ga STORY OF THE WARU EXPLODED.
A writer in the Philadelphia Press tells "a
Story of the War;" that in 1864 Earlys cam
paign against Washington was part of a
grand plan to release 10000 confederate
prisoners at Chicago Columbus, and San
dusky, and form a great northwestern con-
federacy. According to the narrative, Major
Cole, Of the Fifth Tennessee regiment, was
the leader selected for this enterprise, which
was under the general direction of Jacob
Thompson, confederate agent in Canada
The time fixed for striking the blow was
when Early, by attacking Washington,
should engage the strength of the Union
army, and the Republican national conven-
ton was in session at Chicago, where flour
thousand confederate soldiers and sympa-
thizers" were ready to join in the enterprise.
Early's delay in attacking Washington is
assigned as the cause of the postponement Of
the plan. General Early in an article in the
Lynchburg TirginiGn disposes of this story
in his usual incisive style. He shows that
his march on Washington was first proposed
by General Lee and Jefferson Davis on June
II, 1864; that after his defeat of Hunter at
Lynchburg and return to Staunton, the ex
pedition was left entirely in his discretion by
General Lee; that its object was solely
demonstration against Washington, made to
draw Off Union forces before Petersburg :;
that General Lee expressly instructed him
that it would be impossible to take Wash
ington. He states that while at Sharpsburg,
on his way to Washington, he received an
order from General Lee to send force to
Point Lookout to cooperate with a naval
orce in an effort to release the prisoners
here, and that he did send General Bradley
:. Johnson to execute that order, but, find
ing two corps of the Union army had arrived
from Petersburg, he recalled General John
son while on the march, after he had crossed
the Baltimore and Washington Railroad, on
his way to Point Lookout And, finally,
General Early administers the coup de grace
to the story by showing that his demonstra-
ton before Washington was on the 18th of
July, while the Chicago convention did not
meet until August 81, and therefore there
could have been no connection between the
two

ness. What bitter tears and faltering
words were exchanged in their parting none
can tell but the miniatures, given once as
the fair token of union, each still retained,
to be sorrowful consolation and reminder OF
lifelong separation.-Harper for april.

GOOD ADVICE,

Young man, if you had one and two-thirds
tons of gold coin, you would be worth just a
million dollars. Every little piece of gold
you get hold of throw into the junk pile
until you accumulate that weight. You can
sell in and become rich man.

DOROTHY DoLEFuL,s SAD VENTURE

DOROTHY DoLEFUpS SAD VENTURE.
1t sometimes seems odd-and yet it isn't
that some people in this world are so ex-
travagantly fond of the doleful, feast upon
all things which harrow up the soul, and
delight in adding 10 the darkness of a life
already dark enough. A morbidly bilious
temperament is the cause, and they who
have disposition so affected naturally find
relief by comparing their ills with those Of
others.
Widow Dorothy Doleful had lost three
husbands and nine sons upon the rcmorse-
less sea. She married in q sea~faring COM
munity, and the nautical inclinations of her
husbands and children had decked her head
twelve times with black bonnet and the
weed Of mourning.
But the Widow Doleful, though she had
q humane heart, had tough one, in some
respects. Her grief was like that of many
other widows. With charming system it
duly observed the outward ceremonies pre-
scribed by the world, but did not so penetrate
her soul as to make her heart break, or pre-

husband.
she was born with a passionate fondness
for the gloomy side of life, and the atmos-
phere of sorrow was wholesome to her. She
thrived under her affection like an ivy vine
in the shade, and related dismal tales with a
deep feeling of satisfaction. After her doz-
enth bereavement she one day betook herself
TO a little polite thinking, and, said the
widow to herself-as she smoothed the
wrinkles Of her black silk gown
This here won't do at all 1t won't do
for me to marry any more sailors! They
are ali the time dying at sea, and their sons
keep naturally doing the same likewise

That Settles the Contest.

Memphis Appeal: The Boilers
are determined to die game. Though
greatly disfgured, they announce
that they are still in the field and
are ready to die in the last ditch.
With dropping wings and bedrag-
gled tails, they still have vitality
enough to give a gutteral crow,
which shows the death rattle is in
their throats. Gen. William II.
jackson, chairman of the Boilers
executive committee, has issued an
address to the people, in which he
declares that Fussell is still can
didate for governor; that he has
gone into the canvass to stay, and
that any intimation, directly, in
ferred, or implied, that he will
withdraw from the canvass, is now,
and will be in the future, a sheer
fabrication. The announcement
settles the election of Bate beyond
the possibility of a doubt 1t is
plain to be seen that the withdrawal
of Russell would add to the
strength of Hawkins, whose cleo
tion the Boilers prefer to that of
the regular nominee of the party.
The Boilers still have some shame
left, for they do not wish to be
forced to vote for the blackmailer
Hawkins, who voted against the en-
franchisement Of the taxpaying
people of Tennessee, and who rep
resented and still represents the
most Internal era that the people
of the state ever knew or ever will
know, and will cast their vote for
Russell in the hope of making
man governor whose record is so
infamous that it would be political
death to give him the open, earnest
support which they propose to do
by indirect methods. The issue
is unquestionably between Hawkins
and Bate. The democracy of Ten
nessee confronted by the Same old
radical enemy-an enemy not to be
feared when presented in his naked
deformity, but dangerous when
reinforced by boilers. In every
part of the state the democrats are
organizing to beat back radicalisrn
now as it did in the past.

Beecher on Stalwartisrn.

Henry Ward Reecher in his ser
mon, last Sunday, speaking of the
method by which Folger was nomi-
mated in New York, said:
"When Christ was crucifed,
Herod and Plate were friend, so
when Cornell was defeated, avarice
and revenge met and kissed. May

Our Government has two great ele-

which the south strove, within Ger.

of the supremacy of local govern
ment in local affairs. This element
is precious in our sight and should
be maintained; the principle is deal

What Bows Should Learn

Not to tease boys and girls smaller
than themselves.
Not to take the easiest cha in
the room, put it in the pleasantest
place, and forget to offer it to the
mother when she comes in to sit
down.
To treat the mother as politely as
if she were strange lady, who did
not spend her life in their service.
To be as kind and helpful to their
sisters as they expect their sisters
to be to them.
To make their friends among
good boys.
To take pride in being gentlemen
at home.
To take their mother into their
confidence if they do anything
wrong, and above all never to lie
about anything they have done.
To make up their minds not to
learn to smoke, chew or drink, re
mcmbering that these things cannot
be unlearned, and that they are
terrible drawbacks to good men,
and necessities to bad ones.
To remember that there never was
a vagabond without these habits.
To observe these rules and they
are sure to be gentlemen.

They Settled It.

In a breach of promise suit in
Montana, not long ago, the plaintiff
said that the defendant, having
clearly understood the date fixed
for the wedding, had failed TO ap-
pear on the important day. He
afterwards had come TO the house,
but she being angry had set the dog
on him. The defendant admitted
that day had been set for the cere-
mony, and further said that he in
tended to be present as per agree
ment. "Then," said the judge,
"why did you not APPEAR well,
Judge, the fact is was treed all day
and night by bear, and couldn't
possibly get away in time" The
case was dismissed few moments
later, and Miss Plaintiff became
Mrs. Defendant.

a Mistaka.

A young man once picked up a
sovereign lying in the road. Ever
afterwards, as he walked along, he
kept his eyes steadily fixed on the
ground in the hope of finding an
other. And in the course of long
life he did pick up, at different times,
a good amount of gold and silver
All these days, however, he saw not
that heaven was bright above him,
and nature was beautiful around.
He never once lifted his eyes from
the mud and filth in which he sought
the treasure, and when he died, q
rich old man, he only knew this fair
earth of ours as a dirty road in
which to pick up money as you
walk along.
