
gave way, and the young lady contin-
/ ued her descent.
/ There was piercing scream; Il
plunging horse with a young man hold
! ing to him, Il bundle of muslin in the
buggy and two little gaiter boots point.

under it. Pater familias rushed to tn,
rescue and detached the horse from the
buggy. lie then got up on one side
young man on the other, and they at
tempted to raise young lady up. 80

cried.
The boards had broken in the centre
and the long sharp splinters extended
downwards, and when they attempted
to rails the young lady out of her pre-
dicament these sharp splintcrs woul,

You will then understand the sad fl.
that our young lady was in on Sunda

man to get down and break the splir

commissioned General Joseph A. Cooper, who
is an experienced and prudent man, to take the

with authority To make such changes in the
location of companies as he, in consultation
with me. may deem necessary and proper: this
order is issued TO notify all officers and enlisted
men to strictly obey his orders.
III. There are now twelve companies ready
for the service; and, although find no trouble
in raising companies, there Will not be called
into service more than twelve or fourteeen com
panies, all told, unless the rebellious conduct
Of the people shall make 1T necessary TO olncrease
the force.
III. The length of time that this small force
OF State militia will be continued in the service
depends entirely upon the conduct OF the
people. The indications are that we are to have
disturbances at different points, prompted by
bad and rebellious men; but in this hope, for
the sake of the country, that may be disap-
pointed. w. G. BRowNLow,

IMPORTANT LETTER FROM THOMAS J. DURANT.
From the Ne,O Orleans Tribune, Jtne8
Mr.. Durant, in reply to a letter from one
of our distinguished citizens, has written the
following important reply, which we are at
liberty to use:-
WASHINGTON CITY, May H.-Dear SIr:-I
received yesterday letter you addressed me
on the I'D instant and appreciate highly the
kind feelings by which 1t was dictated. Some
OF my old and warm friends have also written
me in the same strain, but impute this
entirely to their good feeling for me- The dig
nifty OF the existing emergency rises above per-
sonal considerations, and the great work OF re-
storing Louisiana, free and just, to a place in
the Federal Union, should not be embarrassed
by contention about the fitness of any man for
the Office of Governor or Senator, or what not.
with my consent.
In tracing out the path of operation laid down
in the act of March 23 1867, commonly known
as the Supplementary Reconstruction bill, it
seems TO me that the final act of transmitting
q constitution for the State TO the President. to
be laid before Congress. CANNOT well be consum.
months hence. Why, then, debate who shall
be office-bolders under constitution which
can only be considered at that remote period,
course would be mischievous in the extreme,
and ought not to be pursued.
In my opinion, the Constitution to be adopted
by the Convention in Louisiana should ex-
pressly provide that the elections under IL for
State officers, Representatives in Congress and
Senators, snail only take place within certain
term after the acceptance of the Consultation
by the Congress of the United States.
And am of opinion that no one of the late
Rebel States should be admitted into Congress
by its representatives until an amendment to
the national Constitution shall have been
adopted establishing irrevocable universal suf-
frage and equality before the law In every State
THOMAS }. DURANT.
