How REvERDY JOHNSON LOST AN Eye.
" How did he lose that eye, sir ?"
"Well North Carolina congressman
named Stanley had been bull-ragging
Henry A. Wise with the determination to
make the latter fight or be frightened.
Wise finally resolved to suffer this thing
no more, but to bring it to head. So, at
horse-race near Washington city he ran
his horse violently against SANKEY'S, and
then pretending to believe that Stanley was
the aggressor, turned sharply around and
cut the latter with stick. Stanley had to
challenge Wise of course, and he went to
Reverdy's neighborhood, near Baltimore, TO
learn how to use the pistol. Some say Re-
verdy was teaching him.. At any rate,
Reverdy went out to see him fire one day.
SANKEY'S bullet struck tree and glanced,
shot Reverdy in the eye, brought him down,
and nearly killed him. He lay in bed a
long while, his life despaired of. The
friends Of Stanley and Wise stopped the
duel, and Reverdy's misfortune was kept ont
of the papers" -Washington Letter-H.

Two months ago the land agents here
were sanguine Of having host of visitors
after. the election, and OF disposing Of a
large number of farms. But not many
have yet come, and not oil who did come
have bought. An event is now shorty
looked for of greater moment ooth 10 VIZ
pinia landholders and to those who contem-
plate vesting money in our lands than the
result of a Presidential election-and
that Is the early limitation Of the stay
law. with the great probability, not to say
certainty, that it will not be continued.
This is the cause assigned by such Of our
agents as have been carrying on an
extensive correspondence with northern
gentlemen. We are also informed that
companies are being formed or have been
formed-with ample funds at command, to
invest largely whenever our lands are
thrown on the market. Even already, du-
ring the present season, right good farms
with comfortable buildings have been sold
under trust deeds in some Of the adjoining
counties at two dollars, and in fact as low
as one dollar per acre. And unless the
competition among strangers is more active
than We fear it may be, it is appalling to
think Of the great sacrifice of property
during the next year. 1t may all work
we'll in the end, and we trust it may, but
it will be by the ruin Of q large majority of
the land proprietors. 5.
