A LEAP FOR LIFE.-The Sumter (Ga.) Re-
publican, after giving an account of destruc-
tive fire in that town, notes the courageous act
of young lady as follows:
"There is one act connected with this calam-
ity deserving particular mention, which caused
display of bravery and courage never sur
passed and but seldom equalled, and which
marks its author as a perfect heroine. Miss
Sallie Maxwell in her efforts to save every
thing of value in the house that she could, was
delayed in the second story of the building un-
til the fire had destroyed the lower story so
much that there was danger of the walls falling
in every minute. Seeing her danger, she ga
thered few articles for the purpose of taking
O final leave of the house. On entering the
hall from the room she was in, to her horror
and dismay she saw that the stairs was in o
solid sheet of fame. There was only one way
of escape now, and that was through the upper
windows where the fiery element had not COM
municated itself. Going out on the top of the
colonade her awful situation was Immediately
realized by the crowd below, and the anxiety
depicted on every countenance showed the deep
feeling that stirred the soul of every one. A
ladder was brought, but it was too short to
reach the roof, and was of no avail. With the
cracking flames behind and around, and ma
king the most rapid headway imaginable, eve
ry moment was precious computation. The
only chance for life now was to jump from the
high place on which she was standing A mat
trass was brought, and being firmly held by
strong men, with spirit undaunted and intre-
pid, she made the leap from the point she oc-
cupied, embracing in its curve at least sixty
feet, reaching the ground with comparative
safety, and, with the exception of the shock
and concussion of so high jump, entirely un-
hurt"

A CANDID ApM1ss1oN.-The Charleston
Daily Republican makes the following honest
confession in regard to the operations OF the
Land Commission
The land commission ought to have been the
strongest point of the Republican administra-
ton in the recent campaign. Itwas theweak.
est. Why? Not more because of the belief
that money was weongfully made out of the ap.
preparation than because that as matter of
fact very few families have been actually. set
tied on farms of their own. There has been
great haste to buy lands, and, in most counties,
culpable slowness in distributing them.
The land commission may now redeem itself
if the advisory board andthe commissioner will.
1t has, we are told, purchased one hundred
thousand acres of land. Five thousand FAM
lilies are waiting for that land. Let it be at
once surveyed and distributed. The people arc
now getting in their crops and their money.
Many can make small payment. During the
coming few weeks they want to decide what they
are to do for the next year. 1t is not enough
must be put in their possession. Nor is 1T
enough to promise them land ih q little while.
They want it now, so as to build fences, clear
ND and prepare for next years crop.
Every acre of land bought by the State ought
to be surveyed and offered to thrifty families
within the next four weeks. It can be done
easily.
The Land Commissioner ought to report to
the General Assembly, during the first week of
the next session, the total amount and location
of all lands, with q complete survey of all and
that all are in the hands, or ready to be placed
in the hands, of our laboring people. There
must be vigorous and efficient work In this mat
ter at once.

- The Sleeping Beauty, of Kentucky, Miss
Susan Godsey, of whom SO much has been said
the past few years about her having slept for
twenty wears, or thereabouts, with only short
intermissions for rest and refreshments, has
been taken to st. Louis and sat on by coro-
ner's jury of doctors, who pronounced her a
gigantic humbug. It always looked like
humbug. The idea that any woman, endowed
by nature with tongue, and such weapons OF
aggressive warfare, should deliberately sleep
for years, when there were men around con-
tinually that she could practice on with her
tongue, was simply absurd. We are glad. tor
many reasons, that Susan has been proved to
be sell, and expect that she will now make up
for the lost time, By taking the stump In favor
of female suffrage, or something.
- 1t will be remembered that the Emperor
Napoleon himself pronounced the famous
words, "The Empire is peace" at Bordeaux, in
the year 1866. After the Emperor left the city,
the most prominent merchants of Bordeaux
held meeting, and as the above quoted impe-
rial words had been spoken in one OF the halls
of the Exchange, they resolved to preserve
them to posterity. So they had them engraved
in large gold letters on beautiful marble slab,
which was placed in the hall OF the Court OF
Commerce. But few Sundays ago an immense
crowd haStene0 10 tnat piace. ahu III iees su"i'
five minutes the communicative slab flew into

Mrs. Partington, on reading an account Of
a schooner having her job-boom carried away
on Long Island Sound, one night last week,
wondered "why people would leave such things
out O doors nights, to be stolen, when there
were so many burglars about, filteriDg every
thing they could lay their hands to-"
Mark Twain has this advice for young
men with literary aspirations: "Write without
pay until somebody offers pay. If nobody offers
pay within three years, the candidate may look
upon this circumstance with the most explicit
confidence as the sign that saving wood is what
he was intended for.n

A RrArr1ru1, TR1pUrE FROM THE NoRrT

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE FROM THE NORTH.
The New York Herald has an eloquent no
tice, which will be read with unalloyed satis-
faction. We take the following from it:
On quiet autumn morning, in the land
which he loved so we'll, and, as he held, served
so faithfully, the spirit of Robert Edmund Lee
left the clay which it had 80 much ennobled,
and travelled out of this world into the great
and mysterious land Yesterday, the express
sions of regret which sprang from the few who
surrounded the bedside of the dying soldier and
Christian will be swelled, to-day, into one
mighty voice of sorrow, resounding throughout
our country, and extending over all parts OF the
world where his great genius and his many vir-
tues are known. For, not to the Southern peo-
pie alone shall be limited the tribute OF tear
over the dead Virginian. Here, In the North,
forgetting that the time was when the sword of
Robert Edmund Lee was drawn against US
forgetting and forgiving all the years OF blood
shed and agony-we have long since ceased to
look upon him as the Confederate leader, but
have Claimed him as one of ourselves; have
cherished and felt proud of his military genius
as belonging to us have recounted and recor-
ded his triumphs as our own have extolled his
virtues as rejecting honor upon US ; for Robert
Edmund Lee was an American, and the great
nation that gave him birth would be, to-day,
unworthy Of such son if she regarded him
lightly.
Never had mother nobler son. In him
the military genius of America was developed
to greater extent than ever before. In him
all that was pure and lofty in mind and pur-
pose found lodgment. Dignifed without pre-
sumption, affable without familiarity, he united
all those charms and manners which made him
the idol Of his friends and his soldiers, and won
for him the respect and admiration of the world.
Even as in the days of his triumph, glory did
not intoxicate, SO when the dark clouds swept
over him, adversely did not depress. From the
hour that he surrendered his sword at Apo.
matto1 to the fatal autumn morning, he passed
among men noble in his quiet, simple dignity,
displaying neither bitterness nor regret over the
irrevocsb[e past, He conquered us in misfor-
tune blythe grand manner in which ne sustain,
ed himself, even as ne dazzled Us by ms genius
through the valleys of Virginia:
! And for such man we are all in tears and

sorrow to-day. Standing beside his grave, men
of the South and men Of the North can mourn
with all the bitterness of four years of warfare
erased by the common bereavement. May this
unity of grief-this unselfsh manifestation over
the loss Of the Bayard of American the sea-
son of dead leaves and withered branches which
his death ushers in, bloom and blossom like the
distant coming spring into the flowers ofa hear
tier accord

A private letter from Lexington relates

A private letter from Lexington relates
two remarkable incidents that occurred the day
General Lee died. A large eportrait of the Cen
eral, which was hanging in the parlor of his
house, fell to the floor, breaking the heavy
frame surrounding it. A large photograph of
him hanging in the photograph gallery in the
town, fell about the same time, and broke into
pieces. There was, apparently, no disturbing
cause or force to produce these accidents.

from temporary insanity. While under
