An EventfuI Career Evoked by
the Plague.

The Brownsville States Of this week
contains the following sketch of the
late John j. Ashe;
Among the many heroes who went
down during the great scOurge none
deserve a more enduring monument
than the lamented John j. Ashe. His
whole life was a chequered career, full
Of romance and thrillingincidents, and
his heroic death was a fitting sequel to
his previous adventures. Educated
as a lawyer, graduating, we believe, in
the same class with Chancellor Liy-
ingston, his life seemed full of hope
aud promise. But his spirit was too
well adapted to a rowing career to all
low him to follow the plodding life Of
a lawyer, and we never heard that he
attempted to succeed in his profession.
When the war broke out he entered the
| Confederate army and was soon madea
captain for his intrepid daring and
cool bravery, Just at the close Of the
struggle he was captured and sent
North as a prisoner of war. By some
means he escaped and entered Cincin-
natl one day just ii time to hear Of
President Lincoln's assassination. He
Immediately wrote to his friends
| South giving his views of the event.
| Unhappily for him his imprudent let
ters were intercepted by the Federal
| military authorities and their con
tents gave rise to the erroneous sus-
| picion that ne was an accomplish Of
J. Wilkes Booth. From that hour he
was hunted down until finally he was
tracked to his home near Stanton il
| this State, arrested, hand cuffed anC
carried to a Northern prison. Here
he lay for a long period without a trial
and was finally released simultaneous
iy with President Jefferson Davis
| Afterward he married, moved Il
the frontier of Texas and led
wild border life until 1873 wheI
the dread yellow fever swep
away his entire family except on,

Last August he volunteered as
Howard nurse in Memphis and die

out in Brownsville when he came her,
and worked with a heroism almos

COmstOck IdyI.

Virginia New Chroniole.l
Early this morning one of V%irginia's
proudest citizens was observed taking
some gentle exercise with a bucksaW
and a pile of wood. The snow was
about two inches deep, and the atmos-
phere just bracing enough to render
exertion enjoyable but, strange to
say, the expression on his face was
anything but of pleasure. He paused
for a few moments rested his elbow
on his knee and remarked, thought
fully well, | don't think Beecher
was quite right when he allowed there
was no hell. There moughtn't hev
bin afore woman kun along, like the
! valley fever, to play the dashed
BANKED deuce with us. What good
is a woman anyhow that lays in bed
till ten o'clock and makes her husband
do Chinaman's work, like this, I'd like
to know?"
He was evidently getting angry. He
wiped his damp forehead with a red
handkerchief and cast wistful glances
in the direction of the woodshed.
Now, thar's Jake Smith next door.
What a nice time Jake has a layin' in
bed and takin' his comfort like a
Christian. All that wife of Jakc's
is an angel. She's up with the sun
gettin' things ready, a-choppin' wood
and a-sweepin' round and a-fixin' up a
nice cup OF coffee for Jake, to take to
him in bed. All, well we can't all
be happy" And the poor mar slowly
wiped away a crystal tear that de-
pended from his nose.
Why, there's Jake's wife now and
I'm blest if she amt starting opposi-
ton agin me at the wood sawin'. If
I'd met her afore | did the ole woman
Good morning, Mrs. Smith" as a
mild-eyed little woman cautiously
peered over the fence.
Good morning, Mr.. Wilson, re-
sponded the lady in a tone of commits
Grafton. And how do you feel to-
day2"
Not a doin' well at all, Mrs. Smith.
The rheumatics is a gettin' worse in
my jints and this open-air exercise
don't do me no good nohow. | 'spose
I'm not long for this world and he
wiped away another tear.
Poor man " sighed the little wo-
man, 81 brought you something that
might warm you up a little. | took it
out of Jake's demijohn. If he knew
it he'd half kill me- saying which
she handed him a small black flask.
Mr.. Wilson's eyes grew moist, al
though his throat was dry.
God bless We, ma'am, but yure an
angel. If they were all like you
there'd be no hell, sure enough"
A gurgling sound followed and a
peaceful calm seemed to have settled
upon the neighborhood.

N. Calhoun, a well-known landlord, has
RENTED rents Of two months due from
tenants occupying twenty-five houses.
This generous conduct merits praise and
we hope will induce emulation among
other landlords, who are supposed to live
upon the fat of the land.
"a truer friend, a nobler gentleman or
a more generous, w~hole-souled companion
than Rush Loop never lived" was the
remark Of q well known citizen who had
just learned Of the death Of this lamented
person. He spoke the truth, and all who
know Mr.. Loop mourn his death.
When the LEDeER, ten days ago, saw
1T to express its opinion regarding the
prosperity and safety Of refugees return
ing. not a few persons asssiled our opinion
and were prone TO indulge in silent denun-
citation, Ii is unfortunately true that the
opinion Of the LEDGER has been substan-
tiated by the death of more han one
friend.
Sim. L. Barinds, the m~eritOrious ASsc-
ciated Prcss agent who as a Howard, jour
nalist and philsnshropist during the yell
low fever exhibited such fearless conduct,
leaves tonight for Louisville, Cincinnati,
Chicago and ST. Louis. We trust his visit
will be pleasant and felictious, Although
daily and nightly exposed to the fever,
Mr.. Barinds was not attacked BY the
dreadful scourge. His services are IN
equaled.

INTERESTING LETTER
From a New Orleans Lady who Nursed
Yellow Fever Patients In Memphis.
Brief but Excellent.

The following letter has just been re-
eeived from a lady whose experience in
this city during the recent yellow fever
epidemic commend what she says to the
thoughtful consideration Of our readers;
NEw ORLEANS, La, November Is,
IS7S-Mr. Il. Whitmore, of the LEDGER:
| arrived here Monday at II o'clock, m.
Found all well. Sunday l called on
Mr.. Dreyhls and ascertained that he had
missed the copy of the LEDGER containing
his letter. As it is a point Of honor with
me that he should be convinced that |
published it (pardon me-that you pub
iished IT'D be good enough TO duplicate the
copv of Saturday, the 9th. Remembrance
of the consideration extended to me by
the gentlemen Of the Masonic relief
board, renders me sensitive TO obligations
not directly incurred. l mean that |
am never afraid 10 ask a Mason
for anything legitimatily mine, but there
are obligations so delicate that / am not
at a loss when 10 discriminate, so let me
nay for a copy of the LEDGER containing
DR.. Samuel Dreyvus' letter.
One of the most distinguished scientists
and literatuers of this country died here
Yesterday, at his residence on Constance
Street, where he has lived for half a CEN
tury-Dr. Bennett Bowler. DR.. Bowler
has devoted the last years Of his life to a
most profound and elaborate work upon
the soil Of the Mississippi delta; a work,
unfortunately still unfinished.
Business is slowly resuming, but to my
eyes Memphis presents more bushes;
oct;y;tv than New ORLEANS The fayer
has entirely abatod.
Bidwell, of the Academy, opens next
week with Herman, the prestidigitateur.
The Varieties is undergoing repairs.
DIR. Bemiss, Of the commission, returns
10 Memphis to-day. l have not had Z
minute to spend with any of the medical
gentlemen As yet Should they need my
experience, l I'M we'll prepared. Most
respectfully,
MADAME 4. A. SIMPSON.
