MISCELLANY

The old engine house at Harper's Ferry, in
which John Brown and his party were storm
ed and captured, is used by an undertaken as
a hearse house. The loop holes which the ill.,
surrectionists made have been brcked up, but
the outlines can be readily traced. The plac-
es on the floor where one of Browns sons
died and the other was MORALLY wounded are
pointed out by the villagers, although the
blood stains that remained for several years
have entirely faded out.

The Temperance Cause in North
EdYeleId.

Mr.. G.. w. Balm, the Kentucky temper
ance lecturer, was greeted with a fair
audience last night at McFerTin's Chapel,
North Edgefeld. He commenced his lee
ture by giving a vivid picture of a noble
mind in ruins, following the picture with
a demonstration of the power of ardent
spirits in working irreparable ruin upon
that temple whose maker and builder was
God. lie said man might desire revenge
for a wrong, but reason and conscience,
Gods monitors for man, would bid him
put back his pistol and stay his hand, but
Just across the street he would buy for fif-
teen cents a dose of Satan's patent con-
science-killeT, and then was ready for muir
der.
Some would say let a man drink and
take the consequences; but the trouble
about that was, that a man took the drinks
and some one else took the consequences.
He here made an appeal for woman, and
said there was not husband present that
would live with a drunken wife two weeks,
but she must live with a drunken husband
until he got so low the beasts Of the field
wouldn't below at him, and in death en-
swarth him in her broken heat and lay
him IN the coffin. He held up the power
Of the appetite, speaking in the kindest
terms of the drunkard. He gave some
touching illustrations and interspersed the
lecture with te ling witicismS.
At the close Of the lecture nineteen
names were received for the Order Of
Good Templars.
Mr.. Balm lectures this afternoon at $50
O'Clock in McClure's Hall, in Edgefeld.
and will doubtless give one Of his best
efforts.

Ofall the April fools that we have met, that
Broad street grocery merchant was the most
completely sold. About midnight, hearing
anoise at the parlOr window he arose, grasped
his pistol, and started for the scene of &C
ton. Upon reaching the front door, he
discovered the most villainOus looking
burglar he had ever seen standing by the
open window. COncealing his portly fig
ure TO the best Of his ability behind a small
pillar Of the porch, our merchant fired.
Peeping timidly around the post he beheld
the figure Of his rObber slowly ascending
by a rope to the window above, and Just
then q SilUeIy laugh ringing out told too
surely that the midnight intruder was only
an CfligY. We will add that this Is the same
gentleman who received the spelling book
as the worst spaller. He says now that he
didn't "Iuise" his presence Of mind during
the whole transaction.

From Old Hickory.

And. Jackson to r. 3. Miller,
February, 1873" is the inscrip-
ton on the silver head Of a stout,
kuOtted hickory walking cane now in pos
session of Capt. Marsh Miller, Ct Memphis.
The original recipient of this valuable stick
was the father Of the present owner. He
resided many years at st. Louis, but served
under Gen. Jackson during the Greek
Indian war, and also at the battle Of New
Orleans. He was for many years a river
pilot and bOatman, having commenced his
nautical career in 1903, first in keel and
tlatboats and then on steamers. 1t was
while visiting the great hero at the Hermit
age, thirty-three years ACC, that the General
presented his early follower and
friend with the relic now greatly
priced by the son. After receiving
It. Capt. Miller discovered that the
knots on the stick coIresponded in number
with the letters of the Generals name.
The present owner had it bequeathed TO
him by his father sixteen years ago.

We find the above in the Neig York Sun
Of last Thursday. Many Of our readers will
remember a Col. Oliver A. Patton, who 10
Gated in Nashville Just after the war,
practicing law and also, in partnership with
his father conducting q grocery and
produce business on South Market street.
He acquired his title in the Confederate
army, having been among the first from
Kentucky to join that cause in 1861. The
family then resided in COvingtOn opposite
Cincinnati, but the lOyalists made matters
so uncomfortable that in the following
year they refugeed over the mountains TO
Virginia. From The fact that Jesse Grant,
the Presidents father, lived in COvington,
the presumption that the Col. Patton
spoken Of by the Suns correspondent is
the same person, and in some way related
to the Grants, possibly on the maternal
side. In 1866 our quOndam Nashville friend
moved to Louisville, and hung out his law
yers shingle. The following year he mar
ried a very wealthy heiress high up in the
Kanawha Valley, West Virginia. This
fact gives additional color TO his identity
with the newly-fOund cousin of Grant.
