OLD YIOLINS.

The Moore Gazette in its last issue boasts
of a violin in that county that is 1l2 years
old, but that is an infant when compared
with a veteran violin in this county, now
owned by Mr.. James Moore of this place.
Mr.. Moore's instrument was brought to
America many years ago by Commodore
w. Z. Boudinot, of this place, to whom
while an officer in the United States navy, it
was given in 1912, at Cape Town in Africa.
The violin was repaired in 1852 Q41. years
ago. as is shown by an inscription on it, ana
the gentleman who gave it to Commodore
Boudinot, assured him that it was made in
1912, nearly two and half centuries ago!
Is is certainly a very old and remarkable
violin, and is the sweetest toned instrument
that we have ever heard Chatham (N. C)
Record.
Col. Coward, of this place, owns violin
that is supposed to be, and is pronounced
by many, genuine Stradivarius, which, If
made by that maker, say in the prime of
his life, would be about 200 years old.
But the quaintest old violin of which we
have any knowledge is one now undergoing
repairs In this place for gentleman of
Greensboro, N. G. 1t bears the inscription
of Gaspard Duiffo Pruggar, ahG is dated
1923, which, if genuine, would make it 3GO

THE ORGANIZATION OF THE NEXT SEN
ATE Numerous applications for the mi
nor positions to be given at the reorgan1za,,
ton 0fthe next Senate have been received
by d number of Senators. These aspirants
have been assured that in all probability
no appointments will be made before De-
cember next. There is a feeling among Sen
ators that no extra session Ofthe Senate will
be necessary. 1t seems to be understood
that Senator Davis will resign in time to
give the Republicans an opportunity for
electing his successor. Democratic Senators
think that he is patriotic enough to do this:
Senators Edmunds and Athony are most
prominently spoken of for the coming pre-
Siding officer. The latter, while entitled to
the honor out Of respect of his long connec-
ton with the Senate, is believed by some
members to be too old to elect. They fear
that his unexpected demise might necessi-
tate the election of his successor before Con-
press next cOnvenes. On account OF MIR.
Anth0ny's age certain Senators believe that
less risk would be run by the election of MIR.
Edmunds.
REVOLUTIONARY BULLETS j. A.
N0rthey, who lives two and half miles
east from this place OH the Cherokee Ford
road. brought to our Office the other day
eleven huge leaden bullets which he found
deposited in the ground near his home.
The eleven bullets weigh even one pound,
are cone-shaped and very odd-looking-dif-
ferent in appearance from any ever before
seen by the parties who have observed
them. These relics bear the clear indication
of ancient deposit and when it is remember,
ed that VIM. Campbell, Isaac Shelby and
BENJAMIN Cleveland wrote in 1850 that "the
enemy lay encamped some where near
Cherokee Ford" and that this locality hg-
ured several times in the Revolutionary an
mails, it is highly probable that these bullets
were handled by revolutionary troops, be-
ing carried possibly through some of the
memorable engagements of an historicpast
Could these voiceless messengers OF an i'm
mortal struggle speak, whata volume of in
terest might they unfold: One of the bull
lets has the appearance of having been shot.

MAJOR A. Warren, who has been
in the city day or two came
directly through from the Guadalupe
" Calvo aud San Francisco mines in
the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, in
which number of Memphis people
are largely interested. His reports are
quite encouraging as to the prospects
Of these mines. There is plenty of
ore of good quality. The difficulty, it
would seem, has been to get suitable
machinery to the place and to set it in
motion. The most of the trouble,
however, will soon be over, and ten
stamps put in operation at the Gauda-
lupe y Calvo. There is ore enough in
sight already to run these for two
years in reducing ore to bullion. The
prospects OF the San Francisco, which
is adjacent, are equally as good. The
Stockholders here who have invested
SO much money are quite
sanguine as to the early results.
The Polk mine, some forty miles of
from these named, is valuable prop
erty, and will pay we'll when properly
started and worked, which will prob
ably not be long. The Major goes on
to Nashville, then to New York, and
thence back to Mexico. He says that
the ore is there in paying quantity and
quality, and whilst not going into de-
tails unless with stockholders in pri-
vate, there was tone of greater hope
fulness and positive assurance about
him than at any former visit. There
II every reason to believe that the
Memphis investors are about to strike
ii rich.

Custer on a Thoroughbred.

Buffalo Bill tells 3 new story about
his first ride with Custer. SIN 1867
he says, 81 was post guide and scout
at Fort Hays, Kansas. Before that
time l had met Gen. Custer when he
was stationed at old Fort Fletcher,
but l was not well acquainted with
him. One evening early in June he
came into Hays with only a light
escort and was on a forced march In
Fort Larned, which is slxty-fve miles
from the former place. AT that time
there were, of course, no railroad con.
nect'ons. When the general OK.
pressed a wish forsome guide to accom-.
pany. him the commanding officer
detailed me, and orders were given
to start at daylight the following morn
ing. AT the tims my best long. dis
lance horse was q big, -colored
mule, and as 1 heard what a lightning
traveller Custer was / knew that onlo
my best runner would do to keen
ahead of the 'Whirlwind,' as the In,
dians called him. 1 thought I would
be prompt and ahead OF tho general
at daylight, but when / arrived he
was already on the ground with his
staff and orderlies. When / rode I'm
l noticed him cycling the animal / was
riding and when / announced that 7
was to be his guide he assented. lint
said l would have to get a better
horse. 1t would, l would find. taka
something better than an old mule
to keep ahead of him. I v~igorouslv
maintained that the mule would pet
over the sixty.five miles as quick as
any horse he had, and he seemed TO
be satisfied when the post commander
spoke up and confirmed what / said.
For the first ten miles l had To nae

from riding over me, but after Gross.
