saw an editorial on Mcdowell on

Fredericksburg and Richmond, in

him to do anything but what
was mean. in fact I never heard u

he was more Of looney than any

chance to have q row We were the
furthest off Of any of the troops.
At the battle of Bull Run, No. 2, we
never saw him but once during the
fight, but there was one there that
We did see and that was Gen. Glib
bon, who commanded our brigade; J.;
q better man to command never
lived. After the battle nobody
knew what had become OF Mcdowell.
We thought lie might have gone
over to his friends. But no. after
We got inside Of the fortifcation at

thought he might have been like

The Wlnnemucca Herald gives
the details of one Of the most ex,
quisitely ludicrous incidents
that ever occurred IN that sec
tion. 1t seems that the wife of
q wealthy citizen had an init
mate friend whose name was
Mr.. Darden. The latter coaxed
the hueband into his cellar one
morning, killed him, cut him up
in small pieces, packed the same
in barrel, which he threw into
the river. A few days after
wards the lady came to Mr..
Darden and observed : any
husband has disappeared. Do
you think he has gone to the
wars p "No,' replied her light
hearted friend, bursting with
merriment, II think he has gone
to pieces" The joke was too
good to keep, so he told the wild
ow, upon which they both sat
down and laughed until their
sides achcd. 1t is the buoyant
spirits and infectious merriment
of our people that constitutes
their greatest charm. They are

Nothing is more easy than to grow
rich. 1t is only to trust nobody. to
hefriend none; to get all you can
and save all yon get; to stint your
self and everybody belonging to you
to be the friend of no man, and have
no man for your friend; to heap in
terest upon interest, cent upon cent;
to be mean, miserable and despised
for some twenty or thirty years, and
riches will come as sure as disease
and disappointment. And when near
ly enough wealth is collected, by
a disregard of all the charities of the
human heart, and at the expense of
every enjoyment, death comes to fin
ish the work, the body is buried in

A correspondent says: "The
news Of the Russians having
made the Sulina mouths unfit for
navigation by sinking stone la
den boats into them, has made a
bad impression at Vienna. For
military purposes torpedoes
would have answered quite as
well. 1t is, therefore, suggested
that Russia had an act Of COM
mercial policy in view, and
would destroy the Danube navi-
cation if the mouths Of the river
remained in its power. In a
very few months the mouths
