MYSTERY OF A PALAcE-Nlany and Won
derful are the mysteries OF palaces. The
newspapers Of Vienna relate how a sentry
at the royal residence saw female figure, in
long white VEIL issue from the apartments
of the late Archduchess Sophia. Again and
again the vision appeared and disappeared,
eluding the vigilance of the sentry; but one
night he came up with the spcctrcand thrust
his lnyonct into his back. Then il turned
out to be beardless young man, 1T first
taken for priest. He proved TO be mortally
wounded; and what is remarkable is that
the soldier who killed him has been locked
up in all isolated cell, while the court main
tainS an absolute silence on the event.

Messrs. EDITORS: 1t is not great while
now until the election, by the people, to
fill the office of Judge Of the Criminal
Court, of this district. We think that
Maury should be willing to coDcede the
office to some of the Of; her counties, and
we have in fact heard of no one here who
desires the office. ..f 3D..
Cannot Colonel w. S. McLemore, of
Williamson County, be induced to run?
would make an excellent Judge, and
the people everywhere are looking to
him as the proper man. His integrity
ofcharacter, strict adherence to princi-
pie and duty. and his chivalrous conduct
during the war, and at all times, make
him the peoples favorite. If he becomes
a candidate he will be elected by an
overwhelming majority, and lie will
poise the scales OF justice with an even
hand. Let him but declare himself and
old Maury will go to him in solid
column. Let him but sound the signal,
The blast Of his trumpet will unite the
district. MANY VOTERS.

Three Months i'm the Wilder

Mr.. FRANK CARTER, better known
as, "WAD," of Williamson county
has Just returned from South Ameri'
ca. q lie left New York in the latter
part of last summer, for Venezuela,
aaJ arrived there about the first OF
September. Shortly after his arriv.
al there he joined party to seek the
head OF the Orinoco, where it was
said there was an abundance of gold.
His road was through an untraveled
country aud none but the most
darins would ever have attempted
to cross it. After travelling four or
five days and getting far out from
the habitation of man, his compan-
ions all became alarmed or dis
couraged and returned, leaving him
alone. With no companion but his
donkey, and no protection but HE
gun, he resolved to make the trip
alone, nothing daunted because bis
associates had deserted him. On he
plodded his sluggish way, often times
having to cut his way through the
dense forests, and often his way was
difficult and impeded by rivers,
boys and fens, so that he could travel
but a short distance in a whole day.
Once plunged into the wilderness it
was about as easy to go forward as
to return. After travelling few
weeks through the damp and dismal,
and seemingly endless woods, he
descended from his hammock one
morning and found that his donkey
was dead. Shortly afterward he
broke his gun. Who can picture
more unenviable predicament. In
the gloomy and intcrminable forests
of South America, a foot, with no
means OF protection and not morsel

Ii is proposed by some puritani'
cally disposed Congressman TO amend
the constitution so that the existence
of God will he recognized in it. A
national convention recently met in
Cincinnati to organize for the pur-
pose of aiding the passage of the
amendment. Why do these pinks-
ofperfection insist upon the recog-
nition of G cd in our organic law so
earnestly, aud yet neglect to rccog-
nize him in their daily walk and
conversation. These modern day
Pharisees would be better employed
endeavoring to get Goodness in the
people, instead of the constitution.
