THERE are a number of rusty old bachelors and some grass widowers, talking a great deal about matrimony, as they sit around the saloon doors, now that the cool weather is approaching, but we don't think that many of them have the spunk to make things stick. This waiting for their sweetness to assert her leap year privelege and propose, is about played out. The gentle creatures have no spunk either. Very Iew of the charmers have ..alled on us yet, at proper hours, and those who did come are not the kind we like. We don't care about the angular, square-toed : knock. kneed and double jOinted kiud, who have lost all the fresh. n ess and vim of life, but we want somthing around which the per- fume of the rose and the freshness of the lily still cling. It's not too late yet.

DIED.

Died at Rome, N. Y, on the 18th of August, HENRY T. STEVENS.
 Henry T. Stevens came to the river when all was trouble and turmoil. The agent of the c. s. N. Co.,, had been arrested and inn prisoned, and the officers in com- mand knew not who to trust. Stevens was selected by the com- pany as the man who would faith fully, and without fear or favor, fill the trust; which he did to the entire satisfaction of his employ CT, and also the commanding officers, passing and resident. This was in 1862. In the next year. 1863, Louis McLane, then in charge of the "Pioneer Line of Stages" wanted just such a man as Stevens to take charge of the office in Virginia city, then the great centre of lawlessness, and Stevens left the river and took charge of the stage line at that place. But after a short time re. sident there returned to the river and took charge of the Nav. Co.'s business, until the year of 1866, when he quit the company and went into business in connection with David Neahr. In 1868, he sold his interest to David Neahr, and went to San Francisco, and since then has been engaged in 8 general commission business, al ways holding the Territory as his home. No one who ever en- trusted business in his hands ever complained. No one who once could call him friend, ever knew him to fail him in the hour of need. Ills will be mourned by all who knew him well, and regret ting by host of business men of the Territory.

SUDDEN AND MYSTERIOUS DEATH
OF REVERDY JOHNSON.

By dispatches from Baltimore aaG
Annapolis of February 10 We have tn.
startling intelligence of the death Of the
Hon. Reverdy johnson. late Senator il
Congress, still later Minister of the
United States at the Court Of ST. James,
and many years renowned for his
great qualities as lawyer. We find
the following particulars in Yesterday 5
dispatches to the Enterprise:
Annapolis. February 10.-Mr. john
son came here last night to argue tine
case OF Baker vs.. Frick in the Court of
Appeals. BY invitation of Governor
Carol! he became his guest at the Exec
utive Mansion to-day. The Governor
invited Chief Justice Barton of this
State and several other gentlemen to
NEE. Mr.. johnson at the mansion They
dined about D P. Y. At dinner Mr..
johnson appeared IN excellent spirits
and his usual health and entertained
the company by his conversation and
relating anecdotes. At dinner Mr.. John
son took .one glass of Madeira and re-
fused 10 take any more. After dinner
he asked the Governor 10 take him in
the parlor. He took the Governors
arm and walking il the parlor sat down
on sofa. A. the request of Mr.. John
son the Governor rejoined his guests at
the table. Shortly atterwsrd a servant
appeared at the door and beckoping the
Governor out told him Mr.. Johnson
was lying IN the yard on the stones.
Governor Carroll went Immediately TO
the place and found Mr.. johnson lying
on the cobble-stone carrlage-way that
passes under the porch of the mansion.
close up to the wal! and close to the
door leading into the basement. He
had evidently gone down the front steps
and around the side OF the house and
fell, where he was found about S:lo p. L.
The impression Is that he had been there
at least half an hour. He was then
dead and was bleeding protusely from
wounds on the right side of his head
and face. His body was at once re-
moved into the basement room and ply
sicians summoned. DR.. W. q. Tuck
was the first to arrive, and after e1amin-
ing the body pronounced life extinct.
Drs. Rideous and Cloud arrived after
ward. There are large wounds on the
night side of the forehead, two fractures
of the skull from the upper portion Of
the forehead to the eyebrow, a disloca-
ton of finger of the left hand, and
cuts on the hands and legs. beside
bruises. Physicians are examining the
body to determine the cause of death.
Mr.. johnson would have been eighty
years old next May.
1t is probable that these statements of
wounds will be shown to be much e1-
aggerated, for it is not at all likely that
he was murdered, and the idea Of sui
eide is out of the question. He doubt
less came to his death from stroke Of
apople1y.
The deceased was one OF our most
famous men. He was a connecting link
between the present generation and the
times and statesmen OF the Revolution.
He was born in Annapolis, May 81,
1856. He was elected to the United
States Senate as long ago as 1S45-more
than thirty years since. He resigned
that position to accept the office of At
torney General under President Taylor.
Since his return from England Mr..
Johnson has held no Office.

TEs BABCoCK TRIAL, SO far as report
ed, fails to produce anything inculpa.ory
of the accused. 1t is very evident, how
ever that very strong and persistent ef-
forts have been made by Babcock' S enc
mics to fas:en suspicion of guilt upon
him. Some attempt was made on Thurs
day to show that letter containing
money had been sent to him by Joyce.
The report shows some very clever arsu-
mentation on the admissibility and rele-
vancy of the evidence sought to be sd-
duced. but does not state any decision
of the Court relative thereto. The most
significant item of evidence brought ont
during the trial is reported as follows:
Edward Il. Frazer, Of the distilling
firm of Bevis 4 Frazer, then took the
stand and for the fourth time repeated
his story of the conspiracy and the ope-
rations of his house during its existence.
Nothing new was brought out either on
the direct OF REORGANIZATION. The
witness knew nothing whatever in rela-
ton in any way to General Babcock.
