Shortly after the war the Repub-
'icans, prancing in their wild career,
changed the names Of counties, and
formed new counties in many of the
Southern States in order to give
them the name of some of their
leaders. So long us they confined
themselves to such names as Lin.
coin. Grant, Sc, no objections were
made. In Arkansas, however, the
name of Dorsey was bestowed upon
new county in older to pcrpetuate
the name ola certain carpet bag
ger in that state, who is now on
trial tor Star Route stealings, and,
OF which he will, undoubtedly, be
considered guilty, no matter how
bis trial may result. This was /.
pill that the ARK anSans could not
swallow, sugar coated or in any 9th
er way. So the Legislature of tha:
state has changed the name of Dor
sey county to Dc Soto county, y
name that all men will love to hon
or and perpetuate.

Daring Rescne by a Coast Guardsman.
[From the London Telegraph, July 27.l

Last evening, at Perranporth, near Truro, the
driver Of a wagonette party wandering on the
beach found his retreat cut off by the tide. He
essayed to climb the cliffs, but when half way
up he found progress impossible and descent
certainly fatal The ledge on which he was
supported would only give space for one foot,
and the ground to which he elung above was
loose and crumbing. For some hours he en-
dured this suspense, when the visitors deserted
him from above. The news spread and crowd
congregated, but none dared venture along ths
slight ledge by which alone the man could be
approached. To have thrown a rope would
have been useless, for the effort TO catch it
would certainly have caused the poor fellow to
fall.
A coast guardsman named Regan volunteered
to be let down 100 feet over the face of the cliff,
and while he descended the excitement was
quickened tenfold. The man below could only
hold out a little longer and the least disturb
ance of the earth around him would inevitably
cause his destruction. In breathless eagerness
the spectators saw the one man near the other.
BY sudden effort the coast guardsman
clasped the man he had endeayored to save with
q sudden and strong grip, and they swung Of
the ledge together. Even then danger was not
at an end; but descent was safely effected to
p ledge below, whence access to the summit
was gradually gained.
The spectators were too overcome to cheer
but they did what was better-collected good
round sum for the gallant coast guardsman.

Large forces were reported in various drec-
tions and as delay would prove fatal Colonel
Grierson concluded to abandon the railroad
and take bee-line for Baton Rouge La. We
had completely destroyed forty miles of rail
road, and the command was becoming very
weary from want of proper rest. There was no
change four or five times, abandoning the old
ones. But few of the horses we had started with
were ridden through. Besides, we were getting
in poor trim for fighting there being only forty
rounds of ammunition left to each man, although
it was not the intention OF Colonel Grierson to
engage the enemy, but rather to avoid him.

compelled to fight, we should have fought des-

How n Lady Drove a Mouse Out
of a Flour Barrel.

One of the best stOriesof the season
comes from WrightsyiIle, S. O., and
is thus told by the Recorder: "a lady
while engaged in the pursuit Of her
domestic duties, encountered a mouse
| in the -four barrel. Now, most ladies,
under similar circumstances, would
have uttered a few genuine shrieks
and then sought safety in the garrett;
but this one possessed more than the
ordinary degree Of genuine courage.
She summoned the man servant and
told him to get the gun, call the dog,
and station himself at q convenient
distance. Then she olambered up
stairs and commenced to punch the
-four barrel with q pole. Presently
the mouse made her appearance and
started across the floor. The dog
started at once in pursuit. The man
fred and the dog dropped dead. The
lady tainted, fell down the stairs, and
the man, thinking she was killed, and
fearing that he would be arrested for
murder, disappeared, and has not been
seen since. The mouse escaped"
