Skctcl,ing Jobn Brown.

Said 1: "Mr Boteler, you lived close
to the scene of the John Brown raid;
did you see Brown?n
Yes, sir. / not only saw him hauled
out Of the engine-house, but while he
was yet freshly wounded Col. Robert
Lee allowed me to pass and talk to him
as he lay on the bare floor in one of the
armory buildings. There is singular
circumstance about that. Some time
before Browns descent ON Harper's
Ferry took my wife one day Il sketch
that / had made with pencil in the
cars coming from Point of Rocks to
Harper's Ferry. Said i: My dear
here is genuine picture of the Wan
dering Jew Who is jt?' she asked.
Il don't know. 1t was strange old
man, with fingers like the talous of
bird, that saw talking to two young
men. He had the most remarkable head
/ have looked at for years. His hair
went up like spikes, his jaw and
mouth were very strong, and he had
an eye that would look you through
and through. His nose was like an
eagles and there was something very
fascinating about him, yet supersti-
tious: and / made that sketch of him
and called him the Wandering Jew.
He was talking about sheep-raising,
and talked very intelligently, too, and
/ was interested in what he said,
because thought he might be going
to buy land in our parts. Well, my
wife put that picture away and forgot
about IL. Suddenly the descent on
Harper's Ferry was made. 1t did not
then occur to me that Brown was the
same man | had seen. But when he
was tried ut Charlestown and stood up
to make the speech before sentence was
passed upon him, | took the opportu-
nifty todraw another sketch OF him.
BY that time lie had somewhat recov-
cred from his wounds. | took the
sketch home and said, There Mrs.
Boteler, you see old John Blown
Why said she, Il have seen this man
before oh, guess not,
said /. YES / have She thought
about 1t awhile, and then
turned 10 the drawer where she had
put my sketch of the Wandering jew.
aud drew 1t out. Yes said she, here
is the very man.. l had made the
sketch of John Brown unwittingiy"

Georgia,s OFFSET to tho Direct Tax.

Washington, July bah of the
states which adhered to the Union paid
their quota under the direct tax act of
August 5, 1861, while the war WAS in
progress, with the exception of the
states of Kansas and Mississippi. OF
the states which composed the southern
Confederacy, Arkansas is the only
one against which no charge is carried
on the books OF the treasury on this ac-
count. The amounts given below
stand as balances due the United
States on account Of the direct tax levy
Of 1861 by the various states named:
Alabama, S529,3l3; Florida, S67, SOD;
Georgia, 1854 ,367; Louisiana, S4S5, $50;
Mississippi. Sil3,0S4; North Carolina,
$3.50, 1914; South Carolina, 1878, $40;
Tennessee, $l69, 49S; Texas. $685., Jos;
Virginia, SS20,07l,
! The late congress, by an act, appro-
priated $50, $50 TO refund to the state of
Georgia certain money advanced to the
general government duling the revo-
lutionary war. When tho state agent
applied at the treasury for the pay
ment of the money the first comp
troller decided that they could not re-
ceive it. but that it should
be applied as part offset
to the claim the United States against
the state on account of the direct tax.
The Georgia authorities demurred to
this, and the governrr of Georgia has
deemed it of sufficient consequence to
send q special message ON the subject to
the legislature and TO inform that body
he has notified the secretary Of the
treasury that the state does not acqui-
esce in the treasury ruling.

Briggs, Of Manchester rose to q per-
sonai explanation. He said the article
which appeared in the National Re
publican of Washington, on Saturday,
an order Issued by the direc-
ton OF Major General Summer, De-
cember the 7th, 1882, dismissing
Briggs, then assistant quartermaster
OF the llIth New Hamspnlre- volun-
teers, from service, for resigniDg in
explanation. After the battle of
Sumner III person for leave of absence
w uttSnu W luISltsibt otSiut9o ut
home, but the request was denied.
General Sumner said he would accept
his resignation, whereupon it was pre-
scented. He came home, looked after
his business, returned to the front and
assumed n position which had been
held open for him. He continued with
the regiment until obliged to
resign on account of sickness,
and the order which he read was is
sused August LIST, 1862, and granted his
honorable discharge from the service.
1t was the first personal explanation
he ever had been called upon to make
during a long term of public service,
which included six years in congress.
At the conclusion of his remarks a
resolution accepting the explanation
given as perfectly satisfactory and eX-
honorating Briggs from any suspicion
of cowardice was unanimously
adopted.
