absent exactly three mouths. commence
ing with the iirst "f June, but proposes
10 remain away until the beginning Of
October. During This time, he has
drawn from the Treasury 5000, and
has passed parts OF three days in Wash
imgton. or ut the rate Of one day per
month, for which he has received the
compensation of 81 oS3 II day. In other
words Gen. Grant, for signing his name
during these rare visits, has pockctcd
the wages Of fourteen hundred laboring
men. who work ten hours and receive
81 80 each. So that il is something to
be President in n practical point Of view,
when the incumbent gets $a5.ODOa year
for amusing himself, and Is presented
with bonds. houses. and horses to the
extent of halfa million. No wonder he
seeks reelection.

who lives in Martin county, had q pair
Of mules in a wagon, and some Of his
harness getting out of fix, he stepped
from the wagon scat on the tongue to
fix it, when the mules became frightened
and started to run, and he fell between
the tongue and wagon, one Of his legs
getting caught in the splices Of the
tongue. aud in this position was dragged
some distance before the team was stop
ped. When taken up, it was found his
leg was broken and ono side of his body
badly bruised. lie had his wife and

the wonder is no more serious injury
was done.
The mules started to run again, AFTER
wards. but the tongue Of the wagon ran
into a stump and stopped them.
