The Late General Pender.
PEA RIDGE, March 29th.

Editors HiHSJ0r0 Rec0rder:-I see from
several papers that the grave of our be-
loved Colonel of the old 18th N. @. Troops
is rot properly cared for, and some of said
papers recommend O Monument to be
placed upon it. Well Messrs. Editors I
have NJ doubt that all of "the Boys" who
were under his command and are living
to-day will contribute freely for said monu-
ment.
l. is weakness in human nature proba-
bly,. but all of his men loved Gen. Pender,
and we still reverence lis memory and all
are willing to give of our ability, to keep
his memory fresh in the hearts of his paen
and il the memory of their children after
VIC have passed away. He was kind to all
good soldiers, and as to bad soldiers it fell
to his lot to have but few. In sickness his
first thoughts were for his men-in pro-
vidipg all the comforts that were to be had
in the Confederate States, no Colonel was
equal to him. Well Go 1 recollect when
our good soldiers were stricken down by
the hand of death, how freely the tears
would roll down the cheek of our dear
Colonel We all loved Gen. Pender and
VIC conld not help it. God bless the man,
he is gone it is true from among us forever
bet his memory will never, no never die
while We live. So let the subscription
start. Yours,

a Most sInguInr Cnse.

For several years past Mrs. Michaux
has lived in a house on Main street, be-
tween Twenty and Twenty third,
with no one else but a brother, who has
been for years harmless lunatic. Moth
ing had been seen of either of them for
several days until Saturday morning, when
the chimney of an adjoining house caught
fire and in the excitement negro man
ran in the house to give the alarm. He
found. on entering the chamber, Mrs.
Michaux on the bed, dead. and her
brother lying by her side almost starved
to death. On being interrogated he said
his sister had been asleep for two weeks.
She had evidently been dead for some
time, although there was no decomposition
of the body, which appeared to be almost
mummifed. 1t is hardly probable that
she starved to death, as eighteen dollars
in United States currency was found in
the house. Two calves in the yard and
several chickens had died from starvation.
She was about fifty years Of age, and is
said to have been very eccentric and to
have had no intercourse with those around
her. The brother was taken to the station
house to be taken care of, and the coroner
notified of the death of the old lady.

General Robert e. Lee.

coast Of Georgia.
winter of 1S17-'1S, at the West Indies for
his health. He sailed from Nassau on the
ship Betsy for Savannah on the 10Th OF
February, 1918.
Instead of landing at Savannah he only
reached Cumberland Island, where he Was
received by Mrs. Shaw, the daughter of
General Greene, at the last home of his be-
loved commander and friend.
He died soon after his arrival, on the
25th OF March, 1918. 1t was doubtless O
consolation to him, as he could not reach
his home, to have his last hours soothed
by the tender care of the daughter of one
SO much revered, and to know that his
remains would be placed by the side of his
comrade in arms.
One incident of his death is worth re-
cording, as showing how his veneration
for Washington and his foudness for ex-
pressing it clung to him to the last. A
surgical operation was proposed, as offer
ing some hope of prolonging his life
The surgeon urging this resort, his patient
put an end to the discussion by saying /:
''My dear sir, were the great Washington
alive and here, and joining you in advo-
eating it, would still resist"
Dungeness is now the property of Mr..
William Nightingale, a grandson of Cen
eral Greene, and whose guest General Lee
is at the present time. This letter will
probably return to Savannah by the end
of the week, and remain here until the
time arrives for his departure for Virginia.
So our Florida freinds, who have ex-
pressed such anxiety to greet the old hero.
will probably be disappointed, unless they
come to Savannah. h.-Savannah RepNbkican.

George Peabody's VIII.

The will Of the late George Peabody,
which was signed by him when in this
country last September, and which was
published shortly after his decease, was
presented for proof at the Essex County
(Mass.) Probate Court on Tuesday. The
amount of property to be disposed of un-
der it's provisions in Massachusetts, is less
than $3.50, 900, and may not exceed $780,
900. 1t consists mostly of securities and
personal effects. The will has also to be
proEated in several other States, in which
portions of Mr.. Peabody's estate were
situated at the time of his decease.

Don Francisco Lopez.


The late Paraguayan President. Don
Francisco Solano Lopez, whose death was
officially announced on yesterday, was
born in the year 1927. He was the son of
Don Carlos Antonio Lopez, who had sue
ceeded the Dictator Vibal as Consul in
1S41, and in 1874 was "elected" President
of Paraguay for ten years, being subse-
quently twice reelected. Don Francisco
received a thorough education, which was
completed in England, and in 1858 he en-
tered public life, being sent by his father
to Europe 10 ratify the treaties of com
merce which had been concluded by Para
quay with England, France and Sardinia.
Don Carlos died in September, 1862, and
on the 10th of October following his son
was unanimously "proclaimed" his sue
cessor. His reign has been a stormy one,
and. dead or alive, Paraguay is in a sadly
dilapidated condition.
Lopez held out against the allies for five
years, The first battle was fought at Cor
rientes, April 13, 1865. He leaves a large
family, one son being in New York city
pursuing course of legal studies. On
being interviewed on Wednesday this
young man, the hereditary President of
Paraguay according to the old constitu-
ton, stated his disbelief of the story of his
fathers death. He thinks that it is the
usual Brazilian canard to cover defeat.
The Lisbon steamer which brought the
news Of the recent Paraguayan viotory, it
is stated, had as late intelligence as the
Montevideo steamer could have had.

A CURIOUS CALCULATION,

Men have strange vagaries. There is
no limit to the extravagances they com
nit. For instance, our venerable CO.
temporary of the Appeal this morning
alludes TO one of his own sermons when
he had not mounted the tripod:
We remember to have heard from the
pulpit the idea that single wicked man,
having once found his way to the infer.
nal regions, would so grow worse and
worse that after the succession of few
millions of cycles he would reach a
maximum greater than the crimes OF all
the world before him would aggregate,
with all that the devil had done thrown
into the bargain.
Having never been there, we cannot
say, but the story of the revolving cycles
does not tally with our preconceived
ideas of the age of our terrene sphere.
