MoTHERs.-Each mother is historian.
She writes not the history of empires or en-
perors on paper, but she writes her own his
tory on the imperishable mind of her chill
drcn, all susceptible and easily impressed.
A word, Il look, irown, may engrave an
impression on the mind of child which no
lapse of time can efface or wash out You
walk along the sea shore when the tide is
out, and you form characters or write words
or names in the smooth, white sand, which
is spread out so cle;r and beautiful at your
feet, according as your fancy may dictate !;
. but the returning tide shall in few hours
wash out and efface all you have written
Not SO the lines and characters of truth or
error which your conduct imprints ON the
mini of your child. There you write i'm
prcssions for the everlasting good or i'll of
your child, which neither the floods nor the
storms of earth can wash ont, nor deaths
cold fingers erase. How careful, then, should
each mother be in the treatment of her child !!
How prayerful, and how serious and how
earnest to write the eternal truths of God
on his mind-those truths which shall be
his guide and teacher when her voice shall
be silent in death.

THOMAS L. CHRIsIMAN-Dear Sir--In the
Spring OF 1868, willie in the cavalry services of
the Confederate States army, | owned fine
horse that became blind periodically, and was
pronounced by the Farrier of The Regiment a
"moon eyed" horse, and advised me to destroy
one to save the ether. Being advised by you to
Try your Ointment. HAVING tried many other
remedies, | administered it only three times,
and to my surprise, in three days the eyes of the
horse were as good us they ever had been
owned the horse for months afterwards, and there
was no return OF blindness. | used the Ointment
with equal success in Scratches and Saddle Calls
which were common to cavalry horses.

RIOT IN AsEEvILLE.-A serious and
shameful riot occurred in this place on Tues.
day last-election day-betwecn tile hours
of one and two O'clock in the afternoon. in
which one freedman was killed on the spot.
and seven others wounded. IT is also re-
ported that a white youth accidentally re
ceived some injury as he was peaceably
standing by and holding his horses
There are many rumors afioat in regard to
this shameful affair, but us legal investiga-
ton will doubtless he made in reference to
the facts, we deem further comments by us
at this time imprudent.
It is the opinion:of every Republican with
whom we have consulted. that in conse-
quencc OF the riot quite number of colored
and some white votes were lost to the Re
publican party. We are reliably informed
that parties coming in to vote were deferred
in consequence of the excitement produced.

A FRIGHTFuL RECORD IN TEXAs.-The
sub report on frccdmen's aff:iirs in Texas,
just made by Gen. Reynolds, shows The
startling fact that there have been reported
III that district, to tile end OF September
from the close Of Tie war, 7G1 murders, and
that the punishment of death for all these
crimes has been inflicted by civil authorities
np"n only one person, and lie was negro.
Only 6 whites were killed by negroes while
AGA negroes were killed by whites, 2t4 more
shot or stabbed, but not killed, and 15S
mere whipped. It does not need the Ian
gnage Of General REYNOLDS report TO prove
that the utmost awicssness exists in nearly
every part OF the State; thai schools are
broken up. sclinolhouscs burned. and teach
ers either murdered or driven off. The re-
port shows that tie negroes are mostly self
supporting, the value of ratlons issued du-
ing the past year being less than $500.

The LADY OF THE WHITE HOUSE In
connection with the election of Gen. Grant
to the Presidency, and only second 10 it in
point of interest, is the promotion of Mrs.
Grant to the post Of Lady of the White
House" 1t is gratifying 10 think that the
position is one which Mrs. Grant will fill
with the true simplicity Of an American
woman. There will he TO attempt to ape
the grandeur OF a regal court, and no vulgar
striving after mere sensation. Mrs. Grant is
lady who has maintained, through every
event which has marked the v;cissitudes of
her husbands life, a marked propriety of
demeanor. She has i,een teipmeet in days
OF adversely, and has shared his honors with
out being dazzled by the position or con-
taHinated by the foolish adniations Of those
who worship at the shrine Of success.-Bos-

The Modern vilslhia Tournament.

L ssi
On nv return lronIthis cunning excursion,
I suddenly Stumbled upon the age of the
cloth ot.gold, and found myself at. genuine
tournament. In an open feld an upright
and cross beam, like a sort of two handed
eallows, stood erect. and from the end of
tile longer arm tl;,nslcd not a rebel, but
ring. Riding up to said ring, at full
galop, with bean-pole concIant in the
lands of each, n number of young men were
making knightly efforts to carry it off
Their efforts were hailed from platform
near by, with snch cries as are related to
have resounded in Ivanhoe 'ithcr of en-
eouragement or disapproval. To instance:
Go it, Fooksy! go it! bet all my
stamps on the knight of the lost cause
You son of hitching post, Ga J"
In this we get the entire genius ot
tournament, much better than Scott renders
it. Fooksy having failed to get the ring,
loud cries are made of:
Now, Snipedriver! you Gud burned
knight of the bonnie blue flag, eff you don't
spear that ring, rll hit you with an Irish
pertaterln
Snipedriyer clashes up calamity. misses
the ring and, in the literal truth Of
chivalric VOW, receives cold turnip on the
side of his face.
In this way the knights of SwampoodIe,
the Unknown knights. the knight of MARI
boro, the knight OF the Black Horse Cava-
nv. and many Others, dash in at the ring
with varying success, till the ioust is over,
and the successful riders are to name their
lr!ics, amidst much pauting, wriggiing,
and remarks of: t- ,.-rtF
Geo away May Jane don't want to

cause know there amt no beauty about
lie with talkin' about T'
Yeas! Poll He's geowyn to crown
you sho' as yo' live. He's picking you out

and get Dubbed in order: the ladies' with
giggle, saying:
