French Revenge.

General Duval was made prisoner
on Chatillion Heights, and was on ms
way to Versailles with the several
hundred other insurgent prisoners
captured at the same time, when, at
the crossroads where the Seaux, Par
is, Versailles, and Bieyre roads fork,
the prisoners and guard met General
VinOy, and staff, who were riding TO
ChatilliOn Heights. He ordered the
guard 10 halt, and he dismOunted,
went to the prisoners and said ;
There is among you q Monsieur
Duval who calls himself General, l
should like to see him." General
Duval stepped from the ranks calmly
and with dignity. and said, 81 am
he" General VinOy added And
there are two chefs de battalion also
with you" They also stepped for
ward. General Vinoy said to them:
"YOu are frightful wFetehes; (canail-
les) you shot General Clement Thorn
as and General Leeompte, and you
know your fate.n Turning to the
commander of the guard and said,
Captain, detail platoon Of ten rifle
men, and do you, gentlemen, 90 with
him to yOndeF field. !" The insurgent
officers quietly walked to the spot in
dieated, a narrow field on the road 10
MeudOn, and lying on the northern
side Of a white boundary wall, on
which is painted in very large letters,
"Duyal Garden.n In front Of this
wall General Duval and his eOmpan-
ions stood, threw off their coats, and
placed themselves before the platoon
charged with their execution. When
the muskets were leveled at their
breasts they shouted ''ViVe Ia Com
munel" and the next instant fell
eorpses.- World Parts Letter.

Finger Calculation.

A correspondent of the London
/ Atheneum says: The reference Oi
I Prof. De Morgan to the employment
Of the fingers for purposes Of notation
induces me to speak Of the very in
I genious application, in China, Of this
I living abaeus to arithmetical calcula-
ton, Of the facility it gives for the
settlement Of accounts, and the easy
solution Of all sums, whether Of ad-
ditiOn, subtraction, and multipliea-
ton, or division, from one up to 8
Z hundred thousand. Every finger on
the left hand represents nine figures,
the little finger the units, the ring
Z finger the tens, the middle finger the
hundreds, the fore finger the thOus-
ands, the thumb the tens OF thOus-
ands. The three inner joints repre-
sent from to 3, the three outer 4 TO 8
the right side TO Q. The fOrefngeT
on the right hand is employed for
pointing 10 the figure to be called into
use thus ] ,234 would at once be de-
noted by Just touching the inside of
the upper joint of the fOrefinger, re-
presenting ], 600; then the inside of
the second, OF middle Joint of the
middle finger, represents 200; thirdly,
the inside OF the lower joint Of the
ring finger, representing 30, and last
ly, the upper joint Of the little finger
touched on the outside, representing
4. Or, again, $3.50 would be repre-
sented by touching the side OF the
thumb 5000 and the lower side Of
the joint Of the fore, middle, and the
little fingers, representing respective
ly 5000 800 80 and 8. The univer-
sal correctness of the aecOuntancy Of
China, when there is no purpose Of
fraud, and the rapidity with which
all trading and commercial accounts
are calculated, are facts of nOtOriety
to all who have any Acquaintance
with purchases or sales made in that
country.

A BRAVE WOMAN.

A lady living on Broadway, near
the corner Of Beacon street, Chelsea,
was in her chamber changing her
dress n few days since. when she
heard q step In the dining-roOm be-
low. A large Newfoundland dog,
which had been lying on the floor in
her room, apparently asleep, started
up at the sound and went down stairs.
AS soon Rs he reached the lower floor
he gave an angry bark that meant
business. The lady hurried on
dress and went down when she saw
q man, an Unlocking fellow, who had
Just taken hold OF a valise in the front
hall, and about the same time had
been seized BY the dog, who had him
firmly by the arm. On the iadyi8 de-
manding of the fellow why he was
there, he told her grufiiy TO call OF
her dog. She glanced at the table In
the dining-room and saw that the sill
veE. had disappeared. and said to the
man: Not until you have produced
my silver"
After an attempted denial, the fell
low produced a handful Of spoons and
forks from his pocket, and again told
the lady to call Off the dog. mot
until you put back the rest Of the sill
ver," said the lady. He reluctantly
pulled the rest Of the silver from
another pocket. The lady, after ad-
Yising the thief to come In the night
the next time, took of the dog, and
told him to smell the fellow, so that
he would know him when he met
him again. which he did with perfect
intelligence. She then ordered the
fellow to walk slowly out CT the front
door, and he willingly obeyed, evil
IDENTIFY very much impressed by his
interview with the lady and her dog.
The lady was entirely alone in the
house, and she managed the affair 80
well, with the aid Of her dog, that
she only has occasion to regret that
she could not give an alarm and
secure the thief The dog Is scarcely
a year old, but his sagaeious behavior
shows that he Is a worthy namesake
Of the great Prussian War Minister,
Won Room, whose name he Bears
Boston Herald.

Major Gladwyn replied that it was
only 20 exercise the men. POtiae dare
not give the signal agreed upon. He
said he had only come to smoke the
pine Of peace and brighten the chain
Of friendship: to which Gladwyn re-
piled, that ne would be good friends
with the Indians as long as they de-
served il, but he would take ample
vengeance for any aggression.
A few days after, Major Gladwyn
saw himself besieged by a great force
Of Indians, who fired at every man
that exposed himself, and strOve by
all means in their power TO set the in
closed town on fire. Week after week
passed. during which no man slept
except In his clothes, and his weap-
ons By his side. The Indians showed
wonderful persistence and daring.
They attacked with great gallantry
the sloops sent with supplies for the
garrison. They drove back with nor
rid slaughter large party Of English
who went out before the dawn OF day
TO attack their camp. From May till
late in October, Pontiac continued to
invest the fort, and only abandoned
it when 8 powerful reinforcement had
doubled the garrison, and the ap-
prOach of winter compelled his fol-
lowers to scatter in order to subsist.
1t was the steady resistance Of Ma
ior Gladwyn and his men that frus-
trated Pontiae's schemes, and saved
the Western country from utter desc
lation.
Soon after, Pontiac made peace
with the Euplish and he aDnaqrs IN
have passed the rest Of his life In
roaming about the country. On the
banks Of the Mississippi, opposite st.
Louis, six years after the siege OF De-
troit, Pontiac was invited by the IlH-
nois to q whisky carOuse. After the
feast, while the great chief was reel
ing through the forest, chanting one
of his old war songs, hireling assas-
sin of the same tribe, for the price Of
a barrel of liquor, stole behind him
and sunk a tomahawk IN his BRAIN
The murderer had been set on to do
this deed by an English trader, who
feared that Pontiac was bent on re-
newing the mischief Of 1858. Pontiac
fell, it Is said, bedizened with a COM
plete major generals uniform. which
had been given him by the Marquis
of Montcalm, the last French Gov.
ernOr of Canada. With fierce Valor
he had fought for the inheritance OF
his people, and died OF q eoWard's
blow after drunken debaueh.

The Tribune on East Tennessee.

The special correspondent of the Tribune
writes from Knoxville an exceedingly
interesting letter about East Tennessee,
the following extract from which we egive
as likely to do us a very great amount of
good. The correspondent after giving
many facts about our climate, soil, &c,
says .-.s r-. ...-.-...
The most important information to a
Northern man wishing to move South is,
after all about the disposition of the peo-
pie among whom he proposes to settle, for
however rich the soil and healthtul the
climate may be, no sensible man will set
up his household gods in q community
where he will be obstracised, abused and
sneered ut as "a id Yankee on account
of his Northern birth and advanced poll
tical opinions, and where rutlians in hide
ours disguise prowl about at midnightand
flog and shoot men for voting n ReDubli-
can ticket, East Tennessee is happily free,
in spirit and in deed, from kukluXism.
Here, rs in no otlTcr part of the South eX-
cept Western North Carolina, there is an
| active Republican party composed of in
telligent native white men. And this par
ty composed is in the majority, electing
| county officers in most of the counties and
sending two Republican Congressman to
! Washington. The people are, however,
kind, sociable, hospitable, and helpful to
each other and they cordially welcome
| new corners. In nine-tenths of all East
Tennessee n Northern man coming to set
| tie in the country would be much more
warmly received than one from the South.
| The people suffered 40 much from theiI
loyalty in the war that they naturally dc
not feel kindly yet toward their late perse-
| cutors the rebels,

From sullivan County.



ARCADIA, Tenn, Aug. 9th, 1871.
TO the Editors of the Chronicie,
An unprecedent drouth has prevailed
this season in large portions of Sullivan.
Many farmers will not raise two bushels
of corn to the acre. Several neighborhoods
i'll the county have not had rain sufficient
to wet the ground thoroughly since corn
was planted ; and to take the county over
II half--nO, not fourth-will be raised.
Yesterday at Kingsport there was a heavy
rain that lasted three hours or more, and
five miles east of there, not drop fell.
But of one thing we think Sullivan may
boast. George Rollen, a farmer on Reedy
Creek, gathered from seven bushels Of
sowing one hundred and eighty-three
bushels of wheat. Who can beat it? Mr..
Rollen's whole crop of wheat, which was
very large too, yielded over eleven bushels
to the bushei's sowing. The fruit season
has really just begun in this county, and
the peach crop is very fine, but premature
ripening has somewhat affected the peach's
juicy swsetness. Large quantities will he
dried, and not II few hundred bushels con-
verted into pure-I'll say it-PoIsoN
Hog cholera in some sections of the
county is literally devastating it of every
thing that even grunts hoggish. Judging
other parts of the country by ours, bacon
can not be so dull another season.
The school at Cold Spring Academy,
winch Is situated near this place, closed
yesterday, and right well may the people
of that neighborhood be justly proud of
their teacher, Mr.. James Dogget, who for
two years has had charge of the school.
Mr.. Doggett has acquired, in the two years
he has been teaching, reputation that
Others. far older might envy.
AS Bobby Newland, little fellow of ten
summers, was returning yesterday to his
home at Arcadia from the closing exercises
tNf fnll l.. II, l.
was riding alone became unmanagable,
ran considerable distance and dashed
him upon the ground, breaking one of his
legs just below the knee and otherwise in
juring hlnl. DR.. Spurgeon was called in,
who set the broken limb and the little
fellow is now resting easy-will get well
soon, we think.
Next Saturday, at Emmanuel Church,
Sullivan county has her first Sunday ySchool
Convention. HENRY.
