Late Defeat OF the Carlists.

LONDON, February lS.-A Carlist
general in recent engagement at Ell
Quetta, writes the battle lasted all day.
We lost our position, which was an
important one, being near to the country
leading to Acepta. The Alfousist num-
bered eight or nine times our forces but we
would h we defeated them nevertheless,
if our ammunition had not been exhaust
ed. Cannot say where we shall be able
10 establish our lines. My own opinion
is that the enemy will reach Aspectia
and pei haps we shall have struggle to
keep him out of Tolosa.
HENDAYE February l9.-Large bodis;
of the Carlists ARE concentrated in the

BARRY SULLIvAN.-This evening the
great actor, Mr.. Barry Sullivan, sup.
ported bv the Grand Opera House COM
psny Of Cincinnati, will appear at the
Opera House. Indications are that there
will be larger attendance than has
ever appeared at the Opera House
at one time. Richard Ill is the
play for this evening, and the
press of the country are unanimous that
he has no equal in that character.
The following is from the Cleveland
Herald:
"If ever there was an ovation given
to an actor in this city, Mr.. Barry Sulli-
van most certainly received ii last even
ing. The audience was the largest the
most brilliant and intellectual, that has
vet filled our Opera House. The lovers
OF the legitimate drama was there. all the
critics were there; the genuine student OF
Shakespeare came on: to. see and hear,
and the elite and fashion Of the city
came in swarms, filing every seat and
bockading the lorbies and vestlbule.
The crush WAS very great. All have
agreed that the performance Is the
greatest we have had since the days Of
the elder Booth"

OLD JOHN ALLEN.-This old GEN.
tenarian humbug arrived in this city
Friday evening on the steamer Hudson,
Captain List having "chslked' his hat
from Huntington to this place. He
claims to be los years old, but seventy.
five or eighty would be nearer the truth
He is on his way to- Philadei-
phia, to appear on e1hioi'
ton at the centennial, and
Saturday night was shipped to Pittsburgh
on the Salt Valley. John has been max
ing a good thing out of the role he has
assumed. This is what the Huntington
IAdrsrtiser says about him:
This old pilgrim, who passed through
here a few weeks ago. and was dead
headed to Cincinnati on the Ohio, on the
strength of being l04 years old and hav-
ing walked from Pitt county, n. G, on
his way to Indianapolis, is fraud OF
the first water. He was interviewed at
the Gibson House, Cincinnati, where
he was kept in state for several
! DAYS at the expense OF some of his
dupes, and told most wonderful story.
He says be came from Pitt county; came
throug Oh Hilsboro and Salem, and stopped
at Charleston. To reach Charleston
from Salem, n. g., he must haze taken
turn directly northwest and come across
rivers, mountains and swamps, over 25O
miles. The old fellow says he made II
barrels of turpentine, carried it some dis
lance. and sold it for about 81 80 per bar
rel, that is he got S23 20 Tor
III barrels, and that was all the
money he had when he started When
It is taken into consideration that bar
rel of turpeptine weighs over two hun
dred pounds, and Old John, according Ia
his own story, is 104 years old, that Is
rather tough.
Those who know the old man say he
lives in Lincoln county, and that he
makes his trip from n. G. lin magma
toni every five years, telling the same
interesting stories every time, with some
variations.
Some say that he has been making
this same trip from Pitt county, n
e. to Indianapolis, for thirty years

The As Exemption Law.

C~oustruiug the exemption laws Of
Tennessee has for some time puzzled
the judiciary Of u State, but the stat
ute was literally construed in a recent
charge to a jury in this State, Judge
Guild diseoursed on the exemption laws
in the following style;
Our Supreme Court has very properly
adjhdged that the laws made in behalf
Of poor persons shall be literally con
strued aud enforced; for instance, q
horse and yoke of oxen, cart and two
horse wagon are exempt by the words Of
the statute. Our SupremsC Court Chief
Justice Nicholson delivering the opinion,
have solemuly sdjudged that al ass is a
horse and 8 horse is an ass, belonging to
the same species While Judge Nichol-
son is good authority 10 the law, be is
equally distinguished as a horse and ass.
Ologisl; and hereafter an ass must be
regarded as q horse and a horse as AZ
ass. Il is known that 10 the early days
Of Judea the ass was the animal princi-
pAlly in ass, either for riding or draught;
yet history leaves us 10 doubt wheths
the ass is the progenitor Of the horse, or
the horse the ~progenitor Of the ass
While it is q mooted question whether
they RerninAted from the same root, yet
amidst the darkness We have the light
of our Chief Justice that they are OF the
same species. In view Of the liberal
construction given BY our Supreme
Court, / have decided that 3 b~ack.wagon
comes within the species Of wagon ex
empt, aud the parties have aeqriesced
in that decision. Nov the poor mar and
family may sleep in their own cabin,
drive their v ass, ride in their OVID
buck-wason, repose under their Own
goUrd zine and peschSree. and there is
no one to make them afraid.
