| Mr.. George 4. Smith announces this morn
| ing that he has sold his share in the Border
Express to Colonel Dechert. 1t had been
understood for some time that he had bought
the Raleigh Sentinel and would settle in
Raleigh. It has also been reported that Col
onel Donan, Of the Ne,rs, would join Mr..
Smith in the conduct OF the Sentinel, but |
have nothing official to report about this r'l-
NOR.
General Joseph z. Johnston and wife were
here on Sunday. and were on their way to
one Of the summer resorts. General john
ston's beard is whittier than would have
wished to see it, but his eye was as. bright
and his bearing as expressive OF the soldlerly
as when he was waiting impatiently for the
sound OF the guns from the Confederate
right at Seven Pines.
Admiral Goldsborough was here the lat
ter part of last week. 1t has leaked out that
while the Admiral was ut the hotel one OF
the ways spoke OF him as il he were Boss
Tweed. s'Tweed looks very we'll for pr-
was Tweed. "Where IS Tweed?" said No.
,. "There," said No. l., pointing at the
Admiral, "and that's the detective who has
him in hand" continued No. /, pointing to
Colonel Foreacre, of the Virginia Midland
road. "By George" said No. g, '"sthose
New York detectives are splendid-lOokinS
fellows. But what woman is that with
Tweed?" 1t was Mrs. Goldsborough.
OH" said No. l, "therc's a
part of the story that has not come
to cverybodv's ears Just yet. That
is the woman who deceived the keepers, got
Tweed out OF prison. and aided him to-
escape and settle in Canada amongst the
Indians, near Hudson's bay ".Well, but"
said No. 4, chow did a. New York detective
get hold OF him, and what's Re doing with
him down here!" No. replied: "Why,
when Tweed heard of the discussion about
WinsIow he began to be afraid he might be
discovered and extradited, and so nc set
out for Cuba, and wished to go thence to
South America, but he was driven into the
port OF Fernandina, Florida, by that storm
which you remember reading about, and
was there recognized by this New York
detective, who was on the lookout f0r the
man who did the Caldwell telegraphing."
Thereupon the whole party, though not
boarders, sat down to dinner at the hotel,
taking speaker No. with them, that they
might see and hear more of Tweed, and
arose very much benefited. But No. kept
his secret till after dinner.

dairymen bring to market, and they are
places much resorted to by the "sWeet-
