INTERESTING INCIDENT.

Miss Sallie A. Brock, of Virginia, who
is now on a visit to Rome, is furnishing
a series of interesting letters from the
Eternal City to the New York Metropoli-
tan Record. From her last letter, dated
February 10Th, we make the following
interesting extract, which will be read with
pleasure by every admirer Of that great
and good man, StonewalI Jackson. After
describing her visit to the church of St:
Maria di Avail Coeli, Miss Brock writes
as follows:
From the church continued my walk
towards the palace Of Cesar, and as |
stood attempting to read an inscription on
the arch of Septimus Severus, an incl
dent occurred which | think we'll worth
relating-at least that sent me onward
with feeling of pride in my heart which
must have been akin to that which
many a Roman woman has experienced
at mention of certain names that give a
brighter glory to Rome.
Wishing some information ] ventured
a question to friendly priest, who passed
me. At that moment a French soldier,
in the uniform of the Ponti6cal Zouaves,
approached and politely lifted his hat.
When the priest had given me answer,
he said:
care you not an American LADY,"
81 am"
care you not from the States of the
South ?"
proudly confessed my nativity, and a
gratifed smile lighted up his sunburnt
visage.

claimed. Il cannot mistake the accent.

You may rest assured I was not slow in
extending him my hand and expressing
gratitude in all the language / could at
the moment commany.
The priest stood in establishment, net
understanding the remarkable demonstra-
ton.
"A great mana great man Stonewall
Jackson waslp continued the soldier,
while a shade Of the deepest sadness set
tied over his countenance, and he touched
his hat and passed on.

INVITING ON FACTs.-The following pas
sage occurs in the late speech of Senator
2evels:
st was the sable sons of the South that
valiantly rushed 20 the rescue; and but for
their intrepidity and ardent daring many a
Northern fireside would miss to-day pater-
nal counsel or brothers love. Sir, l re-
peat the fact that the colored race saved to
the noble women of New England and the
Middle States the men on whom they lean
to-day for security and safety. Many of my
race, Representatives of these men on fields
of battle, sleep in the countless graves of
the South"
This is a very direct and pertinent aIlu-
sion to the fact that the husbands and sons
of "the noble women of New England and
the Middle States" instead of going to war
in their individual capacity, went into the
market and bought black anu yellow substi-
tutes at so much head, and sent them to
assist in filling 1.-THE countless graves in the
South.r The Radical love tor the negro
consists principally in using his person as
food for powder, and using his vote to per-
petuate Radical power.-St. Louis Republi-
can.

Fourth colored Senator-If you don't dry

ADVICE ABOUT HOGS.

A writer in Chester county, Pa, the
original home of the Chester white hog,
sends the following sensible hints to the
Planter and Farmer: 'No animal deteri-
crates faster than swine The trough is
great element In the character of a hog
he is amazingly like dandy. To keep
him in first rate trim he soon eats his head
off; yet, if he has to hunt his food, even
with the slightest effort, he soon becomes
too enterprising to be fine specimen
AS soon as pig becomes enterprising, he
ceases to be a Chester county white. -
Dame Nature soon fits him to this new
order of things; his nose lengthens, the
disposition to use it also increases, his legs
grow longer, his sides flatten, his hams
lose their plumpness, and in one or two
generations he is match in race for
any ordinary dog. At least this is our
experience. If you want to keep up the
breed of good hogs, keep no more than
you can Keep so lazy they will not grunt.
