mourner's mind for the wrongett king,
and the breaking up of the goodly
fellowship of the Round Table could
not be forgotten, but lay like shadows
11pon the dead knight. But in the life
Of Robert Edmund Lee, there was no
reproach of man or woman his deeds
were dimmed by 10 wrong done or
duty unfulflled there was no stain
mon his honor and no JInrlghteous
blood upon his hands. He was
indeed good knight, noble
of heart and strong of purpose,
and both a soldier and gentleman.
The age that knew him, if not
| the age of chivalry, will yet be remark
able FOR having produced III him n
man as chivalric as any that lives III
history. He, too, was one, and the
greatest one, of goodly fellowship
| that was broken up and scattered
about the world. Some of the South
err knights have gone before him, and
with him departs the last remnant OF
the cause for which they fought and
strength that SO long upheld it.
In every particular he possessed the
REQUISITES of true soldier. He was
brave; his whole military record and
lifelong scorn of danger alike bear
testimony to his bravery. He was wise;
his successes against great odds, and
his almost constant anticipation of the
i, enemy's movements, were proofs OF MS
wisdom. He was skillful; his forced
, marches and unexpected victories as
!. sert his skill. He was patient and un,
, yielding his weary struggles against
/ the mighty armies of the North, and his
!, stern defence of Richmond, forever
> preserve the memory OF his pat'ehce
: and resolution. He was gentle anl
lust the soldiers who fought unde
: him and who came alive out OF TN
: great fight, remembering and cherish
: ing the memory of the man, can ON
a and all testify to his greatness and Jus

It man in his own ranks or in those @
l. the enemy who doubted his faith, O
!, believed that he had not done all MOI
u tai could do in the cause for which II
n made such a struggle.
l. When the last chance was gone, an
e all hone was at an end, the old her
h bowed to higher will than his owl
h and accepted the fate of the Sout
N with q calm grandeur. He could neve
Is take the field again; he knew that
at was not for him to see the act OF sece
re sion upheld by the South and recos
e. nized by the North, and after the fal

A lady writes as follows, and as she
probably belongs to one of the two
classes of women she last mentioned,
she probably knows whereof she
speaks: sit appears in this age that
an exqnisitely neat taste is acquired.
They may desire to look neat, but they
do not attain to exquisit freshness
Old maids, and women happily married
are the ones who learn the refinement
and quintessence of neatness. The
former naturally incline that way, and
the latter have the incentive to excite
and estain tho husbands admiration. "

,El,c battle OF eI,c suIIsrogs.

Mary of the citizens OF Vermont will
remellls,e,. 10 have seen on one dollar
bills of tie WTinGham County State
Bank vigneite representing bullfrogs
fighting. This was eEgrS} ed to com
memorate the Battle OF tiag ;:E}Ifrogs.
The facts are as follows:
Many years ago, when the town of
Windham was newly settled, there
came q very dry season. There are
two ponds IN Windham, separated by
an intervening strip OF ground OF con-
siderable extent. Each of these ponds
was iuilaaslae,' by q large number of
the above mentioned reptiles. The
smaller pond dried up Id its inhabi-
tauts started in body for t..a large
pond. They were met in the interve-
ming space by the inhabitants of the
larger pond, and fierce and long con
tinued battle ensued between the rival
communities. Such was the hideous
believing of the frogs during their
fierce encounter that it alarmed the i'll
habitanSs, who at first supposed it to
be the wheop 81 tll.e wild savages. But
curiosity getting faA& better part of
their fear, they cautiously tsToceeded
to the spot from whence tha i4iacous
sounds issued, and there behcld the
strange spectacle of two immense az
mics Of bullfrogs, covering many acres
of ground, engaged in fierce and dead
" battle. I'M; battle continued more
than twenty-forr i-2urs, and when it
was over the ground VS. literally COW
cred with the slain, and it ,beea-+fe nee
essarv, to avoid the noxious etlluvia. to
gather them up and bury them.

Railroad Property Burned.

SPRINGFIELD, Noy. 10. As 4 locomotive
was passing into the old round house of the
Boston & Albany r. Il. in this city, about
4 o'clock this morning, q gust Of wind blew
some Goals from the tire-box into a pile Of
kindlings, which Immediately caught fire,
and before the firemen could get to work
the whole building was in flames. Only
two of the locomotives housed within its
walls were got out, and everything COM
bustible that the fire could reach was burn
ed Fifteen locomotives, six extra tenders
and two snow ploughs were destroyed.
The walls of the building are standing, but
will probably soon be torn down and q
new round house built in West Springfield.
In view of salvage on engines and tenders,
the loss will not exceed $3.50, 900. No in
Surance.
The wicked Bangor Commercial makes
his comment on a very serious matter
The probable reason for the present low
price of mink skins is that since the Warren
murder there has been a popular prejudice
against all varieties of mink
