NEE."-Thc telegraph yesterday an
uounced that Mrs. COlburn, "nEe" Bul'
| fenbarper, was at her old home III Lon
! don, Ohio. In every exchange which we
| looked at yesterday we found this same
"nfe," notwithstanding the fact that But
fenbarger was the name of Mrs. Colblrn
first husband, and not her maiden name
"N6e" mcaus "born." ana pretlNcd 10
! name 81 gnifics that Il married lady was oorf.
TO the possession of that name. we nae
expected better things of the Richmond
Dispatch, for instance, than to hnu S''ch Il
latsus i'll its classic Colunns.-PctefS0u'g
1uder.
The kilograms received in Richmond
| after night are sent directly to the comp"s'
ing-room. They are not seen by us until
they appear in the paper. The IndeI does
us manifest injustice, therefore, in seeking
to pat";i' :s,n?Ifa ;d tnat we are so inexpress-
IDLY stupid as not to know the ditls renee
between the meaning of the word "nee'
and the meaning of the word formerly"
Years ago, possibly before the h1der man
ever wrote newspaper article, we pointed
out the difference. But rs ignorance makes
ten times as many new words and mean
ings for words as knowledge, and rs ignor-
ance has succeeded in making the word
" transpire" to mean "happen," we have
no doubt that formerly" will before
many years be given in the best OF dictiOn-
aries as one of the definitions of "nfe,"
or HnS."

IT has heen rl,mored about that the VEN
cradle father OF President GRANT has re-
signed the office of postmaster at CovIng-
ton, Ky. That he should do such thing
as resign a good Office is matter OF gene
raj surprise in this day. when Mr.. JEFFER-
sons remark of officers, that few die and
none resign, is more than ever true. That
sharp paper, the Cincinnati Commercial,
thinks that the venerable gentleman had
only one great anxiety, and that was to see
the Administration of his son "periect
success" and having, as he thinks. seen this
glory, he is willing to lay down the cares and
give up the vanities of life. Philanthro-
pists will be gratified that the delusion has
afforded thus much satisfaction to the ola
gentleman. That is about all the behenI
that is likely to flow from GRANTS success
in administration. 1t is 1iliai act, that OF
putting an aged father swcetly to rest.

The people of Edinburgh have taken con-
sid cradle liberty with chronology IN cele-
brating the centennial anniversary Of the
birth of Sir WALTER SCOTT on the 9th of
August instead of the 10Th, the day he was
born. Reasons for such change could not
possibly be satisfactory. They might as
we'll have selected any other day in the
year as the 9th. as that was no more the
real anniversary Of the coming into the
world of the great novelist than any other
day OF the year. One distinguished jour-
nal, inspired by mania of aversion for the
Bonapartes, is gratifed by the change be.
cause the French have for many years cele'
btated the glory of NAPOLEON BoNAPARTE
on the 10Th of August, his birthday. This
is very poor qualification, indeed /; not at
all sufficient to compensate for the outrage
upon truth involved in celebrating the
wrong day as if it were the right one.
These small prcjudices are very con.
temptible. NAPOLEON BoNAPARTE was born
on the same day of the month with Sir
WALTER SCoTT-Sir WALTER in It'll and
NAPOLEON in 1863. But what reason Is
there for the admirers of the genius OF
ScoTT to be ayerse to celebrating his fame
on the 18th because the French formerly
did like honor TO NAPoLEON's memory on
that day? NAPOLEON was one OF the great
est men that the world has produced, and
his birthday is all the more noted for bis
being born uponit. Generous men should,
if days are to be sanctitied or scandalized
for giving birth TO famous or infamous men,
regard the 10Th with peculiar interest, be-
cause 1t produced one Of the most wonder.
full men that have lived. Sir WALTER would
have been the last OF all men to have put q
day under the ban because it gave birth to
so great man, whatever may have been
his sentiment towards him, and it was moi
the most favorable.
=. The 10th of August is noted for having
given birth to these great men, and i76t
brought into the world the two great adj
versaries in the worlds history-NAPOLEos
and WELLINGTON. WELLINGTON on May
list, NAPOLEON on August 14th. 1t was nc
doubt agreeable to WELLINGTON that be
was born In the same year with the re.
noWned warrior whom he yanquisbed. But
really days have little to do with such mat
tiers. They, indeed, mark the occurrence
Of events; and there can be no good reason
for selecting one day to celebrate an event
which happened upon another.
With regard especially to NAPOLEON, the
evident satisfaction which the journal be-
tore alluded to derives from the fact that
there will be no honors TO his memory In
France on Tuesday next, Is proof of very
narrow mind. The glory of NAPOLEON viii
ever shed it's brilliance over the history Of
France. 1t constitutes the great wealth Of
that history, and no change, no political
revolution can ever dim It's lustre, or erase
the memory OF the greatest man that ever
} lived In France from the hearts of the
French people.
IL Is proper that we should state Ia this
article that the 10Th TUESDAY ne2f|, is the
day selected for the Scott festival in Scot.

two men were shot-one killed and
the other seriously wounded. The
particulars, as related by Justice
Glover, are as follows:
