Interview Between the Associated Press
Agent and Col. White.
The Associated Press agent. this morning,
called the attention of Lieut.. Col. White to
an Augusta special despatch to the Boston
Globe, stating that Col. White had been re-
lieved of the command of the regiment of
militia, and that Major Folsom of Oldtown
had been promoted to the command and
would remain at headquarters. Col. White
says he has no knowledge of any such action,
or any reason to believe the statement there.
He says he was in consultation with the Gov
ernor and Adjutant General at Augusta,
Wednesday, and as he neither expressed de-
sire to be relieved, or heard any suggestion
that he would be relieved of the command, it
was supposed that Major Folsom remained in
Augusta to look after his personal interests
as candidate fer the office of Adjutant Cen
eral.

Lassoing a Mountain Lion.

For some time past an old and gigan-
tic mountain lion has been playing
havoc with tie young colts and calves
of different herds around Walnut creek,
and so great had the destruction of
young animals become of late that q
party of experts with the lasso decided
upon the capture of the monster. Ac-
cordingly, Ike Goodman, Dan O'Leary
and Mr.. Ambrose went out to where
he was wont to roam, and laid in wait
for him. Mr.. Lion appeared every
night; therefore, they were pretty sure
of their game. They encamped near a
band of horses belonging to George
Cornell, and awaited the coming of the
g boss" lion in Northern Arizona. just
at daybreak they heard the cry of O
young colt, and knew that his lordship
the lion, was at his work. Mr.. Ambrose
and Mr.. Goodman saddled their horses
and prepared their riatas with view o
lassoing the animal. They soon founC
their game drinking the warm bloot
from a 800 colt, when Ambrose threw
the lasso over the beast, holding hin
fast and secure The lion took in tn
situation and made fight. With ON
bound he lit on the rump of the horse

White Doves and Death.

In graveyard near Exeter, England,
was erected memorial stone having
these inscriptions:
Here lies John Oxenham, goodly
young man, in whose chamber, as he
was struggling with the pangs of death,
bird with a white breasi was seen,
futtering about his bed, and so vanished.
Here lies also Mary Oxenham, sister Of
the said John, who died the next day,
and the same apparition was seen in the
ROOM" Then another sister YVES spoken
of. Then, Here lies hard by james
Oxenham, the son of the said John, who
died child in his cradle little after
and such bird was seen futtering about
his head, little before he expired
which vanished afterward." At the
bottom of the stone there was "Here
lies Elizabeth Oxenham, the mother oil
the said John, who died sixteen years
since, when such bird with white
breast was seen about her bed before her
death" To all these things there were
respectable witnesses, whose names
were engraved upon the stone. Whether
it is in existence now, we are unable tc
say. The stone was seen by the author
of the " Familiar Letters" published in
London in 1T28.

BaZaine's Failure.

The news that Bazaine is dying in the
wretched home near Madrid which is
all that he has left, has provoked no ex-
preston OF pity or sympathy from the
French. says Paris letter. Their con-
tempt for him is so profound that thew
cannot speak decently of him. Bazaine
has been rearing swine for living since
his escape from the isle of st. Margaret,
1t is rather decline from the proud
position of marshal of France. His lite
has been one long failure. His Mexican
campaign was ridiculous. He knew
hothing about the geography, the re-
sources and thescharacter of the coun-
try. A Texan, who was a Confederate
agent at Vera Cruziduring the war, told
tie writer that he was very intimate
with Bazaine for some time, and was sur
prised at his ignorance. He did not
even know that Matamoras was a large
and wealthy city, and had COMPOUNDED
it with Matamoros, small village OF
Indian cabins. "When he had drank
TWO glasses of brandy" said my in
formant, he talked admirably; but he
was all vapor- nothing else The
moment solid service was required Ba-
ZANE was utterly worthless" Had be
been more capable man / should Gel :

traitor at Metz, but his unaccountable
laisser-aller might even have allowed
him to surrender the most important
fortress in France.
