Coz. L. w. MUNFoRD, who served
en- Gen. JoHSsToN's Stain the Con-
federate army, recently delivered 8
lecture in Memphis, on the life and
character of that distinguished OIL
ser in which he related the following
anecdste, showing bis scern of base
ness:
"WhiIe the army was at Bowling
Green, a man claiming to hail from
Nashville, presented himself at head
quarters and inquired for Col. Nun
FORD. Being shown in, he said a
certain friend of his had directed him
to make his (Col. MUNFoRD's) ac-
auaintance, so he had something to
communicate. Col. MUYFoRD saw
he only desired to get into converse
ton with the General, and he was
presented. He was q glib talker, but
had a countenance at once acute, sin
lister and malignant. The General
gazed upon him with steady eye as
the follow went on TO tell how "above
all earthly things he had the South
ern country at heart, that he believed
ANDREW JOHNSON was the most dan
gerous enemy we h<afn Tennessee,
if not in the whole South, and that
his death would be public bene-
faction that he knew JOHNSON, just
where he was in outh-eastern Ken
lucky, and that he could easily be
disposed of III a trif rg cost of
money" The General rose from his
scat and said: "Sir, the Government
which | serve meets its enemies in
open, honorable warfare, and scorns
alike the assassin's knife and the dia-
bolical scoundrel who would suggest
its use Gen. JOHNSTON then turned
TO Mr.. MUNFoRp and said: "1his
scoundrel wanted me TO bribc him TO
assassinatc ANDREW JOHNSON"

Ts. Pearl Fishery ef Panama

The i-ihmu. which forms the houn-
dAry between North and a,Hth Anne
riC& might, In the possession Of All en-
ierprisiug nation, te rendered a fertile
source of pros pertiy. Al the eKtrem-
iiy Of the Bay of Psnsms is sn srclii-
pelsgO, consisting of msnr islands,
and near the coast lies considerable
bank of pearl oysters. These oysters
produce pesris OF 8 lsr.e sixs, though,
IN Ioint Of beauty and regularity, 'hey
are inferior to those of India.
All the inhsbitant, OF Panama aud
vicinity who are in easy ciTcjmstan-
ces, keep negroes, vino dive 10 procure
pearls ior their masters. They sge
dispatched 10 the ,sISnd9, who're iCnts
aud boats are kept in readiness.
Eighteen OF twenty OF these pocr ne
Groes, who are excellent swimmers,
and who possess tue power " holding
in their breath for q considerable time,
are under the control OF su overseef
They swim around under the water
until they fiud q hank of oysters,
where the sea is not more than tsn,
twelve or fifteen fathoms deep. The
negroes then ascend to the boat aud
east anchor. They tie AROUND their
waists rope, one end OF which is fas-
tened to the boat, and jump into the
sea, taking small weight 10 enable
them to descend the more expeditions
ly. On reaching the bottom, thed
SEXES an oyster, which he places under
his,left arm, another III his right hand,
a third under his right arm, a fourth
in his left hand, another in his mouth.
He then ascends to take Sreath, and
to deposit the oysters in 2 little bag
in the boat. As soon as he recoyers
himself he dives second time, and so
on until he is tired, or has fished a
sufficient number OF oysters. Each of
these negro divers must supply his
master with q certain number of
pearls daily. When the negro has
fished as many oysters as he thinks
sufficient, he opens them in the pres
ence of the oyerseer, and delivers to
him the pearls, whether small or large,
perfect or imperfect, until he has COM
pleted the number due to his master;
the remaining are the property of the
negro, who usually sells them to his
master. The negroes sometimes en-
counter great danger from monstrous
fish, and the nasntas,n which seize
the divers so forcibly that they stifle
them, or by falling upon them crush
them at the bottom Of the sea.

The South In 1866.

IL the latter part of 1860 General
GRANT, in his official capacity, made
tour of inspection through the
South 70 ascertain Gle condition OF
affairs, and, as he stated, "to learn, as
far as possible, the feelings and in
tentiops of the citizens of those States
toward the General Government
In the 18th of December he submit
ted his report TO the President, in
which he said:
am satisfied that the mass OF
the South accepted the present situa-
ton of affairs in good faith. The
questions which have heretofore d.
vided the sentiments of the people of
the two scctions-slavery and States,
rights tor the right ola State to secede
from tho UniOn-they regard as havign
been settled forever by the highest
tribunal-arms--that man can resort
TO. was pleased to learn from the
leading men whom ! met that they
not only accepted the decision ar
rived at as final, but, now that the
smoke OF battle has cleared away, aud
time has been given for reflection
that this decision.has been a fortunate
one for tho whole country, they re-
cciving like benefits from it with
those who opposed them In the field
and in council.
There is such universal acquies-
csnco In the authority OF the General
Government throughout the portions
Of ths country visited 10y ME that the
mere presence Of a military force,
without regard TO numbers, 10 sufh-
cient 20 maintain order.
Tho late slave seems 10 be imbued
with the idea that the property Of his
late master should by right belong TO
him. or at least should have no pro-
tccticu from the colored soldier.
There is danger of collisions beisg
brought on by such causes.
Ny observations lead me ts the
conclusion that the citizens of the
Southern States are anxious 10 return
to self-government within the Union
as soen as possible; that while re-
constructing they want and require
protection from the Government :;
that they are in earnest in wishing to
do what they think is required by the
Government. not humiliating to them
as citizens, and that if such course
was pointed out they wOuld pursue it
in good faith. 1t is to be regretted
that there cannot bs a greater com
,ningling at this time between the
citizens Of the two sections, and par
ticulaFly Of ethOse ntrusted with the
law making power.
Ifthc condition of affairs described
by the General in his report has
changed since then, who is response
BILE? Tie control ot the Southern
States tros taken out of tie hands Of
President Johnson and gicen 10 Gen
eral GRANT as CommaHdcr-iH- Chiet
Jy the R0dtcdl Congress -; afterwards
he became President, and ever since
has had complete control.

Ina deserted shopin Pjttsiield, Mass,
there restD on its block en- anvil that
has done duty for more ths n three
hundred years. Ii is as sound to-day
as Ii was in 1893, when EltwOod Pom
eroy, after welding for the Staurts the
pOnderous horse-shoes OF the same
style and pattern that his ancestors
had made during many generations
for the Tudors and plantagenets, grew
weary of taxes without law aud work
without wages, and taking his anvil,
sailed for the New World. \ deft
workman, he throve in the settlements,
and left his anvil as au heirloom TO
bis descendants. They show you in
the town ofLon6on the anvil Oh which
the sword was forged that Richard
Coeur de Lion used In his famous con-
test with Saladin. At the collection
Of Pompeiian antiquities in Naples,
there is an anvil, made certainly he
fore the Christian era, which had evi-
IDENTIFY done service for the stalwsrt
workmen OF many generations before
the city was barred, But, better still,
in the Egyptian room OF the British
Museum, there is a veritable anvil Of
the PharaOls.
