CHArr,soosA, March 2.-1he Democrat
al stes .ihst1Gen. james Longstree', accom-
,~atsfed BY Col. Frank A. Barr, of Philadel-
phia, and E. P. Howell, OF Atlanta, was in
the city yesterday, and revisited the battle
fields near Chattanooga. They all went out
on horseback, and when they reached the
old arena of Conflict. they stopped at every
little eTninence to recall instances of the war,
and note great changes 10 the surroundings.
Gen. L2Dgstreet was remarkably familiar
with every spot over which The Confederate
army had passed, considering the many
changes that time and progress have
wrought, and when the party arrived at
a certain point on Mission ridge he
alighted ninbly from his saddle, left
horse and quickly, but without speaking,
walked to a certain tree and prizsd from
under the bark knifs-blade which be had
stuck there twenty years ago. Then turning
to his companions he said: Somehow /
feel solemnly enthused. Here is relic Of
exciting days. l placed that blade here just
about twenty years ago. l remembered the
spot as we'll ss if it had only been yesterday,
and the tree is as familiar as the face of an
old comrade." After spending several hours
quite pleasantly, looking over the grounds
and picking up relics of various kinds, they
returned to the city and left On the 12:45

Murat n aistead's story of the ID svasta n
tfon and Suffering.

Murat Halstead telegraphs the New York
Herald that in Cincinnati a committee of the
Chamber Of Commerce organized the relief
OF the fugitives and the d.stitute, and SO
large have been the home contributions that
they have been able to distribute to outside
points all the contributions from other
cities, to appropriate $4,000 for cleaning
the submerged portion OF the town, and to
relieve some conspicuous cases of suffering
beyond our corporate lines, and they expect
return TO the city treasury oue-half OF the
100000 appropriated by the, City Council.
This is the result of capable and conscien.
tious administration. The committee had
returned to them to day from Guyandotte,
w. Va, a check for $500, with the Information
that the people there ware able TO take care
OF themselves. Atthessme time commune
cation was received from several citizens
saying the money was actually needed. There
can be no doubt that Guyandotte was dam
aged seriously, but the fine spirit Of the
people in refusing q handsome donation
must be. acknowledged with admiration. Il
was the City Council OF Guyandotte that re-
fused the money, and The postmaster said the
councilmen were too sensitive. 1t is diff
cult to tell in other places just what the de-
gree OF necessity for aid ia. One OF the
doubtful points is New Albany, Ind. There
has been an official declaration that the
people of New Albany can take care Of
themselves, and private advices -ay there are
hard times there. Precisely the same terms
may be used about Aurora, Ind. However,
there Is a good deal OF wealth in New
Albany and Aurora, and the official denials

"gmpiy is the Cradle p

PADUcAH, March 1.-THE News says that
Yesterday while catching Drift in the Ohio
river, Mr.. Dave Carroll, who lives near the
Locust street enginehouse, came across a
cradle 10 the waters and took it in tow and
brought it to his home in this place. Near
the cradle he found number of pieces Of
baby clothing, all Of plain character, which
had evidently been washed from the cradle,
while in the cradle was more clothing, pair
of little shoes and some bed clothing; but
the occupant Of the cradle, il there was one
in it when the cradle began its voyage upon
the rampant waters Of the flooded Ohio, had
disappeared, to find, perhaps, a home with
some one who had lifted it from its perilous
position, or gone down TO watery
grave and another home in the happy
beyond. Mr.. Carroll has the cradle, plain
Dor crib, and the clothing, and will keep
them, at least for a time, with the hope OF
hearing from the owner. Their finding may
never be known, as the articles may have
come from miles up the Ohio or some OF it's
tributaries, and yet it may be that they will
De claim ID by some distressed parents, who

Sheridan Cannot be Legally L xtradited
from New YORK..

LONDON, March 2.-The Law Times, in an
article on The application for the extradition
Of Sheridan, points out that a proviso ex-
Guiding perpetrators of political crimes from
exlradition does not occur in the Ashburton
treaty. The treaty, il says, do7s not include
murder, and by decisions rendered in New
York, the crime of murder includes being
accessory thereto. The question is strictly q
legal one. The Lav Times says the utmost
charge that can be brought agaiust Sheridan
is conspiracy TO murder, and his ofense,
therefore, IL not within the strict terms oil
the treaty, but the United States has discre-
tionary power in the matter.

The Condition OF she Le9ees I'm and
About Omega.

The Vicksburg Herald OF Thursday says:
"Capt. Mitchell, United States engineer, in
charge OF the leves work Ell Omega, or Buck
horn, as it is sometimes called, was in the
city yesterday. He reports the condition Of
the levee at that point as par excellence.
All the back water th,t had accumulated
ok of Omsga Cspt. Michel hiss
been enabled to drain of with
the aid of two bitches 5000 feet
in length, FIVE feet in depth and four feet
wide. The consequence is Omega, at one
time completely submerged from back water,
is now high and dry with three feet OF bank
to spare. In three days Capt. Marshall says
that he will have all the main levee at that
place completed 10 net grade. He thinks
when finished Omega could safely stand the
water of 1882. The news from all other points

cate most encouraging prospect for the
valley. About 800 lsborers weres sent
10 the Delta, Goodrich's and Elleslie levee
yesterday. 1t can hardly be said that there
is such thing now as dangerous levee on
either bank OF the river from Warrenton to
Greenville. The water has submerged
good portion of the track OF the VicksbIrg,
Shreveport and Pacific railroad, hence for
the present daily train will run west from

The white, 81. Frascis aud Cache River
Bottoms.

A special from Helena to the Cincinnati
Netos says that the water In White and
Cache rivers is sufficiently high 10 cause the
drowning of cattle, and great deal of dis
tress is occasioned. This is as yet confined
to the lowest parts, but the water continues
to rise, coming from az far of IS the sunk
lands and then into the 81. Franc s, and
spreading itself for miles and miles around.
In this portion people have taken refuge in
second stories. and their animals are moved
into houses. 1t is asserted, and believed,
that we have never seen feod which will
equal in violence and devastation this one
so near upon US. One hears this predicted
from many sid y and yet the people are not
preparing against 1t as they should. There
are those who will not realize that their
homes are to be destroyed in the same ruth
less manner. There are no good levees near
these rivers. The cattle are already being
moved TO Deval's Bluff from Friars Point,
Miss, below this place. The water is creep
ing up from the back-water, and it is be-
lieved the town will soon be under, aud
many fine plantations situated around this
locality will be overlooked, and much loss 10
consequence. A large number of celored
people have left The place, vowing they will
never return where they are in 80 much dan

VINO had come to hear Gen. Fitzhugh Lees lecture
on the Battle OF Chancellorsville" 1t was very
large audience, and embraced great many ladies.
Several rows of chairs in front, facing the STAGE
were occupied by the lady patronesses of the &C.
casion, who, TO the number of 10S dressed gener-
ally in black, wore on the bosom knots OF red ana
white roses and red ribbons.
The stage was set with stacks OF muskets on the
TANKS, and at each of the two front angles was
brass twelve-pounder mountain howitzer. On the
left and near one of the guns Perelli's statue
of Stonewall Jackson, the property OF the Associa
ton of the Army of Northern Virginia. The stage
was hung with Confederate battle flags, torn and
stained in the war storms through which they had
passed, while above and over all was a canopy OF
national flags surmounted by shield bearing the
arms OF the United States.
On the platform were also the president of the
occasion, Col. William Preston Johnston, and the
Independents and the Committees of Arrange
ments and Reception.
At the back OF the Stage was large sheet OF
canvas, inscribed with sentiment from StCintOR'
work by Northern author, who wrote volumin-
ously on the subject OF the late war. The extract
written upon the canvas was the following:
who that ever saw IL can forget that array OF
tattered uniforms and bright muskets, that body
of incompatible infantry, the Army of Northern
Virginia, which for four years carried the revolt
on its bayonets, opposing constant front to the

it, which receiving terrible blows. did not fail to
give the like; and vital in all its parts died only
with its annihilation."

THE PLEASURE OF BUSINESS.

No human mind is cortented
without occupation. No human soul
is satisfied without an aim or purpose
10 life. The greatest success 10 life
consists not in the mere accumula,
ton of riches, but in being able to
acquire wealth with disposition to
apply it in such q manner that it
shall be comfort and blessing to
others-not in the mere giving away
of money, but in putting people in a
way to labor and help themselves.
There is no pleasure in Cypress
ion. There is no joy in grinding
and exacting gold from the poor,
but there is a great deal of genuine
satisfaction in being able to offer
steady and honorable employment to
the many willing hands that have
nothing to do. One Of the greatest
enjoyment of the prosperous bust
ness man consists in being eble to
comfortably provide for the many
employees 10 his house and manufac
tory. 10 doing this he is fulfilling
his obligation to society; be becomes
a useful and honorable citizen; bust
ness to him is real pleasure; be en-
joys his success, when they are fair
ly won because be feels that be
deserves them.
When q business man has the
right kind of purpose in life be
enjoys his occupation, he feels a
just and worthy pride in his prosper
ity, he is pleased with the respect
and gratitude of those whom he di~
reefs and controls 10 the manage
ment of bis affairs, and be feels that
10 bene6ting himself he is comforting
favor upon others.
