A HORRIBLE ScANDAL.-The Round Table
publishes startling article upon drunkenness a
mong women. It says the vice is prevalent among
fashionable ladies, and that some Of the most ee-
CANT of them will pass this summer not at Sarato-
ga or Newport as usual, but at an asylum for ine-
briates. The writer intimates that the vice Of
fashionable drinking is now more prevalent among
the ladies than among the gentlemen of this coun-
try that certain dress-makers make it point to
furnish their customers with drink, while in some
stores bottles of wine are also kepton hand for lady
shoppers, and in others the merchants allow their
boys to go to the nearest bar-room for liquor when
ladies desire it. Whiskey and brandy are the IA
vorite drinks of these ladies, and as some of the
saloons they frequent do not have these liquors on
the bill of fare, neat little sgn-"I you don't see
what you want, ask for it, gives the hint to the
initiated. In dress makers bills the significant
item ''small trimmings" often covers up the ex-
pense Of liquors which the lady has ordered through
the modistes who ,panders to her vitiated taste,
while at the watering places bribe to the waiter
procures secret supply of liquor, which, by the
connivance of the landlord, is charged as extra
luncheons" 1t is asserted that girls of eighteen,
daughters of most respectable New York mer-
chants, have been grossly intoxicated in Broadway
stages and upon the public Streets and that no su
periorty of intellect or social position is sufficient
to guard lady against this vice.

GEN. LEE AND THE OLD SOLDIER.

uEsNs LEE AMI i LIE OAO SSADAGAss
One of General Lees family tells of most touch
ing incident that occurred between the General
and an old soldier, soon after the surrender IS
as follows:
San old man, tall, rough and ragged, but true
hearted Virgnian, from the mountains, called at
the residence of the General, and speaking Low,
said "Ginral, have come down here 10 take
you and your wife and darter up to our place in
the mountains Yankees has cotched President

continued, 'Ginral, theresa place up thar where
you can, hide, and nary Yankee can find ye.'-
'But," said the General, "you would not have

'sBut, Ginral, faint no fair fight now. They'll
sneak up unbeknownst, and if they cotch you they
will hang you sure.":sa ~ . '1'Hs:ani'5 Cd Tet
'1The General satisfied the old fellow that there
was no danger Of his hanging, and said, looking
pitifuly at the stockingless feet and tattered
clothes Swat my kind friend, while I go up
stairs" He went up and returned with package
which he gave to the old man, saying, 'Some kind

down his furrowed cheeks. Soon as be conld

LINING A T1aER--An ingenious mode of tiger
killing is that which is employed ba the natives OF
Dude. They gather number of broad leaves OF
the prauss tree, which much resembles the syca-
more, and having well besmeared them with kind
of birdime, they strew them in the animals way
taking care to lay them with the prepared side up.

these innocentlooking leaves and bis fate is set,

shakes it in order to rid himself of the nuisance,
and finding the plan unsuccessful, he endeavors te
attain his object by rubbing it against his face
thereby smearing the ropy birdlime over his noss
and eyes, and guing the eyeids together. By

The trial took place in the present hall Of the
House of Delegates, and the struggle for admission
was terrible. So great was the number Of dsin-
guished persons claiming seats within the bar that
lawyers Of twenty years standing were excluded
from their accustomed seats Among the young
men of the town who had succeeded in forcing their
way in was Winfield Scott, who clambered up and
stood for many hours on the massive lock Of the
door of the hall Justice Marshall presided at the
trial. assisted by Cyrus Griffin Judge Of the Dis
trict Courtof Virginia George Hay was the Uni
ted States District Attorney, and with him were
associated Alexander McCrea, who at the tune Of
the trial was Lieutenant Governor of Virginia
Edmund Randolph, John Wickham, Luther Mar

for Burr. = o. .,-.i... ...--
The grand juries of those days were composed of
the most eminent and distinguished men in the
State, and we find United States Senator (Giles)
among the grand jurors, who was withdrawn in
consequence Of his prejudice against the accus-
sed." John Randolph, the great orator of Roam
oke, was the foreman of the grand jury.
After the finding of atrue BILL fourteen days were
spent in getting an impartial jury who had meth
er formed nor expressed an opinion as to the guilt
of the accused" The trial lasted ten days longer,
when the jury returned the qualified verdict Of ac
quittal: ''We, of the jury, say that Aaron Burr
is not proved to beguity under the indictment, by
any evidence submitted to US" This verdict was
finally changed to one Of not guilty.

Radicals of the House will delay as little as poss-
BILE in presenting the articles of impeachment to
the Senate, but once the latter body obtains control
of the case, the proceedings will become slow and
cautious to the last degree.
Your correspondent has just returned from the
White House, where the President and his advls-
ers have been in consultation for the last two hours
I am enabled to inform you that the President has
determined upon change Of tactics tomorrow.
Heretofore his adversaries have enjoyed signal
advantage in having Judge Cartier, bitter Radi-
cal, presiding upon the bench OF the District
Court. The official position Of Cartier enables him
to postpone the Presidents legal redress from day
to day. and gain time for the partlsans OF Stanton
To remedy this the application for writ of quo
,oarranto has been abandoned, and tomorrow the
sureties of the new Secretary Of War, General L..
Thomas will proceed to surrender him to the Uni
ted States Marshal. General Thomas will refuse
to give other bail, and will then be sent to jail
Thereupon writ of habeas corpus Will be applied
for and the matter in that shape will be brought,
without delay, before the Supreme Court Of the U.
States. This is the programme which has been
arranged for tomorrow, within the last hour.
An intimate friend Of Mr.. Bingham, who has
seen the draft of the articles of impeachment in.
forms me tonight that one of the leading com,
ments of that document will charge the President
with being IAN obstruction to reconstruction.

Galena by The arrest of stephen Hyde,
a young physician of that place, on a

day hearing was had before Justice
Derthick the result of which was that.
DR.. Hyde was held to bail in the sum OF

Court and having furnished the require
