was soon buried in employment more suited

"Ah how so," said Mr.. Willoughby.
"Well, in the heat of the action, Ferguson
ordered a body of troops, under the com
mand of the Lieutenant, to silence party OF
sharp.shooters who were picking off the red
coats as fast as they could load. The party
had ventured quite near the encampment
and were playing merrily with their rifles
when the Lieutenant bore down upon them.
He forced them from their position, and to
cover their retreat, Major Davie brought
up bis men for a charge. The Lieutenant
got blow on his sword arm, which left him
deienceless and he was in the act of being cut
down when Davie rescued him. He bore him
from the field, and happily meeting with Mr..
Adams, who is quite a surgeon in his way,
prevailed on him to put down his musket for
a while and tie up the officers arm. 1t was
an ugly wound, and bled profusely. Mr..
Adams conducted him to place Of safety,
and again returned to his musket, which he
loaded much more calmly than he breaches.
After the fight was over, Davie paid every
attention to the wounded officer, which he
gratefully returned by the warmest acknowl'
edgement of kindness. Graham has not only

"He certainly has the most winning exte.

earnestly on his still sleeping guest. "He
looks like one tenderly nurtured."
"He is pale now from loss Of blood, which
gives his delicate features feminine beau
ty; but 1 judge he is no stranger to athletic
exercises. That light frame is sinewy," replied
Sewer. "But the Major will want to hear
how he has stood the fatigue. 1 must be

Mr. Willoughby. "Your young friend might

us look to the end of the struggle. Whist
kind of liberty are you contending for? A
republicanism with the enjoyment Of rights
which are defined by the despotism of num-
bers? A democracy which consists IN the
aristocracy of orators, interrupted perhaps by
the monarchy Of single one. A fortunate
struggle may rid you of many grievances, but
what will emancipate you from the prejudice,
the anarchy, the confusion, that this war will
inevitably entail upon you?"
"You argue from the republican states OF
antiquity and the eloquence of demagogues;
but now you must consider the eloquence of
legislative assemblies is subjected to the strict.

it retains its ascendancy, it can only be by

n6- An old teamster of fifty years expe-
rience, says he has never had case of the
gals upon his animals where the following
preventive was adopted, which was simply to
rub the collars inside every few days with
little neatsfoot oil, and the moment any dirt
was found sticking, like wax, to wash it off
with warm soapsuds and then oil. A yoke
from oxen, or collar from horse, should not
be removed when brought into the stable from
work until the sweat is entirely dry, and all
chafed spots should be oiled.

NEGRO ELOOUEECE.
TO BE CONTINUED.

One of the most remarkable cases, or rath.
er conclusion of case, that ever occurred in
the history of Jurisprudence in this country,
occurred in Waxahachie. during the last term
of the district court of Ellis county.
A negro was indicted for entering into
conspiracy to murder. He was brought to
trial, the evidence was strong, and in spite Of
the good fight made in his defense by his at
torney, he was convicted. a motion tor
new trial was made, and the judge seeing that
no error of the law was made, and believing
the evidence sufficient, promptly overruled
the motion. When the prisoners were brought
in to be sentenced, this negro was amcng them.
When asked if he had any thing to say why
sentence should not be passed upon him, he
said that he knew that anything he might
say would have no weight with the court, as
all the forms of law had been complied with,
and he knew he must go to the penitentiary.
But that he had something to say for the
benefit of his colored friends, and with the per-
mission of the court he would make few
remarks. The court told him that he would
listen. The negro started off slowly and de-
liberately, reviewing the testimony, showing
the inconsistencies of witnesses statements,
and then, carried away with idea of the wrong
done him, he burst forth in a strain of elo.
ouence seldom heard. When he sat down the
Judge said, "sam, thought you guilty. 1
don't believe it now, and will set aside the judg.
ment overruling your motion for new trial,
and give you another chance" So eloquent
ly had the negro presented his case that the
county attorney then dismissed his case, and
the prisoner walked out of the court room

BAD BEHAVIOR OF A CoRPsE.-Several
days ago Mr.. J. McCloud, of Faulkner coun-
ty, died Of rheumatism. A large party vol
unteered to sit up with the corpse, and when
night came many sad faces were seen, sallow-
ed by the mellowing light Of tallow candles.
The minister came, and entering the room
remarked
"Earth to earth and ashes to ashes"
The corpse lay on a table covered with a
sheet.
"I thought saw the sheet move" said one
of The watchers" "see if there is cat un-
der itr
The company sat still.
"I am confident that sheet moved" said
the man.
The minister arose and lifted the sheet, and,
standing, be looked at the pallid face Of the
dead man. The corpse's head left the table.
The minister fell back. Stiff, stark and ter
rible the corpse slowly arose from the table
and attained sitting posture. The legs re.
nained stretched out and the arms folded.
The women shrieked and ran from the room,
and the minister, reprimanding them for their
weakness and want of confidence, climbed a
fence and stood in turnip patch. When
the frightened people saw that the corpse
did not intend to follow, they went back in
to the house. The corpse still retained the
upright, rigid posture, stiff as the attitude
struck by the amateur on the stage.
With fears somewhat allayed, the minister
advanced, and placing a hand on the dead
mans breast, pressed him backward. Pro"
portionately as the head went down the heels
came up, and when the head touched the
board, his heels were high in the air. The
cause of the dead mans freak was then dis.
covered. The muscles of the dead mans
stomach, distorted by rheumatism, were con-
tracing. 1t required the efforts of two men
to strai ghten the corpse.-[Little Rock (Ark)
