A GEKMAN FABLE.

A raven was crossing a field and saw
a cuckoo preparing soft bed behind a
shady bush. That seemed very odd to
him; so he crept nsarcr, and asked the
cuckoo what he was making there!
a bed, as you see, the cuckoo an
swered shortly.
a bed " nat for ?" the raven kept
on inquiring You are not going to
lie on the ground As far as know,
YOU usually rest in hollow tree.
1T is not for myself replied the
cuckoo, but for that poor sick hen
there. YOU see behind the bushes. See
that poor creature" he continued, weep
ing, "she fills my soul with pity she
has not been well for a long time"
Really, an odd kind OF neighborly
love. l could never in the least have
expected that Of you" the raven cried
in ecstasy and the bright tears flowed
down his raven cheeks at the thought
OF this noble decd.
Yes" the cuckoo continued in a
whining tone, "this good hen laid me
early every day an egg; upon that |
have hitherto lived wnen | could get at
nothing else, and how miserable Ishould
be if she should die ! | must perish.
Yes, must starve in these famine times.
"Aha, so! 1t is not precisely for the
poor sick hen, but for the eggs you
make the nest" croaked the raven, as,
quickly drying her tears, she few away.

Gen. Richard stoddard EweII.

The death OF Lieutenant General Rlch-
ard Stoddard Ewell sewers another Of
the links that bind the hearts Of the
Southern people to the memories OF the
Lost Cause. One by one the distln-
guished soldiers who stood in the iole-
most ranks Of the contedtracy are pass
ing away-those whose aye, expert
ence, aud talents placed them from the
first, by universal conSentat the head OF
the civil and military affairs Of the Pgo-
pie who entrusted lie and liberty 10
their keeping.
His last illness was Of only fifteen
days duration, yet it was Of such ma
ture from the beginning Is to prepare
his many friends Tor fatal termination;
and yet, following SO close upon the
death OF his estimable wife, whom he
survived bu, foyty-eight hours, the sad
event created feeling Of gloom and
depression among his immediate friends
which willeXtenj throughout the South.
1t wasb by her constant vigiis at the bed
side Of her husband that she herself
contracted the malady-pneumouia-
which buried the devoted couple in
one common grave--a sad, yet eminent
ly fitting sequel to an attachment dur
inc life which was so remarkable that 1t
might furnish the groundwork Of .
beautiful and interesting romance.
In early life there was settled mel
ancholy. almost bordering on morose-
ness, about General Ewell which i'm
pressed his army iriendr with the belief
that he had been made the victim Of
some tickle false ones hcart.essnoss.
This. however. was not the case. He
had scarcely attained his majority when
he first met Miss Mary Polk Campbell
the lovely and accomplished daughter
OF Judge George w Campbell, Of Ten.
meSsce, and 4 mutual admiration sprung
up between the gallant young army otii
Ger and the tasiuating belle, which soor
ripeued into love. But the tateS were
not propiGous. The parents objected
to the match 50 persistentiy that Genera
Ewell becoming piqued, did not pres,

Those who were fortunate euouch %
have telescopes saw the balloon gradual

nSut would throw down bag Of sand
to enable the balloon 10 rise, the coun-

mored that Donaldson haG desccnded

passengers Oh the canal boat had seen

The Alabama Claims,

A date from Geneva says: The Swiss
Times confirms the report now current
that the tribunal of arbitration has de-
cidcd in favor Of America in the case
of the privatccr Florida. on the ground
that the British Government did not
use sufficient precautions to prevent the
departure of that vessel from English
ports. The Times also says, the Board
Of Arbitration took up the case Of the
Alabama. 1t further says the board
has disalowed the claims of the Amcli-
can Government arising out of the dep
relations of the Boston, the Jctr Davis.

Confederate cruisers. The reasons are
that the charges Of negligence on the
part of the British Government con-
corning these vessels arc not proved

We take the following sensible and

and in its general makeup, under the
recent change in its editorial manage.

From the New York Herald.

AS Gen. Grant is the rcnominec of the
regular Republican party, any reverse
to that party under any circumstances,
would be prcjudiciaI to his chances of
success IN November. When it is re-
mcmbcrcd that North Carolina is held
uudcr military rule; that the Federal
ollccr-holders, the Federal soldiers and
the carpet.baggc!s, with the solid vote
OF the negro population, are all for the
Republican ticket; that large amount
Of Federal money has just been thrown
into the State, which, If not corruplly
used, will beyond question be literally
employed until the election time in the
payment Of doubtful voters for what
are called legitimate services, and that
the people Of North Carolina have been
kept so miScrably poor under the South
crn policy Of the Republican Congress
rs TO make few dollars material OBJ.
jcct to many thousands Of them, it will
be readily understood that the Republic
can Governors election ought not only
to be secure this year, but ought to be
carried by n larger majority than was
given to Gov. Holden in 1865, which
was eighteen thousand ami six hundred.
This result will leave the aspect Of the
Presidential canvass unchanged; for
while Republican defeat would be al.
most fatal to that party, Il Democratic
defeat would have no corresponding cr-
feet on the Greeley ticket.

From WASHINGTON.

Our Washington special says: The
indications are very plain that, political
ly and otherwise. August is to be the
dullcst month of the entire season in
Washington. Several prominent OH
cials, who are now here, will leave Of
ter the returns from North Carolina. for
the purposes of recreation and private
or political business. The present I'M
dcrstanning is that Grant will not re.
turn till after the first of September,
and the government affairs will be al
most, ifnot altogether, ofa routine char
actcr.
The outstanding circulation of the
three National gold banks in the Unit
ed States is one million sixty thousand
dollars.
