HOW SOUTHERN WOMAN KEPT THE
@ WHITE HOUSE. fa5fs-tstt.

Appropos to the return of Ex-Presi-
dent Johnson to public and social life
in Washington, it is pleasant to read
these praises of the daughter. who pre-
sides over his household:
Ex-SenatorDooli in late speech
referred to the expenses of the White
House, and remarked that ':whateYer
may be said in criticism of Mr.. John
sons public course. all parties agree
that the White House was nevermore
gracefully kept and presided over than
by his daughter. Mrs. Patterson-a
perfect lady and a model of republi-
can mistress of the White House. Let
me tell you fact which has never be-
fore been published, but which had
from the lady's ewn lips. Just as she
was about to leave, at the end of Mr..
Johnson's administration, the steward
of the house took an inventory and
found that not one article of furniture
was missing or broken; not sheet,
towel or napkin was lost; and the
house was in perfect order from top
to teld ma -anniher- fact
which know the wives and daughters
of the farmers of Wisconsin will be
glad to hear. When she went into
the White House she purchased two
COWS. From the milk of these cows.
From the milk of these cows she made
all the butter used, all the cream, and
all the ice cream used in thePresidents
family during the term. When she
went home she shipped these cows to
Tennessee. Is it any wonder, ladies,
that Mrs. Patterson received the first
premium ON butter last fall p

COMBAT WITH A LEOPARD,

A terrible combat has taxed place
on the shores of Lake Tantalus. in the
vicinity of Bournabat, Asia Minor, be-
tween professional sportsman nam
ed Caramouchi, who lives in the little
village of Yakaheni, and leopard
which had for some time been devas-
tating the neighborhood. SO heavy
were the losses of the inhabitants of
the district owing to the ravages of
this animal, that they agreed to have a
battue for him, but in the meantime
Caramouchi determined to attack the
leopard alone. Sallying forth one
morning about three weeks ago, ac-
companied by two friends, he found
the track of the animal in the snow,
and followed it up to a cavern in the
rock. The three men fired their guns
simultaneously into the entrance of
the cavern, and were rewarded by the
sudden appearance of the leopard, who,
bounding forward, seized Caramouchi,
lacerating him severely in the arms
aud legs. After desperate struggle
the leopard, who had been wounded
by the discharge of guns into the cav
ern, quilted its prey and withdrew to
the brink of a ravine few yards off.
Caramouchi's friends at this juncture
prudently proposed to retreat, but
Caramouchi signified his intention of
pursuing the sport, and reloading his
gun fired another shot at the object of
his pursuit. The leopard was now
thoroughly out of temper, and. bound
ing again on it's assailant, the fight
commenced in earnest. Caramouchi
was horribly mangled, but just as his
strength was giving way he drew out
knife, and, stabbing the leopard in
the stomach, by vigorous effort shook
it off and chucked it down the ravine.
The leopard was killed by the fall.
Caramouchi tainted, but, partially re-
viving, was carried with the dead
leopard in triumph to the village. He
was then put to bed, where he is like
ly, by latest accounts, to remain :or
several weeks, and little subscription
has been opened for him by his CRATE
full neighbors.-PdHM Mall Gdzelic.
A MAN in San Francisco entered a
police station in state of intense ex-
element, and told the Captain that he
wanted to prefer charge against his
roommate. "We both wanted to ga
to heaven" he said, "and we knew we
couldn't get there if we committed
suicide. We talked the matter over
a good deal, and finally we agreed to
kill each other. The plan was for each
to have a sharp razor ready at the 9TH

and deep as we could. We got all
ready. with the razors at our throats,
and gave the word. l cut his throat

agreed, and here l am alive. l want
to make regular charge of false pre-
lenses against him so he can't get into
heayen." The Captain locked up the
maniac, for such he was, and went to
the room described by him. There he
found that a man had been murdered
by having his throat cut while asleep
in bed. The lunatic had invented the
rest of the story. and while under an
hallucination had committed the deed.

Rumors of an Indictment against Bdbcock.
WASHINGTON, November 80 The
morning press Of this city did not print
the dispatches developed in the st.
Louis trial of Avery from Joyce TO
General Babcock in relation to the
whiskey frauds, and when other jour
nails containing them arrived here the
Speakership and other kindred topics
were for time forgotten. While the
Cabinet was in session, and immedi-
ately after its adjournment, the city
was full of rumors relative TO a row
between the President and Secretary
Bristow. 1t was asserted that Mr..
Bristow was going out of the Cabinet;
that the President demanded that he
make good the charges of ex-senator
Henderson, the counsel in the case,
against General Babcock, all of which
were, of course, without the slightest
foundation in fact. The general
opinion here is that Babcock is serious.
ly implicated in the frauds, and lead
ing member OF Congress from Missouri
who is well informed on the subject
expressed the opinion this evening
] that an indictment has been or will be
found against General Babcock. His
friends, however, declare that he will
be able to prove it when the opportun'
i:y shall be afforded him. 1t is also
| rumored in st. Louis that the name of
Lieutenant Colonel GRAFT, the Presi-
dents son, is included with the whis-
key ring. and the report is believed to
be not altogether without foundation
He rendered his resignation in the
army some time ago for the purpose
OF entering into the banking business
in this city, but the limit allowed him
by law in which it shall take effect has
not yet expired.

The Northern lecturers have profted
heavily during the imitation years. Many
OF them have made large fortunes, main
ly through impotence and cheek in de-
manding very high prices for small SER
vice. Now comes Cough again on his
annual tour, 1t is presumed that small
sum is made from Coughs lecture by
somebody. But the cost to our citizens
IS four fold, since he usually carries
away with HIM the greater part of the
Profits. The time was when abler men
would be laughed at for charging 5000
for lecture of two hours duration, es-
pecially when it is repeated from place
TO place The average lecturer is mostly
a great demagogue. He never fails to
Halter the people. and make them laugh,
nor does he fail to charge them e1horbi-
family. Cough has probably done much
good; but he has not neglected to put a
high estimate upon his service and fill
his pockets the while. He makes more
money of of single lecture than whole
troupe IN night at the opera house.
