vouchsates the Information of General
and Mrs. David Hunter gave a Ger
man" in honor of Miss Nellie Grant a
few evenings since. The large pmlors
were filed with the elite Of the capital,
the young people, to the extent of forty
couple, being allowed the exclusive pcs
session Of the main sai0u After indul-
ging in a regular jenkins description Of
the iodenes of the young ladies, the
Republican continues a brilliant az
ray of fighting material who looked
on in the parlor or chatted in the sit
ting room above, was composed Of Gen.
Hunter, Gen. Grant. Gen. Sherman,
Gen. Brlknap, and Gen. Dent. Asump-
tuous refreshment table was laid in the
supper room and large bowl OF lemon
al, received the frequent attention Of
the gentlemen present. General Hunter
fairly out did himself in his polite at
tcntion 10 his guests, who departed at
an early hour this morning highly de
lighted with the evenings entertain
ment.
We would rise to ask, says the Lynch
burg Republican, where General Hun
ter won his spurs, or did his brilliant
fighting ?" Was it when he ignomini-
ously fed from the greatly inferior nu-
merical force Of Gen. Jubal a. Early, at
Lvnchburg, or was it when, assuming
the role ofan incendiary,he burned to the
ground the residences Of bis cousins, in
the Valley Of Virginia, Messrs. A. X.
Boteler, Edmund |. Lee and Andrew
Hunter-in the latter case putting the
bed ridden Mrs. Hunter ontheturnpike,
subjecting her to the bliStering rays Of
July sun; and this, too, in the face of
the fact that only few years before he
had tor months been the recipient Of MI.
Andrew Hunters generous hospitality ?
General Hunters modesty is not com
mensurate with his brutality, otherwise
he would decline to indulge III the "de-
lightfnl German" lie ought TO thank
God he has so far escaped EiSayenging
wrath; and quietly seek oblivion.

RYLAND, FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH 7, 1873.

minutes later half dozen bodies were
ashore One of them was Col. Pangborn
past all fear of vengeance at the hands
of VIII Burton Another one of the
crew was alive, and the efforts of the
fishermen soon brought him to conscious
ness.
"Where is the girl that you had on
board Y demanded Will.
IF there was girl on board she's
there yet" replied the man; 'for none
has been taken off,"
"Look, look !" cried one of the fisher
men, there's the yacht, and she's struck
a rock. She'll so to pieces in half an
hour y
Will Burton sprang into boat with
out word, and commanded them to push
him off. They tried to dissuade him
from the hazardous attempt, for it seemed
impossible for boat to ride the turbu-
lent pillows. But he was deaf to all
their advice, and they watched his slow
course with 6ated breath.
Several times his boat threatened to
capsize, but at length he reached the
yacht, which was already beginning to
go to pieces. Springing on the deck, he
made his way to the cabin, guided by
the screams of the frightened girl
A key was in the lock- he turned it,
and clasped Pet in his arms.
A rush of water through fssure
warned them that escape, if made at all,
must be attempted at once. They en-
barked in the little boat just in time,
for they had not gone hundred feet be-
fore the yacht went to pieces. Slowly
the boat neared the shore, and safely
until past the breakers, when monster
wave overturned it. But Will was an
expert swimmer, and when they were
thrown upon the beach, although sense
less, they were still alive.

A GOOD GRAMMAR.

We advise every little grammarian just en-
tering on the study, to commit to memory th
following. The author-w whoever he is-de
serves much credit
|. Three little words you often see,
Are articles, a, an and the.
3 A nouns the name of anything,
As school, or girl, hoop or s'oi'Ig.
3. Adjectives tell the kind of noun,
As great, snsaH, pretty, 'ohIe or brown,
4. Instead Of nouns the pronouns stand
Her head, his face, your arm, my hand.
3. Verbs tell something to be done
To read, count, sing, laugh, jump or run.
G. How things are done adverhs tell,
AS sio,oly, quietly, III or sceH.
l. Coniunctions join the words together,
As man and woman, wind or weather.
8. The propositions stand before
A noun, as q or through a door.
8. The ntcrjectons show surprise,
As at I how pretty-0h ! how wise.
The whole are called nine parts of speech,
Which reading, writing, speaking teach.

EMBER WEEK. K.-The present week is
designated in the calendar Of the Episcopal
Church as Ember week, and Wednesday,
Friday and Saturday Of this week are
days of abstinence. These Ember days
recur at each OF the four seasons, spring,
summer, autumn ard winter, being the
Wednesday, Friday and Saturday after the
first Sunday in Lent, alter the feast of
Pentecost, after September 18th; and,
after December 18th the Sunday following
these Ember days of special intercession,
are the stated periods for holding ordina-
tons by the bishops of the church, and the
prayer-book provides special prayers to be
used daily in all the churches during
Ember week "for those who are to be
admitted to holy orders.u On next
Sunday, which will be the festival of St.
Matthew. the Apostle and the Evangelist,
it is usual for the bishops to hold ordina-
tons for the admission to the office Of
deacon or priest of any candidate who
may be in readiness, and who may have
passed proper examination. The selec-
ton of st. Matthew's day as one of the
stated periods for the ordination of min
isters would seem to be peculiarly appro-
pirate, in view Of the example, which,
according to the sacred record, st.
Matthew gives to all who would be minis
ters of Christ in forsaking all for his mas,
ter. The Gospel for the day records thai
as Jesus passed " He saw a man named
Matthew, sitting at the receipt of customs
and he sayeth unto him, follow me. And
he arose and followed him. M ,

| GRAND RAPIDS, September lG.-The
propeller Ironsides. Of the Englemonin
line, connecting with the Detroit and Mil
waukee railroad, and one of the largest
steamers on the lakes, foundered and sunk
seven miles off this port at noon yester-
day. Her signal of distress was hoisted
at a. M, but so terrible was the sea.
and heavy the wind, that no assistance
could reach her. She labored in the
trough OF the sea from about $50 n. m.
until she sunk. The passengers and
crew prepared the boats to leave her
at about 1920, and the last boat left at
1850. When the last boat had got about
a quarter of mile from the steamer size
went down. There were five boats filed
with.the crew and passengers. One boat,
containing five men and four women.

reached the shore. -Four boats have
reached shore up TO this time. One boat

Or all the epidemic diseases that spread
terror and desolation over the earth, no
one is SO much dreaded as the yellow
fever. A large percentage of those att
tackled do not recover, and since it is high
ly contagious, the unhappy victims are
often left to face death alone. Sometimes
they are deserted by their nearest friends,
the instinct of self-preseryation proving
stronger than the ties Of consanguinity and
affection. just now the people Of Shreve-
port, La, are experiencing the horrors of
this terrible epidemic. All communion
ton with the city by public conveyances
has been stopped, and a dispatch received
last night informs us Of the death of a tel
egraph operator, and the mortal illness Of

ANOTHER GENEVA AWARD. The
dissolute old Duke of Brunswick has made
d strange--that is for him strange--use of
the immense fortune whichhe had accumu-
lated during his long life. Nobody knows
precisely how much money he left behind
him, but the amount is varously estimated
between three hundred and five hundred
millions of francs. He had bequeathed
the whole of this immense estate to the
city of Geneva by the terms of his will,
which have recently been made known.
True, when the war and the Communist
rebellion drove HIM from Paris, which was
Paris to him no longer when shot and shell
and armed men took the place of the
luxurious pleasures which he had lived
since his duchy was absorbed into Prussia,
he retired to the Swiss metropolis, and it
gave him shelter until the day ofhis death,
but il might have been thought that there
was little in that moral city, whose life is
still tinctured with the ascetic morality OF
Calvin, to make it dear to the heart of the
old roue. Geneva is literally suffering
from its embarrassment Of riches. Ii is
difficult to say what disposition shall be
made Of the vast legacy. The benefactor
is to be honored with splendid mauso-
leum, but that will absorb but an infini-
tesimal tithc of the amount. Fgg

to retract anything dictatorial he may have
said to them during his canvass of the

The commissioners of education have
