Just as he was looking for a good
place to drive another nail, the first
one broke and down came three
square yards of heavy vine upon his
head go startling him that he toppled
the ladder. whereupon it. himself and
six square yards more Of vine came
to the ground like California land

When rescued he looked like a
man who had got lost in a cotton gin
and found his way out through the
knives. His wife fixed him up with
bandages and camphor, and then
nailed the vine to its place as she
would have done at first if left alone.

Gordon and Lolgstreei.

The difference between a firm ad-
herence to principle, and blind ohe-
dience to policy. in its time serving
sense, has seldom been more iorcloly
illustrated, than in the cases OF these
two men. !. .f1, ;,
During the war, they were both
shining lights in the galaxy of South
ern chivaIry, and their names were
dear to both the soldiery and the
people. When Longstreet fell at the
Wilderness, mortally wounded, as it
was supposed, "a thrill Of agony ran:
through the Whole army, and when
he returned every heart rejoiced in
the restoration Of the veteran favor
ite. But the war closed, and we soon
found that Longstreet could fawn,
and with mean seryility kiss the hand
that smote him. We do not think
that it was his intention to betray his
country, but once led off by design
ing men, and the Siren songs Of poll
cv, : and induced as he was, to commit
himself to the reconstruction pro-
gramme, from which his advisers
turned away as others have done, as
soon as they found that the honest
people could NOT be, duped, and, mis-
led, we find him running into all the
excesses of his party--progressing
from bad to worse, until nothing is
too low for the once honored Long
street. He has become = reproach to
his people, who look upon him with
lunutterabie scorn-and even his Re-
epubhoan friends, though cneerfully
accepting his degradation in their be-
half, have no respect nor regard tor
him, as is always the case with trai-
tors. 80
