not often located in our quiet Sec

we read of girls fooling with pistols,
or getting married on horseback, or
other eccentric freaks. Miss Jones,
of Marlboro, thought she could not
fully become Mrs. Horace Tell by a

mounted her horse and gallopsd off,
and Mr.. Tell did likewise, and they

Several years ago, wealthy iron
m aster was buried at Hanging Rock,
in compliance with his request, above
ground, in an iron coffin. 1t was
raised about two feet from the ground,
supp ported by iron pillars, resting on a
flat stone Over all was placed an oc-
tagonal building of wood, about y
feet in diameter and Is feet high,
painted white, with a acupola-like roof,
surmounted by a ball. It.was in fact
a tomb, but of so novel description
as to attract crowds of strangers, to
the no small annoyance of the friends
of the deceased, who in consequence,
removed the building, and sunk the
coffin into grave near the spot.

Zach. Chandler Smoked too Much.

We recall now with sorrow an Incl
dent which was not mentioned by the
press when Senator Chandler was here.
Almost Immediately after he had fin
ished his speech he was seized with
violent pains in the stomach, and had
to be assisted to his room at the Tiff
House. Mr.. Schemerhorn, Chairman
of the Republican County Committee,
and Major John Tyler ia personal
friend) were with him and rendered
him all needed assistance. The Sena-
tors suffering was intense. He almost
tainted. But strong stimulant ad-
ministered in large quantity quickly
subdued the pain and the sick man
was himself again. He said he had
been attacked in the same way before,
and that his physician called it smok-
ing dyspepsia, and had warned him
against an excessive use of tobacco.
But" he added, smiling, as the pain
had by this time passed off entirely,
Il guess I'll take another cigar" and
he did. 1t appears that the lamented
statesman suffered a similar attack
while in Chicago the day before his
death.

Every one is sowing, both by word and deed;
All mankind are growing, either wheat or

Thoughtless ones are throwing any sort of

Surely as the sowing shall the harvest be-
See what you are throwing over hill or lea,

Senator Ben. Hill, one of the leaders OF the
Democracy, has been writing a letter, which is
thus reviewed by the New York Tribune:
BEN. HILL DOES IT AGAIN.-Sena-
tor Hill has written a letter in reply
to that one recently addressed to him
through our columns, by Mr.. Chitten-
tenden, which he will wish that he
had never written. Courtesy of man
ner does not suffice to hide or redeem
its exceeding malevolence Of tone.
That he hates the Northern people,
their ideas and ways, their honorable
convictions and their splendid in
industrial successes, quite as heartily
as he thinks the Northern people hate
the South, is apparent in almost every
sentence of this strangely ill-advised
epistle. He resembles the intoxicated
orator, who saw heads and bodies and
benches waving and staggering about
when he rose and said: Mr. Chair
man, pears to me this audiences
drunk" Because Mr.. Hill hates say
agely, he fancies that the Northern
people hate.
There are passages of his letter
beneath notice. When he says that
there never was "a generation at the
North who so little understood the
Constitution" he merely makes his
own false notions conspicuous and
contemplate. He, at least, has never
earned the right to set up his
Interpretation of the Constitution
against that of jurists like Mr.. Evarts.
There is childish petifogging, too,
in his pretence that State elections
have no just or necessary influence
upon National politics, which can be
thought sincere and honest only on
the supposition that Senator Hill is a
much thinner, weaker, and less prac-
tical man than he has been supposed
to be.
We have heard a great many excuses
or defences of the chronic Southern
proclivity to repudiate debts, and to
rob Northern creditors. But surely
there has never been weaker or more
silly defence than the one which Sem
ator Hill offers. Think, he says, of
the enormous profits which the North
has made in buying from and selling
to the South; will New-York agree
to pool the losses and the profits !?
