The Fate of Gen. John Morgan.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
GazCHc writes rs follows: In n recent
issue of the Gazette, there appears an
article from the OrcgoHiaH, of Portland.
Oregon, in which it is claimed that John
Morgan was not killed, rs history has
it, but has been alive all this time, till
now, and has recently died under the
assumed name of John Pendleton, in
Oregon. The story is little too tishy
for general belief. | never heard the
killing of Morgan questioned before. |
remember the circumstance well. | had
seen Morgan in july, 1868, in his famous
retreat through Ohio, and was prison
er in his hands After this he was cap
tured and confined in the Ohio Peniten-
tiary, from which he escaped and or
ganized another force. In September,
1864, while was at strawberry Plains,
East Tennessee, the same John Morgan
with his force was at Greenyille, Ten
neSsee, the home of the late Andrew
johnson. He, with his staff, were the
guests of Mrs. Williams. The same
night, it is reported that n daughter of
Mrs Williams gave the Federal forces
information of his whereabouts, and
early in the morning Il detachment of
cavalry dashed into Greenville and sur
prised him. He, with his staff officers,
made hasty exit from the rear door,
and Captain Clay and Captain WitherS
of his staff were captured hiding in an
abOve-ground sort of cellar, in the gar
den. Morgan, half clad, was shot while
trying to get over 5he fence, by Il man
named Campbell, of the 18th Tennessee
Cavalry. Campbell was afterward
made a First Lieutenant, and also re-
ceived Git is reported) a present of $500
from the command The body of Nor
gan was thrown across the horse in front
of the rider, bag-fashion, and hasty
retreat was made by the Federal party
to their own camp. The bloody calico
shirt which Morgan wore was torn into
shreds and divided among the soldiers,
and | doubt not some pieces of it could
be found to-day. | had piece of it,
but lost it afterward. | saw Captains
Withers and Clay at the plains, as they
were taken down to Knoxville. | be-
lieve history says that they jumped from
the train and escaped on the way North,
between Chattanooga and Nashville /
The body of Gen. Morgan was dressed,
and, under flag Of truce, was taken
and delivered to his friends at Abing-
ton, Va. | well remember the dispatch
of Gen. Gillem to the Knoxville authori-
ties that day. 1t read thus: u sur
prised, captured and killed John Nor
gan this morning" l think Capt. Clry
lives in Covington, Ky. There is no
doubt of the killing of Morgan. Who
this pretended Morgan is, and what can
be the object OF his resurrection, is Il
mystery. If he "was wounded and fell
from his horse, but escaped, " what OBJ
ject could he have in concealing the
fact, inasmuch as Mosby, and others of
his like, subsequently became heroes?
And why should Morgan have skulked F..
so long? Perhaps Captain Jack, and /.
ether noted Orgonians, will yet turn up /
The fact is, Morgan was not on horse T.
when shot, but was killed instantly on
foot, by men 1cho kne1C him personally, .
and are not mistaken.

Buying on Credit.

The practice of buying on credit the
necessary articles of the household is
fatal to good economy. The house
keeper has always to pay dearer when
she does not pay cash. The tradesman
must have interest money, for a man
will never, in a business community, be
willing, and is seldom able if he were
willing, to foregO it. TO the ordinary
cash prices of the article he therefore
adds the interest which may accrue dur
ing the time that credit is allowed.
This, however, is not all. There must
be premium exacted by the dealer for
the risk he runs in trusting his goods to
that class of more or less dangerous Gus
toners who never pay ready money.
Even the most honestly disposed of
these are often unsafe debtors, for they
are generally such as are imprudent
enough to anticipate their incomes, and
to overrun them in expenditures. The
credit system, moreover, is a tempta
ton to unnecessary purchases. There
is a sort of check in the sight and touch
of the hard won money to the DISPOSE
ton to dispose of it lightly. On the
other hand there is something in the
facility of credit, removing as it does
the disagreeable necessity Of payment
to vague future, very seductive to the
buyer, who can crafty his love of pos
session with a momentary sense, at any
rate, that its qualification costs him
nothing. There is no such cheap and
cautious purchaser as cash.

Indian JugglerS.

Everywhere in India one meets with
the jugglerS and serpent-charmers,
whose feats are famous the world over.
Matheran, locality in the table-land
of the Ghauts, 1880 or 1900 feet above
the sea-level, where the English have
established sanatoria both for the sol
diers and the residents, is naturally one
of the leading rendezvous for these
iugglers. They assemble during the
season on this table-land and perform
their tricks from one bungalow to anOth,
er. Some of them are very skillful.
Almost entirely naked, and in the mid
die of your room, they will make a ser
pent disappear, tree grow and bring
forth fruit, or water flow from an ap-
parently empty vase. Others will swal-
low a saber, or play tricks with sharp
knives. Each has his special accom-
plishmentS. One of their most curious
tricks is that of the basket and child. 4
child of seven or eight years old, stand
ing upright in the basket, writhes in
convulsions under the influence of mu-
sic, and disappears slowly into the in
terror, which is barely large enough to
contain it. Scarcely is it inside when
the musicians throw themselves UpOnit
close the lid, and pierce the basket in
every direction with their long knives.
They strike with all their might until,
the bamboo giving way, the basket is
almost completely llattened, and seems
no longer capable of containing any
thing. They then reform the circle
and resume their chant, to which voice
now responds from the forest. The
sound gradually approaches, and at last
seems to come from the basket, which
BECOMES more and more diStended; the
lid is removed, and the child springs
out. This trick is very adroitly per-
formed, and, though capable of being
explained to Europeans, eXcites lively
astonishment in the Indian spectators,
The top trick is likewise very curious.
The juggler gives a vigorous impulse to
the top, which he places on the top of a
small stick balanced on his nose; then,
according to the request of the specta-
tor, the top suddenly stops, or again
goes on spinning. This last part of the
operation NJ Rousselet thought by far
the most extraordinary. That the top
should stop is ineligible; but that it
should afterward continue to revOlve,
without any new impetus, and perform
these alternate maneuvers for several
seconds, is the ineXplicable point. Our
traveller attentively examined both the
stick and the top, but could discover no
trace of mechanical CONFERENCE.-The

Mans Inhumanity TO Woman.

You have never really seen picture
of despair, and utter misery, and sore
distress and amazement, unless You
have seen man standing in the pres
ence of the wife of his bosom, and of
the other members of his family, and,
reaching into his pocket to hand her
letter that he had got out of the Post
office for her, bringing out of that inside
pocket 4 crumpled, rumpled, creased
envelope, once white, but now looking
as though it had associated with cigars
for many a long day, the very identical
letter which She had written to her
mother or dear, dear friend six weeks
ago and given her perfidiOus husband
mail. The very letter that he had sworn
a thousand times he had mailed, and
even related little joke that PoStmas-
ter Sunderland had got off about it, in
order to prove that he had handed it to
the Government in person. And there
it is in the unhappy husbands guilty
hand, and his wife'S eyes start from
their spheres as she gazeS upon the we'll
remembered, although cigar-stained,
address. She does not scOld-nOt she,
the angel She does not swear, rs her
husband would do in her case, and rs he
does in his own, mentally. She does
not get up and kick over the piano
stool and drown the caitiff in a torrent
of talk. She only looks at the letter and
then at the man, and says, "WellIn
And that man would rather be sworn at
for a straight month than have that
''well " dropped on him. 1t brushes
him like pile-driver. There are prob
ably about four thousand ways of say
inc well" but only a woman can say
it with the accent which belongs to it
under these circumstances. And the
wretched man starts to say about one
hundred and fifty things and doesn't
finish one of them. He feels that he has
given himself away, to be sure. He
would like the ground to open and swal-
low him up, but the ground appears to
enjoy the play too well to spoil it by
taking away one of the stars. No liv-
inc man has the nerve to 90 through
such a scene and keep his senses sulii-
ciently about him to recollect any thing
about it after that "wellln is shot at
him. But it is a matter of record that
the man mOpes about and cuts a cord
of kindling-woOd, and fixes that kitchen
shutter, and carries in all the house
plants and counts them to see how
many brackets will be needed in that
bay-windOw, and he puts up the hang
and sets the mOuse-trap,
and carries in stOve-wOOd enough to last
a month, and tries to talk gossip, and
says he'll have Daubs come around in
the morning and grain the front door,
and he tries to be rs good as he knows
how, and finally, declaring that he is
not sleepy, he sits up until after 9
o'clock, and breads going to bed worse
than the late Mr.. Rogers dreaded going
to the stake, and when he does 20, in
fear and trembling, he finds his deceiv-
ed wife's eyes open so wide and tight

A Clever Thief.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Telegraph writes to that jour
nal: 'sThere is rejoicing in the police
over the capture of a droll scOundrel
who has long given them work to do.
This fellow hung around the Lyons Rail-
way Station about evening time. On
catching sight of traveller who looked
simple, he made acquaintance in a lone
ly spot, and mysteriously offered to sell
patent watch-chains of amazing beauty
and incredible strength. Try it, said
he; you're fine man, but even you
can't break my chain So the chain
was twisted around the fine mans wrists,
and snapped to. While he struggled
with it the vender would calmly lay him
fiat, take all valuables, and make off.
For years this rufian has been playing
his ingenious game, going sometimes in
to the country. One night lately, at the

Havana Cigars.

The best tobacco for making cigars
grows in the western end of the island of
Cuba, and is known as the Uuelta Hb1jO,
the plant most in vogue there being the
nic0tiunl nepanda. That which is rails
ed east of Havana is called Uuelta 0rrjJa,
and is of an inferior quality. The most
noted Uega or plantation is situated near
the town of Santiago de Cuba, and is
called Yara. sThe vuelta abajO is divid-
ed into five classes: l, calidad, or libra,
noted for its good color, flavor, elastic
ity, and perfection of the leaves, rem
dering it desirable for wrappers; 2,
ynjuriado principal, or firsts, which has
less flavor, and is usually Of lighter
color; this also is suitable for wrappers;
s, sequndas, or seconds, a shade poorer
in every particular, but good for filings
and inferior wrappers; 4, tercerds, or
thirds, which are generally employed
for filings; 3, quartds, or fourths, also
employed for filings. The choicest to-
bacco is that raised on the banks of the
rivers which are periodically overflow
ed. The varieties are called Lo Rio,
Rio Hon4o and Pi1ar del Rio, and the
tobacco is distinguished from all others

ElOping With a Shrew.

of an elopement which fills me with
alarm for the morals of such Of our
diplomatic agents as are quartered at
ST. Petersburg. A certain y had per-
suaded the wife of friend "to fly to
other climes" with him. BY some mis-
calculation of time and trains the fugi-
tives were detained in the Russian capi-
tai for some four hours after the lady
had left the usual explanatory note
considered necessary in good society
on her husbands table. The guilty
pair, surrounded by travelling apparatus,

you in person for the greatest service
which any man has ever done me. On

Burial of a Parsee.

A curious ceremony was witnessed at
Woking Cemetery yesterday, at the bur
ial of the young Parsee, Dorabjee Da-
chai, who committed suicide few days
ago at Bolton. Parsees from all parts
of England were present. A plot of
ground had been purchased from the Ne
cropolis company, upon which a minia-
ture temple was erected for the perform
ance of ceremonies peculiar to the burial
of the Hindoo dead. The coffin, having
arrived at the ground, was taken to the
temple, and there opened sufficiently to
expose the face of the deceased. Two
Parsees then read certain portions
of the Zend Avesta, fragrant aromatics
being burned meanwhile. The body
was then saluted, and carried to its final
resting -place.-LiverpooI Post, Oct. -.
