The recent death of Mr.. Albert Mellen, at
Dallas Tex, recalls striking incident of the
war of the rebellion. Albert Mellen was man
of nerve, He was taken prisoner by the Fed
eral army at Vicksburg in 1864, when he was
twenty-four years Of age. He was ordered
out for fertilization work under a negro guard.
He claimed exemption, as prisoner, and re-
fused to GO squad of negro soldiers, under
a white lieutenant, was sent to eoerce him
with bayoaets, He looked q moment at the
squad and saw that they meant to impale
him if he did not obey the order. His situa-
ton demanded quickness and decision. He
seized O Ratchet lying near-as Virgintus
snatches knife from the butchers stall-and
suddenly kneeling down on the floor OF his
prison, laid out his left arm, and with two
brave strokes severed his hand completely
from the arm. He then rose and shook the
bleeding stump in the face of the lieutenant
He did not go to the fertilization. He beat the
lieutenant and his negroes, and, what is more
he never regretted the act which made him 9
permanent cripple.

KnfA SnfheFn.

The Savannah Net0s prints q letter from
the now famous Kate Sothern, In which she
takes occasion to correct report to the effect
that she has been put to work In convict
camp, and that, In consequence, she had given
expression to regret that she had not been
hung. Upon this point she seems to be ex-
tremely sensitive, and her feelings are so
wrought upon that she Is at some pains to
give q rambling but interesting sketch OF her
daily life as q convict. Perhaps convict is
not the word to be used in this connection,
for according to her statement she is not o
convict at all, but an employee Of the State.
She says, In effect, that she Is having Q
nice time. Instead Of 'the cold embrace OF
the rattling chain, striped clothes, hard labor,
coarse diet and even the LASH" she is given
light work and her life seems to be @ per-
petual picnic. She is not even compelled to
wear convict clothes Those who sympathize
with Kate will be glad to learn that she is en-
loving herself well, even while wondering
upon what grounds such determinations as
she boasts Of are made in her favor; but per-
haps this is one of the fortunate results OF the
lease system. 1t has been suggested that
Hates husband Bob Sothern, lease her him.
self and carry her back home, but 1t is proba-
bic that Kate wouldn't listen to such pro
posal. She Is too comfortable where she is tc

vlrglnIa's Lost Colony.
Nashville Americana

The discovery of mound in North Caro-
lima, with number of well preserved corpses
of unknown nationality, has revived hope
vet be found of the famous Roanoke colony.
The remains and contents of the mound are
undergoing careful examination, and Ii it is
possible to decide that they are the Roanoke
done. It was in 1887 that the famous lost
colony, the subject OF SO much search, specu-,
lation and romance, landed at Roanoke, and
formed q friendship with Manteo who was;
made Christian a feudal baron, as the Lord
of Roanoke, the first gentleman In America
It was that colony which gave birth to Vir-
ginia Dare, the first child born here of Eng.
lsh parents. 1t was three years, on account
before a ship with supplies and the Governor
OF the colony, Virginia Dare's grandfather
returned to Roanoke. All that remained Of
the colony, or Manteo and the friendly Indi-
ans to tell of his fate, was the inscription
''Croatan," on the bark of tree.

PerDe ttlaL Peace.

Writing seventy-two years since, Crabb
Robinson records: II had several interviews
with the celebrated American machinist Full
ton, who invented the catenarian and torpedo,
and offered to Bonaparte to destroy the whole
English fleet by means of explosives. Dining
with him one day spoke Of the Perpetual
Peace OF Kant. Fulton said, I believe In tne
surprise he added 7 have no doubt war will
be put an end to by being rendered so muir
derous that by common consent 1t will be
abandoned. l could myself make machine
destroy 100000 men," But Fulton died at
fifty, and though Krupp has done his best,
his guns do not deal out destruction quite at
that rate, and here we are In 1878 apparently
as distant from perpetual peace" as when

Portuguese COurtsEaIp.

The young men of Portugal have one occu-
patton more important than wearing tight
boots and which almost In fact, goes with it
that of making the very mildest forms OF
love known among men. The young, gentle
men pay their addresses by simply standing
in front of the house occupied by the object OF
their affections, while the young person In

upper window, and there the matter ends;
They are not within speaking distance, and
have to content themselves with expressive
