Gen. Sam Eouston's Wife.

The Memphis (Tenn.) appeal says
The letter written by Col. Willoughby
Williams, of Nashville, has created much
discussion here in Memphis as to the cause
of the separation of Gen. Willoughby from
his first wife. Both parties have relations
in this city, and, Of course, both parties
have their version of the matter. Mr.. Asa
Jarnan, of Texas, has just completed
memoir of the Life of Gen. Sam Houston.
Jarman's version of the separation of Hous-
ton and his wife is probably the true one.
He says that Houston married, while Gov
ernor of Tennessee, the beautiful Miss
Lucy Dickerson, not willingly, but under
the pressure Of parental influences. She
had been engaged to Mr.. Robert Nicker-
son, whom she desired to marry, and when
Nickerson returned to Nashville her love
fer him was as warm as ever. Houston,
becoming convinced that his wife was more
attached to her old lover than to himself.
accused her accordingly, when, with much
womanly feeling she confessed that it was
true, announcing that she I" liked Nicker-
sons little finger better than Houston's
whole body" Houston thereupon inform
ed her that she had better marry Nicker-
son, and without a word to the public he
abandoned the Gubernatorial Office and
quietly left the States Cor the Indian set

How Uncle Sam is Dsfcauded.

Some of these New York custom house
matters are not without interest to New
England readers. The ribbon drawback
claims, under which upwards of $2,O00,00
were taken from the Treasury, were based
on a cunning device, one thread of fax
having been wove into the edge of the rib
bon, which was no longer silk fabric,
paying so per cent. duty, but fabric of
which silk was a component part, paying
but 90 per cent. duty. Secretary Fessen-
den, decling to refund the 10 per cent. diff
ference. a suit was brought against the
Collector of Customs at Boston TO recover
it, but Judge Clifford ruled against the al-
lowance. A firm of New York lawyers
had meanwhile been appointed the attor-
Deys of importers holding large amounts of
claims, and they retained the services of
Sam Ward, the lobby king at Washington,
to secure legislation, fixing the duty on
fabrics of which silk was component
part at so cents. Mr.. Dawes tariff bill
came in due time before the House, and
Mr.. Brooks presented an innocent looking
amendment, declaring the duty on fabrics
of which silk was component part at so
cents. It would have been adopted but
for MI. Sam Hooper, who had an inkling
of what was transpiring, and be comm1ni-
ted his suspicious to Mr.. Dawes. The re-
suit was that Messrs. Dawes, Beck and
Kelley looked into the matter and defeated
the job, to the great disgust Of MIR. Ward,
who thought that ITS passage was secure.
The New York attorneys then made an ar
rangement by which the importers were to
recei-e so per cent. of any drawbacks re-
ceived and relinquish the remaining 80 per
cent. A decision opposite to that of Judge
Clifford was obtained from anothert Court,
and was affirmed by Attorney General
Williams. Secretary Boutwell, declined to
refund, Notwithstanding this decision, but
his successor, Secretary Richardson, de-
clared that Attorney General Williams
decision should be respected, and ordered
that claims amounting to over $4,000, 900
should be refunded. It has been stated
here that Of this the importers received
30 per cent. and the New York lawyers 90
per cent; Gen. B. F. Butler, who had been
retained as special counsel, 16 per cent,
while the remaining 8 per cent was paid
for expenses incurred. - Washington Spec

Dick CoIeman's VIII,

just roll me over to the other side,
And stir the straw-yes, that's better 30
Smooth down the blankets-no the bunks not vide
Bring in some water, Ben, before you go.
How long have been sick week to-day;
Yes, that is it; I've taken cold again
You do not know how hard it is to lay,
Without a soul to speak to, in such pain.
Take that old coat and place it meath my head,
And hang this shirt just SO, to hide the light:
The boys do all they can, but then the bed
Is not of down, and sunshine hurts my sight.
There. that is nice: pull that old box up near.
And sit moment. Are the boys in camp?
Tell them to bring my pick and shovel here;
What struck lead Ben won't you light the lamp?
Not dark, not dark; Just take my hand dear Ben;
l think my head has gone little wrong,
You do not think I'm dying now, well, then,
Call in the boys, I know it can't last long.
All here-good bye, have no will to make;
Yes, there's my claim, boys, If you strike lead
just give mother something for my sake;
Trust you, aye with thousand claims if need.
There was faint gasp, a quivering of the breath,
And all was quiet. Not word was said,
We stood moment face to face with death,
Each with an honest sorrow for the dead.

Long shambling limbs and sinews tough as oak:
Weknew his heart, his bravery and his truth,
And listened while his words the silence broke,

On the hillside, and marked the place when don
With great stone onr hearts were full of prayer
For the mnthar whn had Loaf snn
