THE CITY.
WEATHER BOUND.
The ladies, Complaints.

| The Ladies, Complaints.
We commiserate the fate of the ladies' at
being so long housed up by the unusually
bad weather, and really We are becoming
weary ourselves at not seeing them on our
streets. 1t Is too bad, that Just at the
commencement of merry springs fashion
and sparkling months, they should be i'm
prisoned at home by sleet and rain, and
damp winds and mud. If we were the
wind-king We would blow murky clouds
away at breath, fan their cheeks with
south-zephyrs, and scatter roses and vioIets
on the streets and sidewalks for their dear
little feet. Really, time seems to have
yielded to the oft-repeated entreaties of a
popular song, and to have rolled back in
his flight and gotten to January in his re-
tro-journeying
1t is not hard to tell on whom the unsea-
sonable weather weighs most heavily, the
gentlemen who are compelled to be abroad
in it, o. tho ladies who are constrained by
1t to stay at home-that, too, Just when the
show cases are all in blossom, and springs
falry-like fabrics are SO invitingly displayed.
Many feminine murmur has reached the
ears OF our understanding and awakened
our sympathies for them
incarnation ofyouthful loneliness, con-
templates with apensive sigh a fresh spring
walking suit of the latest style, idly hang
ing in the recesses of the armour sent
homo from the dress-maker's last week, the
charmingest love of hat Just home from
the milliner's, tasseled gloves, and little
mites of CATERS calculated to make an i'm
preston on the curious in sach matters, in
inverse proportion to the dainty impress
on the dust of the crossings-but the cold
winds mil blow-the warm sun tcon't
shine, and she cannot go forth in the pam
oply of conquest and beauty.
A housekeeper of the old school, forced
by the cold to defer the spring house clean
ing, gives a melancholy glance at a
gossamer web in one corner of
the lofty ceiling, sadly surveys
the various blemishes on walls and win
dows, halls and galleries, and shaking her
head, mournfully says: ''The last of April
never found my house in this condition be-
fore. Times are not as they once we're"
The careful mother of large family ex-
claims ID desperation: ''If this weather
continues the noise of all the children in
the house will run me distracted; Jimmy
will have to have a new overcoat after ALL
Mary cannot 60 to Sundayschool again in
that old hat, and it will never be warm
enough for her new one. We will need
another ton of coal, and green peas won't
be in the market before September, and
what we are to do for pies and things with
the fruit all killed, don't know"
These are among the just murmurings of
the last week. But cheer up, ladies'; the
most charming weather you ever saw will
be blooming upon you in a few days.

THE CHEROKEE ROSE.

The legend of the Cherokee rose is as
pretty as the flower itself. An Indian
chief of the Seminole tribe was taken
prisoner by his enemies, the Cherokees,
and doomed to torture, but fell so Sc
riously i'll that it became necessary TO
wait for his restoration to health before
committing him TO the fire. And as he
lay Frustrated by disease in the cabin of
the Cherokee warrior, the daughter of
the latter, a young dark.faced maid,
was his nurse She fell in love
with the young chieftain, and wish
ing to save his life, urged him TO escape !;
but he would not do so unless she would
flee with him. She consented. Yet be-
fore they had gone far, impellcd by soft
regret at leaving home, she asked permits
sion of her lover TO return, for the pur-
pose of bearing away some momento of
it. So, retracing her footsteps, she broke
a sprig from the white rose which climbed
up the poles of her fathers tent, and, pre-.
serving it during her flight through the
wilderness, planted it by the door of hel
| new home in the land of the Seminolcs.
And from that day this beautiful flowel
has always been known between the cape.
of Florida and throughout tie Southern
States by the name of the Cherokee rose

Decoration of the Confederate
ErnveS

The ladies Of the Memorial Association
are taking steps and making arrangements
for the annual decoration, with flowers,
eyergrecns and immortelles, of The graves
of our dead soldiers who fell in the great
struggle for Southern independence. The
decoration will take place carly in May,
when all the blossoms of the years floral
month viii bloom as brightly as their OVID
immortal deeds. The ground is halIowed
and historic where sleep these battle
SCARED veterans, and it is but meet that
their graves should be annually twined
with myrtles of memory and roses of love,
gathered, many of them, here near the
homes of their fathers. We can, at least,
give tokens of regret and leave the sin
cense of affection" over their hero dust.
All arrangements will be properly made,
and the decoration, which will be duly
announced, Will be every way worthy the
melancholy occasion.

TERRE HAUTE.

$4,000 Recovered from Thicvcs-A
Lively Race through Field and
Flood.
TERRE HAUTE, IND, April 20.-Sixte en-
Thousand dollars of the money stolen from
the Office of the treasurer of Vermillion
county, has been recovered. A farmer liv-
ing near Clinton saw two suspicious men
last evening, and called to them TO stop;
upon this they ran; the farmer gave chase
and large gang of railroad laborers joined
him in pursuit. Inc fugitives fled to Wa
bash river, pulled off most of their clothing
and jumpedin and swan towards the other
shore.
One of them threw from his possession
a package to enable him to swim faster.
Some of the pursuing party swan out and
secured the package, and found it
to contain SIC, 900 of the missing
money. When the thieves reached the
shore a man tried to stop them, and sue
ceeded in knocking one of them down
with a rail, but the other drew a revolver
and drove their antagonist of, where
upon the two robbers took to the bush,
with no clothing except shirts and drawers
The whole country is stirred up; hundreds
of men are after the robbers, and in their
present condition they can hardly escape
capture.

vaIuobIc RiurRccoyerca.

Last night gentleman as well known
for his honesty and integrity as he is for
his business energy, left at our Office val
liable gold ring worth near fifty dollars, it
being very heavy, and containing a rich
amethyst stone, which he had found few
hours before, with a request that we should
make such notice of the fact as would lead
to the discovery Of the owner. The ring
was taken charge Of, and the notice written.
A short ime after leaving the Office the
finder met young gentleman, connected
with one of the first railroads of the coun-
try, in search of the identical ring. He
Immediately came to the Office and recov-
cred the lost treasure, which he priced
more highly for its associations than for its
intrinsic value. This timely recovery OF
his jewel accounts for the non-appearance
of ''Ring Found" among our special no
tees this morning

ton as Special Envoy.
New YORK, April 19.-The Sun says
Gen. Jordan has left Cuba, on the road to
this country. 1t appears that previous to
the mission of Gen. Quesada to this coun-
try, the President of the Cuban Republic
had requested information from his diplo-
matte representative here as TO the wisdom
of sending here an authorized agent who
could give, from his personal knowledge,
trustworthy details as to the status of the
Cuban Republic, and that MIR. Meralas
Lemus, in reply, warmly urged the mis-
sion to Washington Of Gen. Jordan, as a
person who was not unknown here, and
whose statements would carry conviction.
Gen. Jordan will probably arrive here In
few days, and will disprove, by document
ary evidence, that he has abandoned the
Cuban cause, and proved that the triumph
of the cause is now so certain that he would
have been fool to do so.
Gen. Ignacio Agramonte, who has been
in command in the Cuban ranks since the
outbreak of the revolution, whose patriot
ism is unquestioned, and in whom his
countrymen place entire reliance, has been
appointed to the temporary command-in-
| chief, in the absence of Gen. Jordan.

HAVANA, April 20.-Gen. Valmazeka has
issued two proclamations announcing the
entrance of insurgent forces commanded
by Modesto Diaz into Bayamo district
for a fight. The Canto Abaj oinsurgentsat-
tackled, captured and burnt Capitania and
| Del Homo. After a severe engagement
| during which thirty-fve volunteers and
forty insurgents were killed, the Spanish
wounded escaped miraculously. Six Span.
ish battalions are pursuing the insurgents
to prevent them entering Sierra. Another
body of insurgents are operating on this
| side of Canto.

Fifteenth Amendments Celebration.

The colored men of the city are making
preparations for celebrating, on a grand
scale, the adoption of the Fifteenth Amend
ment. In the way of display there is to be
grand procession through the streets,
with music and banners, while the orator.
cal feature of the occasion is to be conduct
ed by distinguished speakers from abroad.
In this latter connection we hear the names
Of Fred. Douglas and Senator Revels men,
toned, but are not appraised that either
viii certainly be present. An invitation
was yesterday extended to the Mayor, City
Council, Police and Fire Departments, and
other city officers to participate in the cele-
brstion. If they can possibly spare time
from their official engagements, they will
probably avail themselves of the invitation
thus kindly rendered. May is usually a
very busy month with those in charge of
the city government. Theeelebration will,
however, no doubt, be magnifcently grand
in point of numbers and display.

COL. WV. =. IIcCLEMORE.

1t is seldom that the writer of this goes
out of the way to indicate preference
for candidate for Office whom he cannot
vote for, owing to location; but tie an
nouncement of the name of our friend,
Col VIM. S. McLemore, of Franklin, as a
candidate for Judge of The Circuit Court
of that district must be allowed to be an
exception.
We have known Bill McLcmOre in all
the relationships as a school-bOy; then
as law student, afterward as promis-
ing lawyer and an able editor; subse-
quently as County Court Clerk, then rs
Chancery Court Clerk, then as private
soldier, afterward as Captain of a COM
pany, Major, Lieut.. Col. Colonel of a
regiment and Colonel commanding brig
ade-and, after all that, we have seen
him return to the pursuits of private life
with all the force and energy of his ardent
nature, devoting himself to the welfare of
the people; and in all these relations we
have known him as true, high hearted
patriot and exalted Christian gentleman.
If we had thousand votes we would give
them all TO secure his election, in the full
faith that no better man could be elected
to hold with firm and even hand the
scales of justice between man and man,
| and between the State and its citizens.
We bespeak for him a triumphant cleo
ton, let who will oppose him.
