Captain Richmond l., /, BluesD

The applause was deafening and lone
sustained at these noble sentiments, and al
a late hour the banqueters retired.
Letters were also received from Generals
Grant, Mcclellan, Sheridan, Hooker, and
others.
The Press notices Captain Imboden's
letter editorially as follows:
mo better sign of the times appears
than the letter of Captain I. NJ. Imboden,
late of the Confederate States army, now
the commander of a militia company in
Richmond, Va, in answer to the invitation
extended to his command by the Washing
ton Grays of this city to participate in their
semi-centennial anniversary. The mailed
and gauntletted hand that ten years ago
grasped an opposing sword, to-day guides a
pen that forms such words as these: There
are no filter peoples to restore good feeling
between the sections than we, the soldiers
of the two armies, who so severely learned
What it cost us to quarrel about IDEAS" ,

changed places the latter lay ON the
floor and the former was suspended
from the hook. Up rushed DUBOIS to
the rescue, took his wife down, and
after much labor, brought her to her
senses. The attempt of suicide com
pletely sobered him, and like Obadiah
Oldbuck, he turned over new leaf.
He promised never to drink again and
probably would have kept his word
if his wife had been able to keep her
own counsel. But she was just smart
enough toinform several of her neigh
bors that the apparent hanging was a
put up job, the rope being tied under
her arms. The knowledge of this hit
tie practical joke coming to Dubols's
ears he first thrashed the whole fami-
", then performed some extraordinary
feats of furniture smashing, and final
ly left the premises, and has not been
seen since.

The New Attorney General.

The appointment of Hon. George
H. Williams, of Oregon, as Attorney
General, in place of Hon. Amos I.
Akerman, of Georgia, resigned, was
to take effect on the 10th instant.
Judge Williams is native of CO.
lumbia county, New York, and is
forty-eight years of age. Directly
after his admission to the bar in 1874,
he removed to Iowa, where he was
elected Judge of the First District in
l847. He was Presidential elector
(Democratic) in 1852, and was APP
pointed by President Pierce in 1853,
Chief Justice of Oregon Territory,
and re-appointed four years later by
President Buchanan, but declined fur
Their service in that capacity.
In 1864, as Republican, he was
elected United States Senator, State
government having in the meantime
been organized, and Oregon adGlitted
into the Union, He served a full term
of six years, ending ON the fourth
of March last, and was a prominent
and influential member of the Judi
ciary Committee. He is universally
recognized as an able lawyer, and will
worthily fill the Office of Attorney
General for which he is admirably
fitted.

Learning the Truth.

Saws the New Orleans Republican
The Houston (Texas) Union, a journal
which has through ignorance OF the
situation, condemned the acts OF Gov.
Warmoth, and sustained Mr.. George
w. Carter, now discovers the truth
and generously changes front. We
commend the article from the Union
to our Republican readers, and espe-
cially to the Republicans in the Cen
eral Assembly who have strayed from
the fold. The Union says.
watching the contestin Louisiana,
we have discovered within the past
few days strong indications that the
whole Carter opposition to the War
moth administration is rapidly degen-
Grating into a Democratic movement
against the men and measures OF
Republicanism. We will do Colonel
Carter and his friends the justice
to say that at the outset they did not
anticipate this result, and had no
wish to form combination OF this
sort, but they must now see and real
ize that such is the case. The meet
ing at the Lafayette square was COM
posed largely of the old rebel element
who have been long seeking some
pretext for coming to the surface.
The character of resolutions passed
at that meeting was just such as we
might expect from an assemblage
of Democrats in this State. Then the
Times. Bee and Picayune, all Demo-
cratic sheets, the two former virulent
and uncompromising, are supporting
Carter and denouncing Warmoth.
Add to this the fact that Carter is
really hopeless of overcoming War
moth as originally planned, and
to all appearances is only seeking
to create anarchy and confusion,
to the end that martial law may be
declared by the United States Gov
eminent, the whole thing is clear. 1t
is now plainly combination against
the State government in the interest
of the Democracy. The sooner the
honest Republicans acting with Carter
see this, the better for them and the
people of Louisiana.

THE END OF A MURDERER.-Las
Sabbath, says the Wheeling Inteli-
gencer of December 14th, a man
named Henry Smith, aged about sew
enty years, died from exposure to
cold in Sand Hill township, Marshall
county, Virginia. His story is strange
and interesting, and shows that man
can. live in state of nature as we'll as
the beasts of the field. For more
than twenty years he lived in the
open air, without a roof to shelter
him from the storm. He was man
of weak mind, and possessed violent
temper. About thirty eight years ago,
while in grogshop in this city, he
quarrelled with a man named Joseph
Newt, and during the affray stabbed
him. The wound proved fatal, and
for the crime of murder Smith was
sentenced to the penitentiary for six
teen years. At the close of his term
of confinement he desired to remain
in prison, but his request was refused.
For many years he remained at the
root of fallen, tree, and subsisted on
the provisions that were given him
by the charitable. When hungry. he
greedily devoured raw meat and un-
cooked vegetables. When clothing
was given him he tore them into frag-
ments, prefer1ing to be clothed in
filthy rags rather than in clean, decent
apparel. He had sunk even below
the level of the brutes. Two years
ago his neighbors built him comfort
able hut, but in short time he had
used it for fuel. Afterwards he lived
in an open field, without any protec-
ton from the iaclemency of the
weather. During the severe cold of
last week he was found lying in a
heap of ashes, with feet and hands
frozen. He fingered a few days in
great misery, until death came to his
relief and kindly ended his sufferings.

The Laughing Plant.

In Palgrave's Eastern and Central
Arabia" we are told some interesting
acts concerning this singular plant.
The active principle appears to reside
principally in its seeds. These seeds,
when powdered and administered in
full, judicious quantities, produce
effects similar to those produced by
the celebrated laughing-gas of Sir
Humphrey Davy. The person to
whom the drugis administered laughs,
sings. dances, and conducts himself in
the most extravagant and ludicrous
style. After an hour of this intense
excitement, he falls asleep, and upon
awakening, is totally unconscious of
anything that he said or did while I'M
der the influence of the drug. 1t is a
common joke to put small quantity
into the coffee of some unsuspecting
individual, in order to enjoy a laugh
at his antics; and it is said that,
when judiciously given, it has never
produced any evil consequences. An
overdose would be dangerous. The
plants which bear those berries grow
only in Arabia. In Kaseem it hardly
attains the height of six inches above
the ground, while in Oman it has
reached the height of three or four
feet, with wide-spreading limbs. The
stems are woody, and when stripped
of the bark have u yellowish tinge !;
the leaf is of a dark green color, and
pinnated, with about twenty leaflets
on either side; the stalks are smooth
and shining; the flowers are yellow
and grow in tufts, and anthers num-
erous. The fruit is a capsule, stuffed
with greenish padding, in which lie
embedded two or three black seeds,
in size and shape much like French
beans. Their taste is sweetish but
with a peculiar opiate flavor. The
smell is overpowering, and almost
sickly.
