Conway, who presided, said the late
rebellion was largely due to whisky.
1t was the Generals duty to admin
lister the oath to the Confederates in
New Orleans after the war, as a
member Of Gen. Canbv's staff. Adj
miral Semmes walked in one morn
ing and asked to be sworn. They
talked of the war There would not
have been any war; said Admiral
Scmmes, had it not been for whis
ky. The war came about in this
way. Jefferson Davis and a dozen
other leading Southern men met at a
hotel in Charleston and discussed
what they were going to DO about the
Inauguration Of Abraham Lincoln
Jefferson Davis was the only one who
wanted to fight about it. The others
were satisfied to let Mr.. Lincoln be
President. At II o'clock at night
the discussion grew animated. and
whisky was introduced. In an hour
every one of the thirteen was for
war, and whisky was the cause Of
the change" Mrs. Doutncy sang.

Tho Wool Rivnr ,

The Woo River excitement is
abating and very little is heard from
that supposed depository Of wealth
Every report is of a discouraging ma
ture, men out Of work, times duh and
nothing to do. Lack Of capital and
safe investments have caused the
trouble. - Pendleton East Ore
gOnian.
We are glad to learn that the OK
citement is abating. Heretofore the
people of Wood River have been kept
poor by the gangs of tramps, dead
beats and bummers that have come
in. Now, that .sthe excitement i
abating' decent folks will doubtless
have show to earn a few dollars
and keep them.

Tery TOucRingif TPte.

A number Of years ago some miners
in Wales, in exploring an old pit that
had long been closed, found the body
of young men dressed in a fashion
long out Of date. The peculiar action
of the air of the mine was such as
preserved the body so perfectly that
it appeared asleep rather than dead.
The miners were puzz ed at the cir
cumetance. No orr in the diEtrict
had been missed within their femem-
brance, and at last it was resolved to
bring the oldeat inhabi:ant-an old
lady long past her 80th year, who had
lived single in the village the whole
Of her life. On being taken into the
presence Of the body very strange
Scene occurred. The old lady fell on
the corpse, and kissed it, and ad-
dressed it by every term Of endear-
ment, spoken in bvgone generation.
He was her only love, and she bad
waited for him during her long life.
She knew he had not foreaken her.
The old lady and young man had
been betrothed sixty years before.
The lover had disappeared mysteri-
Ously and she had kept her faith dur
ing the long interval Time had
stood sdll with the youas man but
had left its mark on the woman.
The miners who were present were a
rough set, but very gently and with
fearful eyes they removed the old la
dy to her house, and that mig her
faithful spirit rejolned that of her
long.lost lover.
