No Instructions Given 90 the Dis
trict Attorney fer West Tennessee.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The President
this afternoon sent the following telegram
to Gov. Brown, of Tennessee:
Executive Mansion, Sept. l9.-HOn.
Jno. c. Brown, Governor, Nashville-Sir:
Your dispatch of yesterday has been re-
ferred to the United States District Attor-
ney for Western District of Tennessee for
report. as there is no official information of
his proceedings here. When his report is
received, viii give you a more definite
answer, or have the Attoney-General do
so. will s. ate, however, that it is very
gratifying to know that the State authori
ties of Tennessee are disposed to suppress
and punish the class of acts so dangerous
to life, and so opposed to the political,
financial and moral interests Of the State.
But the Constitution makes it my duty to
enforce the laws of Congress, and Congress
has passed laws giving the United States
jurisdiction in such cases as are referred to
in your dispatch. No special order has
been given to Federal officers in Tennes-
see. further than the order of Sept. Of the
Attorney General, which is general in its
nature and constitutes instructions to all
Marshais and District Attorneys wherever
violations of said acts may occur. will
add that the State and General Govern
ments. as you are well aware, may have
concurrent jurisdiction over the same Of
Tense, as, for example, in cases of counter
feiting; and the action of the State author
titles in such cases does not prevent the
General Government from proceeding
against the offenders. L. 5. GRANT.
In "A Hun:
Much indignation is expressed by the
Secretary of War and Adjutant General
Townsend at the publication of forged
telegram, puTporting to be signed by the
AdjutaDt General, and addressed to Gen.
Emory, saying:
"YOu will follow out the instructions as
in former dispatches. All turbulent per
sons must be put under arrest. This order
must be implicitly complied WITH"
The forged dispatch was also telegraphed
north last night to several persons. The
Secretary of War has determined to dis
cover the fOrger, and has taken measures TO
that end. The actual telegram sent to Gen.
Emory merely acknowledged the receipt of
his yesterdays dispatch.

The old virgIn,an and the bottle.

John Rollins, who was at one time n
clown in John Robnson's show, was
celebrated for his ready wit and quick
repartee, and, in answer to a question
whether he was ever at a loss when in
the ring to reply to any remark made by
spectators, said:
Never but once, and that was when
our company were exhibiting at Warren
ton, in Fauquier county. 1t was part OF
my role to play drunken man. l came
into the ring as usual, in full clown cos
tune, with bottle of whisky in my
hand, and while acting the various char
acters of intoxication | noticed an old
fellow standing near the rope which
inclosed the ring, occasionally winking
and nodding at me, as much as to say,
if convenient please pass that bottle
around this way Hisgreasy black cloth
suit, high crowned hat, slightly smashed
in, gold-headed cane and red nose,
told who he was. He had evi-

Virginia gentleman, whose decline could
be traced to an Ger fondness Of looking
upon the wine when it is red. Passing
arOulu Jne rluRi stOppeu lmHcuidtciy
in front of the fellow, and extending the
bottle, asked him to drink. With one
hand he took the big cud of tobacco out
of his mouth, throwing it on the ground,
his looks exhibiting his desire for a
strong pull at the bottle, while his smi-
ling countenance plainly told the intense
satisfaction he enjoyed in anticipation
of so soon satisfying his appetite, when,
just as he reached to take the bottle, L
suddenly jerked it back, and, placing my
thumb to my nose, wiggled my fingers
at him. The old fellow threw himself
back on his dignity with an air of Offend
ed pride, Strengthened himself up, and
in a tone Of anger, mingled with morti-
6cation, said:
Sir, as an old Virginia gentleman, 1
onlyv proposed taking drink with you
through courtesy and not that / wanted
your whisky, you Internal spotted-coat
son of gun.

ginian's language and manner, and the

or three vain efforts to proceed with my

.The spiri.. OF '76.

A correspondent, writing OF hazlng ~
the Naval Academy, Annapolis, says;
One day, about two months ago, when
a certain member of the third class was
superintendent OF one of the floors. n
well. developed plebeian came along the
entry whistling At the sight OF his SUI
perier officer he ceased, as he was in duty
bound. The superintendent, with an M
solent desire of displaying his authority
over fellow larger than himself, ordered
him TO do it again" The plebe, well
knowing that he would be spotted" for
compliance, remained silent; whereupon
the temporary official declared that il he
would not obey, he should be made to DO
So Nothing, however, could be done at
that moment, so the youngster was al
lowed to 60 his way. That night nlne-
teen third.class men entered his room,
and passed him aroued;" that is, they
formed a ring into which the offender was
dragged, and pushed violently from one
to another always falling against two or
three strong hands that pushed him back
again before he had time to take breath,
and thus be was buffetted from side to
side by nineteen pairs of muscular arms,
until this great stalwart lad, nearly SIX
feet tall, tainted from exhaustion. The
hazers then departed, climbing out ofthe
windows and sliding down the posts of
the veranda. The frst-class man who
was on duty that night, caught glimpse
of these forms descending in suspicious
manner, and, having taken an obserya-
ton of the window from whence they
came, went to the unlucky plebe's room,
and found him insensible. He was re-
suscitated and questioned. At first he
was unwilling to tell any tales, but after
thorough investigation the truth was
aseertained, and the matter was laid be-
fore the Government, who at once adopt
ed most decisive measures. The whole
third class was quarantined from the be-
ginning of April to the end of the year
that is, for two months and half they
have not moments recreation. All
their hours of pleasure are forfeited.
While the other classes are playing foot
ball or taking the young ladies out to
row, the boys of rs are working away at
extra drills; when the others have half
an hours leisure to go to the library or
run into friend room, they are prison
ers in their own apartments. The nine
teen who were engaged in the affair just
mentioned in addition to being quaran-
tine, are ordered on the practise cruise
this summer, losing thereby the only
leave of absense that they have during
the whole four years of their academic
course-the one visit home to which so
many toasts have been drunk and so
many songs sung, which is looked for
ward to and looked back upon from the
time they enter the academy until the
time they leave it.

Moses in Egypt.

Bayard Taylor in New York Tribune.l
Varieties discoveries thus far have
thrown less light upon the sojourn Of
the Israelites than many might have
expected or wished. We are apt to
forget, in the great importance which
the Biblican narrative possesses for us,
that small subject race, like the jews,
could only be accidentally mentioned in
the annals of such proud and powerful
people A few strong probabilities,
however are worthy of being noticed.
The conjectured period of Joseph's ar
rivalin Egypt corresponds with that of
the Hyksos, or Shepherd Kings, who,
being strangers themselves, would the
more readily confer high authority upon
n stranger. Moses, most certainly, was
educated as an Egyptian priest under
the reign of Rameses H., and the Pha-
raoh of the Exodus was the latter son,
Menephthah, a superb bust of whom is
in Mariette's museum. The name Moses
is the Egyptian Mesu, signifying "child"
or boy" A recently deciphered papy-
rus contains an official report concern
ing a certain "Mesu, who is declared to
have much influence over the foreign
people" as the descendants of the Hyk-
SOS, the Israelites and other Semitic
tribes settled in the Delta, we're eollec-
lively designated. Bricks made with
and without straw are TO be found in
quantities among the ruins Of Buoastis
and other Egyptian cities in the land of

The Springfield Republican tells
curious story of the way in which a.. b.
Leonard, a dumb man, at Southbridge,
Massachusetts. recently recovered his
voice. which he lost about 8 year ago
after an attack of cerebro-spinal menin-
gitis A few mornings ago he was awak-
ened about four o'clock by a SENSE of
onnression and faintness. de became
c6pscious enough to understand that
Gas was escaping from a coal stove, and
hat he would soon die unless be
could get to fresh air; so, after
many falls and tumbles he gained
the outside door, when he tainted,
but was soon aroused BY the
tapping and Juggling of faithful New
fonndland dog. Then the thought came
to him that bis wife and child were in
the house, and though he had not spoken
for months he called loudly for help, his
cries, united with the bowls of the dog,
soon rousing a neighbOr, to whom he
told his troubles, and again tainted and
was insensible for two hours. On recoy-
ering he was unable to talk, but the doc
tor on hearing the case ordered him to
visit the gas house and breathe the arr
in the purifying room. After spending
an hour and a half there he could talk
in q whisper, and since then has gained
the perfect use Of his voice.
