ceived letter by the last steamer from one of
the persons accompanying Gen. Grants party,
says that the report recently started that Gen.
Grant does not intend TO return to this country

Wilbur F. StOrey's Start i'm Life.

Thirty-one years ago Wilbur F.
Storey, proprietor of the Chicago
Times, was Postmaster of Jackson and
editor of the Patriot. A copy of the
latter, dated Feb. Z, 184S, and on file in
the County Clerks Office, contains the
proceedings of the annual meeting of
the County Bible Society, at which Mr.
Storey was elected Treasurer, and I'M
pliedly was esteemed as guileless man
and a Christian. And it seems also
that Mr.. Storey found time amid his
pressing official duties in the postoffice
to handle brands of candles which pos
sessed bis perfect confidence, since he
did not scruple to honor them with his
warrant. Here is copy of his adver-

Ais Domestic Life-How He Won and Lost

his Wife.
From the Cincinnati Inquirer.I
At the time he was candidate for
Congress he was snitor for the hand
of the daughter of Gen. Macarthur, who
was his political opponent, and, we be-
lieve, engaged to be married to her.
Perhaps not engaged, though, as she
afterwards married Col. Coons, OF
Louisiana. Col. Coons, however, soon
died, and, in the course of time, Allen
renewed his suit and was accepted.
During his second term in the Senate
the wedding day was appointed, and
everything made ready for the marriage.
Just about this time the Texas annexa-
ton question came up and he wrote to
his affianced, who was at that time hv-
ing in Cincinnati, asking her to post
pone the ceremony until that question
was decided. To this she consented,
and the nuptials were celebrated as
soon afterward as he could leave. He
took his bride back with him to Wash
ington, and for nearly two years life
was to him but long summers day OF
happiness. Never was husband loved
more faithfully or trustingly than he by
her; never wife more tender and sffec-
tionately than she by him. In January,
1947, his wife died, leaving an infant
child, the daughter who has since grown
up to be the head of his household and
of her husbands. At the time of his
wife's death there were no railroads con-
Meeting the capital with the West. The
fond husband would not think for
moment of consigning the remains of
the one he loved and held dear to
grave amid strangers, and so he decided
to transport them to Chilhcothe for
burial. So he procured the survives of
an undertaken and started with them,
he riding behind on horseback. When
night would overtake them they would
stop at the nearest hotel, and he would
have the coffin taken from the hearse
and borne to his own apartment, where
he kept watch over it until morning
came and time to start again. More
than week elapsed in this mournful
trip; yet at no moment during that
time was his mournful gaze taken away
from the last remains of her whom he
had loved so dearly in life, and could
scarcely part with in death. After her
burial he returned to Washington and
finished his term of office, and then he
betook himself with his child to his
Ohio home, where he for so long led
life of retirement among his books and
the study of science and philosophy.

How To Get a Lover.

In Lancashire, if an inquirer wishes
to know the abode of a lover, an apple
pippin is taken between the thumb and
finger, and, while moving round,
squeezed out. when il is supposed to fly
in the direction of the lovers house.
These words are said at the same time
Pippin, pippin, paradise,
Tell me where my true love lies;
East west. north or south,
Pilling Brig or Cockermouth.
Halliwell, in his Popular Rhymes
1849), says that girls formerly prac-
ticed dlvination with a "St. Thomas
onion" which they peeled, wrapped in
clean handkerchief, and laid under
their heads, saying the following
rhyme:
Good st. Thomas, do me right,
And see my true love come tonight,
That may see MIN in the face,
And him in kind arms embrace
In Shropshire, to find ones future
partner the blade-bone of lamb must
be procured, which is to be pricked at
midnight with penknife, and these
words repeated
lis not this bone wish to pick.
But my loves n, art wish To prick;
If he comes not and speaks tonight,
I'll prick aud prick Till ii he light.
In Derbyshire they have method
which it would take a bold heart to
perform; the young woman, to find out
her future husband, runs round the
church at midnight, as the clock strikes

SOW hemp-seed hemp-seed sow
H that loves me best
Come, anu after me NOW.
After which her destined partner is be-
heved to follow her.

Nerve Inquietude ana its Remedy.

Restless nerves, at least those that are
constantly so, are weak ones as we'll. The
true way to tranquilize them thoroughly is
to strengthen them. 1t may be, nay, it
very often is necessary to have recourse to
sedative or even an opiate, in dangerous
cases of nerve inquietude, but the con-
tinued use of such unnatural palliatives, is
greatly to be deprecated. Though not, in q
restricted sense, a specific for nervousness

Anderson Murder Trinl.

The evidence for the defense proceeded.
Dr. w. R. Woodward was examined by
Major Blackburn. A hypothetical case was
stated to the witness. in which it was as
sured that the patient had once been a
healthy, active, intelligent and cheerful
young man; that after contracting syph-
ills. sores broke out al over his body; that
he became morose and melancholy, lost his
memory, had hallucinations, and that,
in addition to this, there was a
hereditary taint of insanity in the family
and the witness was asked whether such a
person was sane or not. He answered that
in his judgment the individual was insane,
but he never heard of such case as that
described.
On cross examination the witness stated
that he never treated case of insanity in
his practice.
DR.. Reamy was also. examined as an ex-
pert, and he testified Che same as DR.. Wood
ward. ..
