Whether the principal assassin,
or some guilty agent Of his, fired
the shot, is,at present, impossible
to tell, but the motive that
prompted the dastardly assault is
one that lives only in the heart of

substitutes for brains, learning,

AN INDIANS WORD OF HONOR.

KEEPING MS PAROLE AND MEETING MS
DOOM.
A gentleman Of Jonesburg. No, re-
Gently returned from Texas, relates
an extraordinary occurrence which
took place short time since in the
Indian Nation. A Choctaw Indian,
having committed willful murder,
was arrested, tried, and sentenced to
be shot to death. He asked for TWEEN
ty days in which to prepare and visit
his friends, giving his word of honor,
as brave" to return at the APP
pointed time, and was allowed to so
forth without guard or bail
At the expiration Of the twenty
days, according TO appointment, the
hour for the execution arrived, and
the Indian, true to his word, at the
very hour and minute, gallopped up
to the place where the sentence was
to be carried out, in company with
three of his sisters and three broth
ors, all appearing as cheerful as
though they had come to a dance or
frolic. The coffin was then brought
on the ground, but some one remark
ed that it was too small, upon which
one of the doomed Indians brothers
told him to lie down in it and meas
urc, which he cheerfulIy did, and
laughingly said, g 1t fits all right"
The crowd meanwhile appeared to
be in the most cheerful spirits, and
cracked Jokes and laughed
At last, when all was ready, the
doomed man was ordered to sit on
the ground. A handkerchief was
then placed over his eyes by his
sister. While she held one hand,
one of the condemned Indians broth
ers held the other on each side of
him. The Deputy Sheriff then stood
in an old out house, about ten steps
in front of the condemned, with a
rifle. From some cause the rifle
went off accidently, the bullet pass
ing up through the roof of the house.
The Indian, believing he was shot,
drew himself up and shuddered, but
did not speak or move from the spot.
A black mark was then made over
the Indians heart, with a spittle of
powder, by his brother, while the
Daputy Sheriff reloaded his rifle,
and at a signal he took steady aim,
fired, and pierced the centre Of the
mark. The Indian, with few strug-
giles, fell back dead, with the sister
and the brother still holding his
hands. No one seemed to be the
least affected except the doomed
Indians mother, who shed tears, but
was told to "shut up" by her son,
that all was over.

The LAWS OF RUSsIA.-One of
the laws of Russia ordains that any
one found in a state of intoxication
upon the highways are condemned,
without regard to their social sta
ton, to sweep the streets for one
day. 1t is said to be no unusual
thing in St. Petersburg to see well
dressed persons thus employed.

TANDEM FELICIS
CONDUNTUR RELIRULH
EDGARI ALLEN POE,
OBIT OCT. 7, ls49,

UtC tdRdcm telictS! here at last he
is happy Can anything be more
beautifully pathetic Here, mis-
guided child of genius, victim Of
want, of disappointment, and Of thy
own fiery passions, thou didst find
that peace which was denied thee
during life.
In my conversations with Mrs.
GLENN, she gave me many interest
ing facts about Poo's personal aP-
pearance, his dress, &c. He was
five feet eight and a quarter inches
high slightly but elegantly formed I;
his eyes were dark gray, almond
shaped, with long, black lashcs; his
forehead was broad, massive and
white his mouth and teeth were
beautiful; he wore long but not
heavy mustachc; his hair was dark
brown, almost black, and curl y his
feet and hands small as woman's.
He was very neat, even fastidlous,
about his dress was fond Of gray
clothes he always wore turn down
collar and black cravat.
His custom was to walk up and
down his library, when engaged in
literary composition. He never sat
down to write until he had arranged
the plot, the characters, and even
the language he was to use. To
this may be attributed the eXtraor-
binary finish which his compositions
display.
The true story of Poo's death has
never been correctly told. 1t is
this In the summer Of lSl9, ho left
New York for Virginia. In Rich
mond he met Miss Elmira Shelton,
whom he had known in his youth,
renewed his acquaintance, and in a
few weeks they were engaged to be
married. He wrote to his friends
in the North that he should pass the
remainder Of his life in Virginia,
where the happiest days of his youth
had been spent. Early in October
he set out from Richmond to fulfill
a literary engagement in New York,
and to prepare for his marriage,
which was to take place on the 18th
of the month. Arriving in Balti-
more, he found that he had missed
the Philadelphia train which he cX-
pccted to take, and would have to
wait two or three hours for the next
train. He went into a restaurant,
near the depot, to get some refresh
ments. There he met some Of his
old West Point friends, who invited
him to a champagne supper that
night. lie accepted the invitation
and vent. AT first he refused to
drink, but at last no was induced to
take glass of champagne. That
set him off, and in few hours he
was madly drunk In this state he
wandered off from his friends, was
robbed and beaten by ruflians, and
left inscnsiblc in the streets all night.
The next morning he was picked up
and taken to the Maryland Hospital.

THE GRAVE OF POE.

1t was on cold, dull and drcary
day, last winter, while attending the
funeral of Mrs. Maria GLENN, the
aunt and the mother-in-law Of Edgar
A. Poe, that first saw the nameless
grave of that gifted but most unfOr-
tuna.e poet. She had died the day
before, and her last request was 70
be buried by the side of her " darling
Eddie, " in Westminster Church yard,
corner of Fayettc and Green streets,
Baltimore. No stone has ever marked
the place of his burial, though, short
ly after his death, a marble was pre-
pared, which was accidentally brok-
en- in the stone cutters shop, only q
few days before it was to be erected

ASHES FOR SWEET POTATOES.

A correspondent in the Southern
Culticato, says:
" notice the question is asked,
which is the best .crtilizer or ma
nurc for sweet potatoes. From the
experience | have had, in manuring
the sweet potato, must say that
rotted ashes, when properly put on,
have precedence over all others |
have had any experience with. The
plan that | adopted was to open Il
deep furrow with scooter pillow, and
put plenty of ashes Bed out on
the ashes, and a sure crop may be
realized Oh the poorest soil. Cow
penninS is good-so are cotton seed
and stable manure; but, after OK
perimonting with the ashes, they will
all be abandoned, provided ashes can
be had. experimental on as poor
soil as | had, and the result was as
fine a crop of potatoes as | ever saw
on any kind of land. Rottod ashes
are good for cotton also, and almost
any kind Of vegetation. | am con-
WINGED there is not a better fertilizer
made on any plantation than rotted
ashes. SO every one will find it
greatly to his interest to take special
care of it,"
