GEORGE WASHINGTON.
An Old Scandal Resurrected

LOUISVILLE, Jan. ia correspondent
of the New Albany LEDGER reports exam
lining a record in the handwriting of Col
Thomas Posey which puts at rest the story
that he was an illegitimate son Of Gen.
Washington. The record disclOses the fact
that Gen. Posey was born in 1854, and
married Mary Thornton on the 22d of jan
uary, 1881. The result of this union was
ten children, one oG which, the sixth son,
was Col. Thomas Posey, the assumed ille-
Ultimate child, born on the 2gth of March,
1871. The character of his mother was
such as places her beyond eTen suspicion OF
a violation OF her marriage VOWS. Besides
the time at which the birth Of the pretended
child is fixed was before her marriage.

THE carpet-bag Senator Clayton, Of Ar
kansas, appears to be getting in tight
place. The special committee to invest-
sate the charges against him, have entered
upon their duty, and the testimony prom
ises to be very severe. A Washington dis
patch says: If it turns out as represented,
it will undoubtedly lead to the expulsion Of
Clayton from the Senate. 1t IS proposed to
pleve, among other things, that, while Gov
ernor of Arkansas, he altered the registra-
ton list and supplied illegal ballots in
numerous Legislative districts Of the State
TO secure a majority in the Legislature for
his election to the United States Senate.

alleged to be cognizant Of these facts will

The First Bale of Cotton at New Or
leans.

In common with some of our leading
brokers, we were in error in supposing that
the bale of new cotton received at Calves
ton was the one previously reported at
Brownsville. The bale in question proves
to have been from the plantation of Widow
Hausman, Dallas county, Texas, and was
received at Galveston on Tuesday, when it
was sold at auction, in front of the store OF
Focke q Wilkins, and knocked down, as
mentioned, at 97c per pound, realizing for
the owner S377.5S in gold, to which must
be added a premium of $500 offered by the
Galveston factors for the first bale, making
total OF $577.6S in gold, equal at lib, to
S652.66 in currency. The purchaser for
warded it forthwith by express to New
York, and it passed through this city last
evening, consigned to Messrs. Fattman d
Co., of that city, who, we learn, viii ship it
to Liverpool. We presume, however, that
before doing so, they will present 1t for the
premium of $500 offered by the New York
Cotton Exchange, reducing its cost to them
to about $l26.66 in currency, or Bic per ID.
We learn from the Galveston Neacs Of
Tuesday that another bale was expected
shortly from Columbus. The Rio Grande
bale, which was shipped by the steamship
II lrris, has been detained by the vessels
grounding in Arkansas Bay, but is exp cted
here by Saturday. Thus there are three
bales of new cotton in sight. The earliest

FAYETTEVILLE, Lincoln county, Tenn,
July 10, 1ST2.-I see in your last weeks
issue Mammoth Weekly,) two articles,
headed Fence, and No Fence. Your writer
on fence from Hickman is sound on the
goose. Your correspondent from old neigh
Dor Giles, we want to look into his doctrine
little. We will say here, Mr.. Editor, this
question of fence is one of Importance in
this county. In the first place he says,
''there is not farm in this vicinity that is
entirely enclosed with lawful fence" In
this we have no doubt he has told the
truth. In the second place it is not the
custom for landlords when making con-
tract with their tenants, 70 obligats them
selves to keep the fence up or TO keep the
stock out; but the poor tenant must take
the farm just as he finds it, and take the
risk of having his crop destroyed by the
stock that run on the common; or he must
90 to the woods, make rails, haul them, and
put them upon the fence without any COM
pensation," etc. Then ask the question
who suffers most under this statement of
the case, the landlord or the tenant He
answers unquestionably the tenant. lie is
correct in that answer. But now Mr.. 'No
Fence" we suppose this poor tenant 10 have
al least one old mare and colt, one cow and
calf, one SOW and pigs; now we ask where
is your remedy for your poor tenant .
We will answer the question for you, and
in doing 50 will show to the public the
root, the foundation, the corner stone, of
the whole "no-fence" policy. Here it is:
The landlord will rent to this poor tenant,
a certain portion of laud for one half, and
not for less than enc third of what he can
make, and binds this poor tenant, to make
so many hundred rails, extra OF his crop
rent,) and lay up around the grass or pas,
ture land fence. After which this landlord
will let this poor tenants stock run in his

The Wear ana Tear of Life.

The cares, anxieties and misfortunes Of life
have as much to do with shortening it as disease.
They are in fact the source OF many ailments and
physical disabilities. Nervous weakness, dys-
pep.ia, affections Of the liver, disturbances of the
bowels, headaches, hypochondria and monoma-
MIA are among these distressing fruits. 1t is,
therefore, of great importance that persons
whose minds are oppressed with heavy business
responsibilities, or harassed by family troubles,
or excited by speculation, or perplexed by q
multitude OF enterprises, or in any way overtax-
ed or overworked, should keep up their stamina
by the daily use OF wholesome tonic. Thous-
ands of persons thus eircumstanced are enabled
to bear up against the difficulties in which they
are involved and to retain their strength, health
and mental cIearness, by the regular use OF Hos
letters stomach Bitters. Diseases which are
prone to attack the body when debilitated and
broken down by over much brain-work, or ex-
hausting physical labor, are kept at bay by the
resistant power with which this Incompatible
tonic endows the nervous system and the vital
organs. At this season, when the heat is evapo-
rating the elements OF strength from every pore,
an invigOrant is absolutely essential 20 the safety
and comfort of the public, and 10 required even
by the more robust IL they desire to keep their
athletic capabilities in status quo. Hence
course of HOstetter's Bitters is particularly use
full at this period of the year as defence against
the invisible disease af0at in sultry atmos-
IIere 1t is the most potent of all preventive
medicines, and for all complaints which affect
the stomach, the liver and the bowels, ana inter-
fere with the perfect digestion and assimilation
of food, it is the standard remedy.

TO sUBDUE KICKING HORSE.

Take an halfinch rope that has been
stretched until it cannot be stretched any
more; tie around the horse about six inches
back of the pad and belly-band of the har-
ness. Insert short stick and twist it up
nearly as tight as the rope will bear without
breaking, and tie the stick so that it will
stay. Tie the horse in stall where there
is room behind him to WELD long lash
whip, and then whip him around the hind
legs very severely. At the second or third
blow he will generally kick with both feet
with all his might. If he has been in the
habit of kicking in the harness, drive him
with the rope on two weeks, or until he quits
making any threats. Some will kick once
or twice with one foot, and bob up and
threaten for several days. They should be
tickled, or leased, or have basket thrown
under them, or a tin pail tied TO one hind
foot, to make them try it, several times
every day. After being driven half hour,
they will shrink, SO that the rope should be
frightened.
have never tried horses older than six
or seven; think that it might fail on an old
mare that had the habit deeply rooted. A
horse that rears and plunges to throw its
rider, it stops very quickly.-Peter Du
B0iS, in Country Gentleman.
