a Splendid Tribute to Ger
WalthaI

Special Dispatch to the Washington Post I
VICKsBURG, Mss, Jan 9-Scnatar La
mar ardently espouses the election cf Gen.
Naithali. Writing to Il nlend in this CITY,
he uses the following language III regard to
him:
- l think Walthall ought to be Bruce's
successor. | say this not because of my
personal attachment to the man, but for
reason which have created aud maintained
that attachment and which you will recor-
nize when you know him. He is the nobest
ried experience OF somewhat eveutlul
life. His intellect is Of high order, having
not commonplace trait in it. 1t is vigor-
Gus in movement, intense in its operations,
and wonderfully sound and correct in in
tuitiOns and judgments. In this latter he
is excelled by no man that | ever saw. As
dehatcr he Is aggressive aiaft, ready, fall
of wit and satire, and has an intensity of
delivery which is more forcible than splen-
did rhetoric or brilliant defamation. And
then he is such a heroic man. Such lofty,
pure, generous gentleman. In all the folds
of his being there is not a coarse fibre, and
vet be is all steel in his nerve and manhood.
His heart never cherished al lgnoGle pur-
pose. If he were in the Senate, not year
would pass before he would become one of
ths Iaost brilliant, attractive and useful
leaders the South has ever sent to that body.
What | say may sound To you eXtravagant,
but if you should ever come to know him
as do you will concur in my judgment

A YOUNG GIRLS CRIME.
Killing Her Father and Then Shooting
Herself-Crazed by Her lovers Death.


Philadelphia Times.
A dispatch from Lyons, y. Y. published
in yesterdays Times announced that Miss.
Francis Hoyey of that place, had killed her
father and then shot herself. Miss. Hovey
was beautiful, respected and amiable girl,
and not long ago was the reigning belle of
Lyons. She was engaged to be married to
Eugene Raines, of Rochester, and his death,
last September, was most severe blow to
her For time the sad occurrence almost
crazed her and she has never entirely re-
covered from it. On Saturday about noon
she started for the postoIiee with some let
ters. One OF them was addressed to the
pastor of the Methodist Church, of which
she was member. Ia it she said she inten-
ded to kill her dear, kind father, who had
too much trouble" and then take her own
life. From the postofHce she went immedi-
ately to her fathers hat and cap store, in
Canal street. On entering the store, no one
but the father and the girl being present, it
is supposed that she went to the lear of the
room, where her father sat reading by the
stove, went behind him, as seen by the posi-
tion of her muf and other wrappings, took
pistol from her pocket and shot him in
the right side of the head, placing the barrel
against his temple, producing Instant death.
After this she reloaded the pistol, which
was d small single barrel one, went up stairs
in back room Of the store and sent bullet
through herown brain. 4 few minutes later
one of her brothers returned from his dinner
and, going to the rear OF the store found his
father sitting in his chair with blood trick
ling down his face. Having examined the
wound he Immediately called a physician,
who pronounced the wound 10 be one made
with bullet. A search ofthe premises was
then made, and the girl was found lying on
the floor with wound in her head which
was pronounced fatal She had small
hand glass in her hand. and with the glass,
it is supposed, she saw how to take aim.
The glass she had brought from her home.
Mr. Hoyey leaves a wife aud three sons.

A SINGULAR Story Of q Dwarf

When Christina Of Spain was in Rome,
about twenty years ago, dwarf named
Giorgia Leil was presented to her. He
was full of wit and intelligence, and
pleased the queen 30 much that she at
tached him to her service. Thanks to
her iberality, the dwarf was able to &C.
cun1llace small fortune; which he left
when he died recently, to two sisters,
married and living in Aquila. The heirs
sent two persons to Paris to receive the
gold pieces and bank bills which the ILL.,
iputian relative had left them, and these
innocent couutrymen on their return to
Rome were fellow travellers with three
persons who became very friendly with
them. The feigned travellers were going,
they said, to Alexandria for business Of
the greatest importance, and were de-
lighted to have found such agreeable
companions. When the men Of Aquila
told them that they carried the heritage
of $40, 900 in small valise, one of them
said they also had large sum of money
with them, and proposed putting it Alto
gether. The countrymen agreed to this
novel arrangement, and one of the three
travellers took charge of their united
treasure until arriving at Turin. There
the pretended friends left the train, Civ
ing the precious valise into the hands Of
the Aquiinest, and promising soon to
return. But they never did, and the de-
luded countrymen found, on examining
their valise, that the treasure had been
replaced by some humps Of lead. When
they related their adventures to the po-
lice in Rome, it seemed 80 improbable
that they themselves were held in custo-
dy until the truth of their story was
proved, and some trace of the real cul-
prits were discovered.

Winter Palace.

The winter palace at st. Petersburg,
in which the poor car tries to live, with
its population is, SO to say, city by it.
self, a status in statu, which lives and
breathes in the peculiar atmosphere sur
rounding the court and knows nothing
beyond it. It is the largest palace in
the world, accommodating within it's
walls no less than six thousand persons
attached to the court of the car during
his winter residence therein. It is much
larger than the French palaces of the
Tuileries and Louvre combined. It oc-
cupies the site Of the palace which was
burned in 1887, and was rebuilt in the
short space Of one year at the cost of un-
utterable misery, multitude of lives,
and fabulous treasure, to crafty the ca
price of a despot, and it has ever since
been haunted by gloomy and often tragic
events. It is said that in order to COM
plete the task at the time appointed by
the car the interior works were contin-
ued during the great frosts; and, when
the thermometer outside was 80 degrees
below zero of Reaumur, 5000 workmen
were daily shut up in halls heated to 80
degrees of Reaumur in order that the
walls might dry quicker; so that those
poor wretches had to endure difference
of 60 degrees of temperature. A consid-
cradle number of them died daily;
and it is said that those who were en-
gagged to paint the interior Of the most
heated halls we're obliged is place on
their heads kind of bonnet of ice in Or
der to preserve the use of their senses un-
de1lthe burning temperature. The mag
nifcence of the rebuilding within is mock
cry of the misery which fills the hearts of
the imperial inmates. It witnessed oil
the bitter disappointment Of the later
years of the Gar Nicholas reign, his
WEAKNESS of spirit and his broken heart.
Its gardens we're the scene of the abort
i've attempt of Solovief on the life of
the present car. .'.~

on the following Monday she would be
required to write composition. The
girl had a couple of big brothers, and
when they heardo of thispreemptory order

this threat, and put revolver in his
pocket before he started for the school
house on Monday morning. The big
brothers were in attendance. When the
hour came for writing compositions, the
teacher laid his revolver on the desk, and
told the refractory girl to proceed with
her task. d The big brother. kept their
seats in mute astonishment while their
sister wrote composition. A meeting

Washington. d. c.. July 2l.--The state
department is in receipt of Information that
the vessel which recently fired upon the two
American schooners in Cuban waters was the
Canto, small screw-steamer belonging to
the Spanish navy. No formal presentation
of the case will be made to the Spanish gov
eminent till the report of Admiral Wynsn,
who was yesterday ordered with the Tennes-
see to Havana, has been received,
though the Spanish authorities have thus
far denied that the firing was done by any
vessel of the Spanish navy. Assistant Secre-
tary Hay is of the opinion that such denial
was based on fact; that neither of the pre-
vious reports ofthe affair correctly stated the
zane of the offending vessel. He now thinks
that the fact of the firing and the identity Of
the vessel can be fully established; that the
Spanish authorities will set up in justitica-
ton the claim they have always made of their
right to fire on or detain suspicious vessels
within two marine leagues OF their shores.
AS our government has always resisted this
claim, there is no reason to suppose any de-
parture will be made in the present case from
the usual policy. 1t is believed the whole
matter will be formally discussed at the cab
met meeting Friday next
