Our friend, Col. WILLIAMS, OF
the Revenue Department, don't
appear to be very we'll satisfied
with our remarks concerning the
charges against his brother, OF
Offering Whisky iii the market
below Nsmanufaeturihg cost, and
demandaithat we sllouldbe more

ems Us with a subpoena to ap
pear before a "Court of Inquiry"
As we have nothing in our pos
session that we desire to conceal
: ia regard to "Reyenue rotten

tfcle alarmed about being brought
before that honorable body. All
the fdctsfwe know about offering
this Whisky wehave published,

upon the authority and states

Butdwhg3 not subpoena Mr.. Fol
kerth, of Camden? We are free
to saythat, we don't think Col.
Williams himself was a party con-
eeesrn1ed in tho offering of the
Whisky-we are satisfied he was
nof-snd if the "Court of In

his brother to be false and un-
founded, we viii publicly SO state,
eandq rejoice that there is one
"Reyenue District" in which

taosueh proof is brought forth,
not being Satisfied in u mind

that all is e.l~ovely'nin the "Ring,"

As Col. Williams is so valor-
Gus in organizing a "Court of In
qniry' at Hamilton, so remote
from the homicide, that many
who might give in their crpera-
ence, without the expense of the
trip, would it not be we'll for him
to take the back track of his
fright & left bowers. Wilson &
Peters, especially as TO their
manner Of gauging; wherein as
we are reliably informed, it has
been their practice, to 80 select
the barrels, previously gagged,
that, knowing the proof of spirits
and the capacity of the barrels,
they would select such barrels
only asswould contain no frac-
tional gallon, under 5O-1OO of a
gallon, and SO much greater a
fraction, as tire barrels OF hand
would admit OF; thereby gauging
an the interest OF the DistiIler
against the interest of the Gov
eminent, and in violation of Sec.
l., Art. approved July 20, 1868,
Internal kevenne Laws, as well
as in violation Of their official
cath. The Colonel might also
explain, as to the virtue of his
negot:ators, in the canvass of
1869, for the votes of the seven
delegates of western township,
to be cast for their favorite can
didate for a fat Office; for and in
consideration OF which, a certain
worthy should receive the APP
pointment of Store Keeper. They
so voted, and the appointment
was made and still held. In the
days of Adams, Clay and Jack
son, this was called "bargain and

A SPIRITED YOUNG LADY.-Miss Antoni-
nette V. Polk, of Maury county, Tennessee ac-
cordinr to correspondent who writes from
Rome, is quite belle in foreign circles. Her
charms do not consist in pretty face alone,
she is 1.-the and graceful in movement, spark
ling in conversation, and skillful horsewo-
man. In recent fox hunt in Italy the tair
American carried off the palm, there being tor
tv riders in the field. Miss Polk is the daugh-
ter of the late COL Andrew j. Polk, before the
war the owner of the princely estate, Ashwood
She early took to the saddle, and it would seem
that the training of her childhood makes her
all the more lovely and fascinating IN the
bright wears of womanhood. Will not other
Girls bear in remembrance that woman never
looks more queenly than when seated at her
ease on the back of spirited horse? The
Columbia Herald records two incidents in the
life of the American beauty. "Miss Polk has
always been a fine horseback rider, and during
her visit to her home several years ago, she
Mortified her city gallant, one day, when they
were riding together in the woods, by clearing
a fence at a leap while he had to get down and
let down the fence in order to keep up with her,
When Columbia was first occupied by the Fed
eral forces all the roads were picketed by cav
alry, who halted everybody and appropriated
such horses as they thought fit for service
Miss Polk had been in town, and was on her
return homie to Ashwood, when she was stopped
by picket, but was finally allowed to proceed.
She had gone but a short distance, however,
before the Federals noticed that she was riding
very fine animal and called to her to halt.
She had no idea of turning her horse over TO
the enemy, and accordingly set off at full speed
for home, followed by half score of the boys
in blue The chase was an exciting one, ana
lasted for some five or six miles, after which
the pursuers drew rein and the daring girl was
soon safe under the shelter of her own root."

ANEcDoTE OF GEN. TooMBs.-T Toonbs, of
Georgia, is one of the most gifted of all the
erratic geniuses that America has yet produced.
Like Tom Marshall, and William HASKELL he
is q natural born orator. Mr.. Clay heard him
make one of his first political speeches at a
mass meeting in Georgia, in 1910, and predic-
ted for him then brilliant future. 1t is rela-
ted of Toombs that on one occasion, in the tri-
al of very important case before Georgia
Jury, he, by some strange absence of minds got
up and made powerful speech against the
client, who was the plaintiff in the case. Af-
ter he had spoken nearly an hour, and was
about to close, one of his associates whispered
in his ear that he had made mistake-that he
had spoken on the wrong side. For moment
only Toombs was perfectly dumb founded, and
recovering Immediately, he turned to the court,
and said "Now, may it please the court and you
gentlemen of the jury, have in my remarks
hitherto attempted to give you all, and the very
best, too, that can be said on that side of the
case, and though 1t may appear, at first blush,
a very strong case, yet I am confident, if you
will give me your attention little while long
er, will be able to convince you that, after all,
my client, the plaintiff, is entitled to verdict
at your hands," He then proceeded to over
turn every position previously taken by him,
exerting himself to the utmost of his wonderful
ability to repair his mistake, and wound up
with an appeal to the court and jury 80 thrilling
that he carried them by storm and triumphant
ly gained the case for his client.

There are gains for all our losses,
There are balms for all our pain,
But when youth, the dream, departs,
It takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.

under Inanhood's sterner reign,
Still we feel that something sweet

And we sigh for it in vain;
We behold it everywhere,
