GEN. BowEN,s eRAvR.
Raymond Gazette


A representative Of the Gazatte jn ones.
Of reliable Information concerning the bnrisI
place OF Mgj0T-General John s. Bowen. left
Raymond "Wednesday morning, and stop-
ping at the Bush residence, ten miles south
west of Raymond, was Joined by Mr.. j. N.
Bush, who guided us TO the "Carues place -
one mile farther on, where the spot sought
for was readily found.
About four hundred yards west of the
iead leading from Raymond to Edwards. IL
miles from tue former, and six miles from
tue latter, stands large two story house. a
nagnIheent grove in front, dotted with
statelt OAKS, magnolias, aud other varieties
oi trees, the shetering branches of which
are particularly inviting to the weary and
dusty traveller. The property is known as
the oafnes place, aud was owned in 1868
by Mrs. John Walton, a widow who after
wards married Mr. o. c. Riyes. II nsxt
passed into the hands of Mr.. Jeff L. Nc.
Gehee, who about twelve months AGO sold
TO Mr.. J. W. Ratliff Mr. F. NJ McNemar
at this time occupies the residence, and
/ looks after the interest of the owner For
tunately, We found both Of these gentlemen
at home, who willingly took us into the
garden, IN the rear of the house, and pointed
out the spot where lies buried Major Gen
eral John ;. Bowen, as gallant a soldier rs
ever drew blade in defence Of any cause In
the western corner Of the enclosure were
seen two mounds, almost efiaced but still
dscernible. Beneath the one rests Col.
Desmukes, of = Missouri regiment beneath
the other all that remains OF Gen. Bowen.
No headstone marks the spot, aud none can
tell which Is which, save the lew individuals
who survive the hall dozen persons that
mlnistered 10 the invalid in his last hours.
The garden in which he rests contsins no
trees or shubbery. The graves are entirely
protected from intrusion, and are TO some
extent cared tor by Mr.. McNemar, who was
engaged with Gen. Bowen in his last fight
around PORT Gibson, aud reveres the men,
ory of his leader.
GEN. BOWEN WAS NOT KILLED,
as is supposed, but died a natural death.
He was taken i'll with hux either at Vicks-
burg, or near that point, and rather than 60
into the city, and risk the chances of cap
ture and ill-treatment by the Federal forces,
came into the country. He found no shell
ter at Edwards and stopped first at the
place then owned by Mr.. Farrar Morrison,
four miles from town, which was in charge
of Mr., Joshua Stone, but owing to the scar
city of servants that gentleman advised
him to 60 TO Mrs Walton's two miles fur
ther on. This was about the 26th OF June,
1868; on the 1st of July, only three days
before the fall of Vicksburg, he breatLed
his last. His wife and two or three from
the neighborhood we're the only persons
present.

SCIENCE.

BILE makes the distance of the sun from
the earth 92.085. 900 miles, with prob
able error of one quarter of one per
cent, or about 223,OO0 miles.
Some idea of the demand for coral
that exists throughout the world may
be formed from the fact that from the
bank near the little town of Sciacca,
Sicily, alone, within the past four years
more than 1874, 900 pounds of coral
have been fished.
Judge Stephen J. Fled, of the United
States supreme court, in late CONVEX
sation with Mr.. James. r. Randall, the
gifted Washington correspondent of
the Augusta Chronicle, gives him a
new specific for the cure of indigestion
and sleeplessness. 1t is cup half full
of claret made as hot as the throat can
bear it by the addition of boiling water.
Justice Field has used it with great
success, and says ''the mild claret touch
ed his brain with drowsiness and his
stomach with more than Gilead's
balm"
The great red spot on the planet
Jupiter still attracts large share of
attention from astronomical observers.
The spot is of an elliptical form with
tapering ends, and covers a vast area,
being $4,000 miles long and $500 broad.
This spot was observed more than three
years ago. 1t does not materially
change, though the ordinary dark
bands on Jupiter's disc are constantly
changing. One theory is, that the red
spot is portion of the body of the
planet which by atmospheric changes
has become visible.
Photographic operators have 50
availed themselves of electric light
that they are not dependent on the sun.
The Philadelphia Times says: The ad-
vantage of the electric light for this
world is really immense. 1t made the
Photographer completely independent
of the weather, and he can work at
night just as well as in daytime. 1t
frequently happens that just at the
photographers busiest season, about
Christmas time, for instance, the wealth
er is very inclement. 1t often rains for
days. But orders for enlarged copies
of pictures come in briskly. Formerly
about three ourths of our patrons
would be disappointed. The bad
weather would make it simply impossi-
BILE to execute their orders, but now al
this is changed; no matter to what num-
Der the order accumulate, they do not
worry the photographer. He send
them off to one of the enlarging house
which use the electric light, and they
are all done on time, no matter what
kind of weather there may be.

Who Cayendish Was.

Lord Frederick Charles Cavendish,
who was appointed to succeed Forster
IS chief secretary for Ireland last
Thursday, was the second surviving
son Of the seventh duke of Devonshire.
He was born at Compton place, the
Sussex seat of the Cavendish family,
November 80, 1886. He was educated
at Trinity college, Cambridge, and was
private secretary to Lord Granville
from 1859 TO 1864, when the latter
was president of the council. In June.
1864, he was married to Lucy Caroline,
second daughter of Lord Lyttleton.
He was liberal, in politics, and since
1865 he has represented the North
west riding of Yorkshire in parliament.
Since the formation of the Gladstone
ministry he has been financial secreta-
~ to the treasury. All the sons of the
duke Of Devonshire are members of the
British parliament. The duke has
been in the house of lords since 1884.
His heir, the marquis of Harrington
has been in the house of commons
most of the time since 1857, and a
few years ago he was the leader of the
Liberals during the temporary retire
ment of Mr.. Gladstone. Lord Edward
Cavendisb, third son Of the duke,
has been in the commons most
OF the time since 1866. The
duke of Devonshire is a man Of influ-
ence in the private councils of his
party, but his studious habits have
kept him from coming much before
the public. The Cavsndishes have the
reputation of being good landlords,
and they have generally acted upon the
principle that property owners have
duties as well rs rights. The family
has more than once rendered valuable
services to popular causes. The es-
tates Of the duke of Devonshire-193,-
600 acres-are in fourteen counties.

Fourteen Life Mistakes,

Somebody has condensed the mis-
takes of life and arrived at the conclu-
sion that there are fourteen of them.
Most people would say, if they told the
truth, that there was no limit to the
mistakes of life; that they were like
the drops in the ocean or the sand of
the shore in number, but it is well to
be accurate. Here, then, are fourteen
great mistakes: alt is great mistake
to set up our own standard Of right
and wrong and judge people accord
ingly; to measure the enjoyment of
others by our own; to expect unifOl M
ity of opinion in this world; to look for
judgement and experience in youth !;
to endeavor TO mould all dispositions
alike; not to yield to inmaterial trifles !;
to look for perfection in our own ac-
tons; to worry ourselves and others
over what cannot be remedied; not to
alleviate all that needs alienation as
far as lies in our power; not to make
allowances for the infrmities of 9TH
ers; to consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform; to believe on
ly what our infinite minds can grasp !;
to expect to be able to understand ev-
erything. The greatest OF mistakes is
to live only for time when any mo-
pent may launch us into eternity"

American Forestry Congress.

The Forestry Congress met at Music
Hall, Cincinnati, Ohio, April 21st. The
committee on constitution and bylaws
reported that the name of the organi-
cation shall be the American Forestry

for publishing the names of members,
and catalogue of the papers written
for it. The Forestry Congress prom
ises to be a very important organiza-
ton. Every state and territory will
be represented, and its objects are of
the utmost practical value to the
country. Its members are among the
most Influential citizens of the United
States. George B. Loring is president

An Underground River.

Idaho Democrat.
Mete Green, not long since while out
with his cattle, made most startling
discovery, and one that may possibly
take lis place among the grand won
ders Of Idaho. He was riding along
early in the morning on the divide
between Indian creek and Snake river,
when his horse sprang aside, snorted,
and otherwise gave evidence of having
seen or heard something unusual. The
spot wa, on little knoll on the comb
Of the ridge, and Mete, who had been
almost asleep, taking sweep around
with his eyes to learn the cause of his
horses behavior, finally rested his Wis
ground a few PAGES distant. Dis
mounting he was soon looking into a
funnel-shaped erifce fifteen or twenty
feet deep by ten or twelve at its rim in
diameter. At the bottom of this fun
nel-the soil giving out there-was a
rift in the rock two or three feet in
width by four or five in length, which
seemed to open into the very bowels Ct
the earth. Through this aperture
came up from the depths below a
terrible roaring, as if leaping cata-
ract, a mighty rush of waters, was
tumbling over rocks. The ground
trembled, and the subterranean noise
continued uninterruptedly. Mete re-
manned some time, and the longer he
listened the more convinced he became
that what he heard was running water,
but how far down to the stream he
could not even conjecture-it might
have been a few feet or halfway to
China. And rs the assure was large
enough to take him in should his foot
slip or "head SWIM" his observation
was not an extended one. The princi-
pal thing he did while there was to
listen low and think loud-at safe
distance from the brink of the hole.

cIRcUMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
The Cruel Wrong it Caused an limo
cent Man in Iowa.

Council Bluffs Eonpareil.
Over a year ago, man named George
Bennett was sent to the penitentiary
from Montgomery county for three
years, = sentences imposed upon him
after being convicted of selliag quaint.
ty of grain to dealer in Red Oak. re-
presenting himself TO be farmer re-
siding near that place. The fraud was
not detected until the sharper had
skipped, and after some search Bennett
was taken in on the charge by one of
that class of men who are detectives
because they are too stupid to make a
living at anything else. Bennett was
taken before the swindled grain men.
They Tecollected that the man who had
swindled them had chin of peculiar
shape, and this man had the same kind
of a chin. On this sort of testimony
one of that wise body of men known
as grand juries indicted the man. The
poor fellow himself on the stand denied
each and every charge, but the Jury
were all too smart to believe anything
that a man under arrest would saw.
and voted him guilty, and the wise
judge sentenced him to three years in
the penitentiary.
1t seems that Sheriff Palmer, of the
county, was not satisfied with the
Identification of the man, and set to
work to ferret it out and discover the
true criminal. He found a clew and
was soon on the track of his man-one
VIM. Hill. He found him in Missouri,
and arrested him. At first he vocifer
ously denied the charge. But when he
was teld that another man had been
arrested and convicted for the crime,
and was now serving out a term in
the penitentiary for it, he said with
touch of human feeling, 81 was mean
enough to swindle the grain firm out
of the money when 1 was hard up.
But l am net mean enough man to
let another man serve out tie punish
ment for my crime" He went willing
ly with the sheriff to Red Oak, and
seemed so impatient to free the man
who wal suffering on his account that
he asked to be taken before a notary,
where he swore to his own guilt. This
sworn statement, with large petition
from the people, including the two
juries who had tried and convicted
Bennett, and the judge who had SEN
fenced him, were laid before Governor
Sherman, who signed pardon. The
grand jury also investigated Hills case.
and indicted him.

a Trained Mustache.

Topeka Capital.
Another youth with a bright future
and carefully trained mustache has
come TO grief, and this time it is Will
liam Anderson, of Leavenworth, for
merly captain Of the Barry cadets, a
military organization there composed
of lads belonging to the best and first
families of the town. He was a
masher, and clerked in a dry goods
store, where, the papers say, he was n
very good salesman and commanded a
good deal of trade. He talked great
deal Of the fne.haired acquaintance
he used to have in st. Louis, and this
gained him the entire to the best society
of Leavenworth. Now William was
an expensive young man, and it took q
good deal of money to run him, and rs
his salary WAS by no means adequate,
he began to appropriate the profits of
Ais employer. He would collect a bill
and turn over but half the amount,
saying the debtor was little hard up
and would pay the remainder next
month. In this way he got ahead Of
the house some $500 or so, and then
gathering together his worldly goods
he silently skipped. There is a good
deal OF regret expressed that William
has turned out in this way, but then a
youth, no matter what the color OF
condition of his mustache, cannot dress
like u lord and live like a prince on
$50 per month. Yet this is what
seems TO have been the matter with
William and of course the result could
not have been otherwise. There is a
moral to this little tale, which is that
It is better, probably, not to go int
such good society, dress plain and live
within your means than to make a
splurge. rob your employer and become
a fugitive from justice with the doors
of al classes Of society, except those
barred ones which limit the freedom
Of convicts, closed against you forever

Congressman Lynch.

Ohlcago lines.
Congressman Lynch, the representa-
tive of the "shoe-string" district in
Mississippi, who has ousted Chalmers,
is light, coffee-colOred mulatto, with
but few of the marks of the negro.
He is man of some property, is but
81 years of age, anu, considering that
he was a slave until he was IL, and
until he reached that age could neither
read nor write. has made decided edu-
cational progress. AS a writer and
speaker he is represented as considera.
bly, above the congressional average.
He has plantation of 40 acres near
Natchez, in which city he learned the
art of photography, and managed a
gallery for some years. But most of
his active life has been passed in poll
tics. At % he was speaker OF the
Mississippi house, and has been a can
didate for congressman four times.
On the whole he seems to be a good
deal of "a man, and he has this advant-
age over Chalmers-he was honestly
elected.

An authentic life of the Cardinal, by
Mr.. Kegan Paul, the well-known Lon
don publisher, will accompany it. In
writing this life Mr.. Kegan Paul has
had the assistance of the Cardinals
most intimate friends and associates,
and his paper will probably be the best
account of the Cardinal that will ap-
pear during his life. 1t includes a
brief essay by the Cardinal himself,
never before published, on the Inspira-
