sons term is nearly at its close. Twenty
two more days and he will af1ict us no
longer; we could endure that long if he
was Nero himself with the same good
prospect which is now before as. Andy
will go back to Tennessee and after a
desperate struggle to obtain some posi-
ton Of prominence will at last settle back
upon the same shelf with Tyler, Fillmore
and Pierce. The highest distinction he
will achieve will probably be to become
the standard chairman of sorehead con.
ventions; but his opinions will be no more
sought after or cared for than those of
any other ex-alderman Of Greenville, and
the country at large will care nothing
where he lives, what he does or when he
dis. A more impressive instance OF
wasted and misused opportunities does not
exist.

SUE MURPHY.-This woman's case has
attracted considerable attention in our
State from the fact that Senator Howe
voted in favor Of allowing the claim in
opposition to most Of the other Repubi-
cans in the Senate. The Chicago TriB-
une censured Howe severely, but We be-
lieye that the latter's explanation will be
satisfactory to all his friends. He does
not favor paying for property taken in
the enemy's country during. the progress
of war, even if the owners were loyal.
But in this case the property was in a
district unoccupied by the enemy and in
the permanent possession of the U. S.
troops;'a house belonging to Sue Murphy
was torn down to make room for fortifi-
cations. If she had been loyal it was as
proper to pay for her house in Alabama
as if it had been situated on the shore of
Lake Mich igan, and had to be removed
to make way for Notifications there. IF
the property had been munitions of war
or provisions which the Government would
have had to buy, it would have been no
less right to pay a loyal person within
our lines in Alabama than in Wisconsin
for them. Now that the loyalty of the
lady is doubted, Howe will not vote for
her claim till she has proved the doubt

DANGEROUS KITE FLyINa.-A young
lad at Lake Station, Mississippi, had large
kite presented to him, about six feet by four
in size, which he attempted TO fly the other
day, just as the wind was increasing and a
storm was threatening. The wind drew
the kite SO heavily as to drag the boy along
also. To prevent loosing his favorite, he
wound the cord around his body. AT last
the wind bore the kite and boy upward,
until the young kiteflyer caught in the top
Of tree, and was suspended seventy-iive
feet above the ground. Ailood Of rain came
on, abating the wind and allowing the lit

be unconscious, and SO bruised and marred
as to be unrecognized, but was restored the
same evening and is now doing well.
