a banjo Into 9 Mans Heart.

Says the Lynchburg TrginiGn of
Nov. 3Oth: "a young man by the
name of Martin was shot and killed
In Johnson county. Tenn, last Friday
night. He was at the house of a
neighbor by the name of Harrison
Osborne, when the latter committed
the deed Martin was picking banjo
at the time and the bullet, it Is stated,
passed through the head of the banjo
into his heart There had been a mis-
understanding between Osborne and
Martins father, which, it is supposed,
was the cause of the shooting. No
one was present but the parties and
Osborne's wife. Osborne made his es-
cape, and his wife claims that the
shooting was accidental"

How MIR. Lincoln Made a Match.

It was about a year before the fall
OF Richmond, when both North and
South seemed tOttering to ruin, that q
young lady, who had known Mr.. and
Mrs. Lincoln for years, visited Wash
ington. She was an exceptionally
sensible, warm-heRrted, refined
woman, gifted with wonderful
voice and q graceful figure, but she
was very hOmely. She called at the
White House, and when she had
gone with his wife into a private
room, Mr.. Lincoln expressed his SUR
prise to friend that "some good man
had not been lucky enough to marry
her." Adding:
Il herself would be much hap
pier il she were a wife and mother
A few moments later Major c.,
a volunteer officer, thoroughly re-
spected by the President, and bach
eior, came into his study. Mr.. Lin
coin looked at him thoughtfully.
''What are you going to do when the
war is over, C" he asked sud-
denly.
seek my fortune, I suppose" was
the startled reply.
"There it is in the ROOM" A frank
RirIish laugh was heard at the mo-
ment. mo, you can't go to seek it
now; business first. But there il is"
That ever ing there was a reception
at the White House. The President
beckoned TO .dsjor c..
''Listen 20 be said.
A lady whom they could not see be-
cause of the crowd, was singing, in a
voice of great beauty and sweetness,
some gay song. The Major would have
moved forward, but Mr.. Lincoln de-
tanned him, his eyes twinkliDg with
sbrewd fun.
Wait a Bit" he said. Don't
look at her face yet"
Presently she sang q ballad with
such pathOs that the Majors eyes
grew dim.
NOW go. She's as good and true
as her song"
The good word of Mr.. Lincoln
probably Influenced both parties. In
B few months they were married,
and the union proved a most happy |
One.
II did one wise thing in 1864" Mr..
Lincoln said, rubbing his chin, as was
lis wont when pleased; Il made that
Match"

attempts to use, such power as he may

he done so, he would have found even
before this that an American President,

more direct power than any potentate

Texas SeltIers,

The most successful settlers in Texas
are said to be the Germans. TheiI
settlements along the San Antonia and
Houston Railroad, and in the western
part Of the State ar. said by local news,
papers to show a thrift, comfort and
plenty. The secret of their success is
that there are no idlers in their iami
lies. Men, women, boys and girls all
work with will. They try to make
their farms yield everything that they
need for ea'ing, and drinking an
wearing. They are frugal, but live
well. Their fences, and barns and
houses are kept in good condition, and
their ground is well utilized. At the
same time the education Of the children
is well attended to.

Musical Exercises.

The entertainment given in the new
ly finished audience room at the Ma
sonic Temple, last evening by Prof.
Becher was we'll attended. The char
acter of the entertainment was very
fine and highly complimentary to the
Professor as well as satisfactory to the
large number Of participants. The
programme consisted Of selections Oh a
piano, the rendition of popular airs by
young ladies and solos from number
ofyoung masters present. Violin sess
lrctions weie rendered by Master Char
les Hickman and Mr.. A. W. Aarink-
son. The exercises closed at a reason
able hour and all departed with an
additional impression Of the already
favorably known abilities of Professor
Becher as a musical instructor.

A dispatch from Petersburg, Va,
Dec. 18th says: A serious stabbing af-
fray occurred this afternoon at Dinwid-
die County Courthouse. A political
discussion arose at the hotel dinner
table between DR.. X. G. Powell, mem
Der Of the last General Assembly from
Dinwiddie County, and r. G. Shell, a
prominent lawyer of the county. The
discussion at first friendly, became ami
mated, and finally passed into quar-
rel. Powell's statement is that at the
end Of the conversation Shell charged
that he had insulted him, and that he
(Shel) would see him after dinner.
After dinner the two men met In the
porch Of the hotel. DIR. Powell re-
marked to Mr.. Shell that hs could see
him then. II Is stated that Shell
struck Powell In the face, when Pow
ell stabbed Shell In the side. the blade
Of the knife penetrating the lung. Mr..
Shells wound is regarded as very Sc
rious, and probably fatal; his condi.
ton is critical Powell surrendered
himself.

Killed by a Blow on the Head.

A dispatch from Newburyport, Mass,
Dec. IL, says: The excitement over
the death OF Joseph Jones last week, in
Seabrook, N. H., is on the increase, as
it is evident, on examination, that he
was murdered, it is believed, in a
drinking place near his house. Jones
was drinking man, and the only
words he uttere. on reaching his home
We're, III am shot in the eye.' His
wife, supposing him to be drunk, put a
pillow under his head, and left him at
midnight lying on the floor. Four
hours later he was dead, blood flowing
from his mouth and nose caused by a
blow at the base of the brain. Much
evidence has been gathered, but no ar.

The Solid south,

A South Carolina paper says events OF
the coming two years will demonstrate
that the "Solid South" means "good
order, absolute freedom, justice and re-
spect for the rights of all classes in the
South, and so far as the Solid South can
accomplish it, concord, peace, honor,
and public and private 'aith for the
whole American Union" Yes. And
the events of the past two years would
seem to demonstrate tn at the Solid South
is determined to secure all these things
if she has to stuff all the ballot boxes
and shoot down all the colsred citizens
and Republicans in the South to &C
complish SO praiseworthy an end
