REPUBLICAN, SURRENDER TO MA
HONE.--The Valley Nirginian is evil
IDENTIFY apprehensive that the Republi.
can party in Virginia is on the point Of
surrepdering to Malone, and it appeals
to its party not to commit political sui.
eide. 1t maintains that such an igno-
minious surrender, "would excite the
derision of the country and place upon
them stigma from which they could
never escape, for it would be the death
and the disgrace of the Republican
party of the State"
The signs of the times indicate, how
ever, that the "a, 900 Republicans will
follow in the wake of the 81, 600 follow
ers of Malone. The mountain will go
to Mahomet.
REPUBLICANS INCONsIsTENCY.-The
Richmond State says that, on Monday
Of last week, "John Sherman must have
felt very like wiping off his chin and
pulling down his vest in the Senate
when Senator Vest drew that Van Au-
ken letter upon him. 1t was evidently
. surprise, and the late Secretary no
doubt recognized the awkwardness of
his position, as shown by the inconsls-
tency Of his course in welcoming to his
bosom the regulators of the Virginia
debt now, when only last year be made
it question of removal of the officers
of the Treasury Department in Virginia
If they should in any manner whatever
countenance that party"

WHAT SENATOR PUGH SAYs.-In an
able speech in the Senate last Tuesday,
Senator Pugh of Alabama, says the
Washington correspondent of the Rich
mond State, predicted that the kind
of independent movement recently in
augurated by Senator Malone would
crystalize the solidity of the South. by
purging 1t of traitors to race and party
and make 1t eager to Illustrate such plans
and expectations. The solid South
could never be disintegrated by any
movement or policy founded upon q
distrust and hatred of the white people
and an intent to make the negro the
dominant race in that section"

THE TAIL TO MAHoNE's KITE.-The
White Republicans of this State revolt
at the idea of being made tail to sail
the kite Of Malone, who assumes to
take control Of their party, and they
will act for themselves, and have .
ticket of their own, unless they consent
to feast upon "crow," for which they
have no relish.
1t would be spectacle to see Wick
ham, Jorgenson, Dezendorf, the Vat-
lev Virginidn, and other Republicans,
marching with arms reversed in hui
initiation and degradation in the rear OF
Malone and his followers. It Is rather
more than nature can bear, and is hui
initiating scene which we can scarcely
believe will be enacted. Yet there are
indications that it is at least possible,
if not probable. Should it occur, there
will be fun for the multitude. The
principles and independence of the Re.
publicans will then be among the
things that were.

Mr.. Willis who lives i'm Oldham

day Mr.. Willis was walking through
a piece of woods about a mile from
his house, when he saw his cat "A
few yards ahead OF him, sitting in a
kind of recess under "A rock. IL
would sit still for IA long time, then
walk over to some object near il in
the hole and rub its head against IL,
purring most contentedly. What
was his aStonishment when he came
up to the edge of the rock, and saw
that the object of the cats attention
was nothing more nor less than
large black snake. The snake was
curled up In a ring, and when the
cat would approach il the snake
would thrust up its head to receive
the cats caresses. This continued
for about half an hour, when the
cat evidently grew weary, and aft
or turning around several times to
inshure comfortable position lay
down beside the snakean WIS soon
fast asleep. The next day Mr.. VIII
lis took couple Of friends with him
to witness this strange spectacle.
The menmuvers were repeated. At

G. A. Townsend in the New York Tribune
Being at Point Lookout, Md.
during the week, examining the
new railroad from Washington city
to that point, its protector, S. Tay
lor Suit, once that ARIEL of the
Gold Room in New York, later 9
Maryland planter, told this remin.
iScence:
"There lived near me in Prince
Georges county, at Upper Marlbor.
Ough, cousin and faVorite of Gen
Robert E. Lee named John 2. Lee.
He was Judge Advocate of the
United States army, and when the
war broke out Was absurd enough
! to resign this comfortable place,
and his rank of Major to go over to
the COnfederacy. My intimate re-
latioDs with him led me to know

Lamon. On Saturday night / went
to his room at the SpotsWood Ho-
tel, and found him lying on his bed
weeping. L inquired the cause, but
he SObbed that he could not tell me
then. Being mystitied and excited,
| pressed to know his grievance,
and he finally said: i am going
off in the morning to Washington :,
before go | will tell you.' He in
formed me at Rockets, as the
steamer was about to depart, that
President Lincoln had been muir
dered. / came ashore again, and,
filed with the weight of such infor-
nation, which was known to but
few in Richmond, / thought it
would justify me in calling on Gen.
Lee, who had arrived a day or two
before, and was at his dwelling.
There 1 was told that Gen. Lee was
about to attend religious service,
but would be at home about 1890
o'clock. l called again and he re-
ceived me cordially, and inquired
particularly about various friends,
places and interests about Washing
ton, Baltimore aud Maryland. IL
nally said to him:
''Gen. Lee, have a piece of pri-
vate information which 1 came
here to give you, sir. The .Presi-
dent of the United States, Abraham
Lincoln, was aSSassinated night be-
fore last in Washington city,
HE turned suddenly, his face
being but half turned toward me
before, and looked into my eyes
with an expression / shall never
forget. He looked me through and
through.
General said /, there can be no
doubt of it. The Presidents Mar
shal, Col. Lamon. told me of it,
and it has been fully confirmed in
cipher messages to the military au-
thorities. What do you think |
about it, Gen. Lee ?'
"He raised his head and chin, |
assumed a positive expression, and |
"The South has lost her best
friend :"
"Before came away remarked:
General, l would like to have your |
opinion as to who is the best of
your Generals ?"
'sHe answered, still a little stun
ned and preoccupied

What n C0IOred woman Stumbled
Upon i'm N Giles County Orchard.
Nashville American.

A negro woman, Il cook on the
farm of the late Mr.. Albert BufOrd,
in Giles county, was walking
through an orchard near the family
residence, on Saturday afternoon
last, when she stumbled over an
old fruit can. Turning to look at
the obstacle, which had given pc
culiar rattling sound at the contact
of her foot, she picked it up and
found it sealed. She called Mr..
VIM. H. Buford, son of Mr.. Al
bert Buford, who happened to be in
the yard close by, and gave him
the can to open. MIR. Buford open
ed the can, turned it up, and pile
of glittering gold coin fell out. The
woman, in her surprise, asked if
"dem was quarters" They turned
out to be ten and twenty dollar
gold pieces, amounting in all to two
thousand dollars.
The find caused some excitement
in the neighborhOOd among the
negroes, who contended that the
money belonged to the finder, but
it will be proved to be portion
of large sum of money which Mr..
Albert Buford buried about his
house during the war. All of the
money he buried was found before
Mr.. Buford's death with the eXcep-
tion of this $1,000, the search for
which had been given up years
ago. The lost can of money had
been stirred about time and again
by the plOw-shares, the spot on
which it was found having been
cultivated n number of years. The
money was deposited in Pulaski.
The negroes were quieted when
they were assured the finder would
be rewarded.

A correspondent of the Knoxville
Dispatch says: 81 met on the road
out, Ex-Governor James d. Porter,
the man to whom, more than any
other, the state is indebted for her
present position before the world as
debt-paying, anti-repudiating
state. At a time when the first
outcroppings of the Savage Wilson
movement became apparent, Por-
ter, as Governor, took a position on
the question of the state debt, about
which there could be no mistake.
He said that the credit of the state
of Jackson and of Polk must be
preserved, and after a precarious
conflict of over two years it has
been. Porter deserves the most
credit for his manly position at
that doubtful hour, because no one
could foresee on which side the vic
tory would fall, whether for state
credit or against it. Tennessee will
not forget him."

The way to get the better of a
bilious system without blue pill or
quinine is to take the Juice of one,
two or three or more lemons, as the
appetite Graves in as much ice-wa-
ter as makes it pleasant to drink
without sugar, before going to bed.
In the morning. on arising or at
least half an hour before breakfast,
take the juice Of one lemon in a
goblet of water. This will clear the
system of humours and bile, with
mild efficacy, without any of the
weakening effects of calomel or
Congress water. People should not
irritate the stomach by eating lem
ons clear; the powerful acid of the
juice, which is almost corrosive, in
fallibly produces inflammation after
while, but properly diluted, SO
that it does not draw or burn the
throat, it does its full medical work
without harm, and when the stOm-
ach is clear of food has abundant
opportunity to work on the system
thoroughly.

constant companions and the fore
most men in their class. A brother
student sketched the three in a

some NEen,s tuck.
Detroit Free Press.

Gen. Gordon was severely wound
ed four times in one battle and
within an hour, and lived to fight
again; and this is only specimen
Of the singular good luck that at
tended some men. In 1864 Michi-
gan cavalryman named Drake was
out fOraging in the Shenandoah val
ley in company with a comrade
named Cooper. Cooper was in a
smOke-house after meat and Drake
was on guard at the door when
thirteen Confederates suddenly ap-
peared. They were mounted, and
advanced at gallop, part of them
firing as they rode up. One bullet
found suitable opening in the
stone wall of the smOke-house, and
flew in and killed Cooper dead in
his tracks. Drake was standing
beside his horse, and his saddle
was hit by three bullets, one of
which glanced through his hat.
As soon as the trooper could real
ize what had happened he swung
himself into saddle and dashed at
the circle around him. The mo-
ment he happened in view he was
a target for carbine and pistol. His
horse made a rush at the line, but
was driven back. Followed by
Cooper's horse he galloped around
and across circle not over 100 feet
across, all the time under steady
fire by the Confederates. This fire
was soon returned by Drake, who
fired away seven cartridges and
then drew his saDer. His seven
bullets, as afterward vouched for,
killed two men, wounded two
more, and killed one horse. His
fire broke the circle, and he got out
of it, but for thirty rods, as he
made off, he was exposed to the fire
of nine or ten men. CoOper's horse
was killed in the circle, while
Brakes was hit no less than nine
times and yet not disabled. AS for
the rider, his comrades, on his re-
turn to camp, counted up a record
of a truly-miraculous escape. Three
bullets struck his scabbard, two his
hat, four went through his clothing,
one burned his cheek, one raked his
knee, and two hit his left boot.
While one single bullet killed the
one trooper, the other had sixteen
fired point blank at him and yet
did not lose drop of blood. Coop
er's horse was killed by one bullet,
while nine failed to disable the
larger and more exposed animal.
