An Example.

We know young man, a native Of Mis-
sissippi, who was born to affiuence, as his
great grandfather, q Virginia gentleman,
had been before him. He was about seven
teen years old when the war ended up to
which time he had lived In. luxurious
home, his father before the war having a
yearly income Of not less than thirty thou
sand dollars in gold, all Of which he
spent on his home and it's inmates. His
children never had q wish for anything that
money could buy that it was not antici.
pated. The war left the father with nothing
but his land for both armies had passed
near his plantation, and his stock and
household furniture had disappeared
passed, what was left, under the auction
eer's hammer for Confederate money. And
even the land WAS not his, for old security
debts claimed and obtained @ mortgage on
that.
What did our young hero, for he is
worthy of the name, under such circum'
stances .- IT. ..~ ..r...-, .-'
He took his hands out of his pockets and
put them to ths pillow. By his Individual
labor he PLANTED and cultivated FIVE acres Of
cotton and fifteen of corn, besides an acre
or two in popcorn and peanuts.
Work was hard for him at frst-very
hard. As he told the writer I" thought
I never would learn TO hoe. My hands
would pain me 80 that would almost weep
but before the summer was out could hoe
q row with the best hand in Mississippi"
He had good land, bringing full bale
of cotton or thirty to thirty-fVe bushels Of
corn to the acre, and his years work has
uetted him from $500 to 1000. Heis now
going to school in Virginia on the proceeds
Were the example of that young man fol
lowed generally by our southern youth, how
rapidly this country would recuperate and
enjoy material prosperity unknown to il
in the past.-liobile Tribune. ,r

General Rousseau's Report.

New ORLEANS, November 3O--Dr. South
worth publishes to-pay his correspondence
with General Rousseau concerning the para
graph in the New York HeralQS version Of
General Rousseau's report to General
Grant, which contained reflections on DR..
southworth which do not appear in the Off
cial report at headquarters. General Rous-
seau states that the paragraph rejecting on
8. forms no part ofhis annualreport to Gene
raj Grant. SouthWo adds that he never
visited General RS headquarters except
on business and in the interest of peace
and order, and never uttered the senti-
ments attributed to him in the HeraId'S in
terpolated paragraph, which he denounces
as false and malicious go far as 1t relates to
him.
The publication Of his report in any
shape by the Herald about authority from
army headquarters was entirely unauthor-
lied by General Rousseau.

A Well-knoWn physician in Troy pre-
scribed turpentine in case of gangrene.
The patient protesting that the turpentine
was disagreeable to take, the physician i'd
vised that it be given in capsules. The
mans wife, not understanding his direc-
tons, gave the unfortunate the capsules
without the turpentine, and, singular to re-
late, with the most gratifying results. The
physician was highly pleased, and at once
wrote lengthy article on the use Of tur-
pentine in gangrene for the Medico- Chi
r,ugical Reuie,o. Accidentally the mistake
was discovered. The article for the Revie,1
has been destroyed, the doctor is in state
more easily imagined than described, and
the man is well.
The late Earl Of Normanton, of England,
left personal property worth So, 900, Of
which $500, 600 are in trlst--the income to
90 to his second son, Herbert, for life, and
after his death one-half of the capital is to
90 for the benefit of his widow and chill
dren, and the other half is to fall into the
residuary personal estate. The Earl, how
ever, provided that in case his son should
not marry within three years after his
decease, or should marry o widow, he is to
forfeit half of the money given him.
