grocery man, as he took a smoked
herring out of the box and peeled
off the skin with a broken bladed
jack-knife, and split it open and
ripped off the bone, threw the head

and began to eat.
"Well | don't know but he does

father with a dozen behring's and a
pound of crackers. ''But there is

what a bonanza you have fooled
yourself out Of by killing off your
father. The way | figure it, your
father will last about six months,
and you ought to treat him right,
the little time he has to live"

The lIan Who Spits.

The man who splits is a liberal
creature, but unlovcly in his libcr-
atty. That which he has to dis
pcnse he sheds around with gcncr-
Gus p~rofusion regardless Of time,
place or the presence of company.
In the physical economy of most
men, the liver is the largest gland
in the body. But to observe the
man who splits is to gather the idea
that his salivary glands must be at
least five times as large as his liver
and fifty times as active. The
mans life seems TO be given up 70

whene'er he takes his walks abroad
On entering a public conveyance,

All, life was so precious to him.!
The church before referred TO
was situated ON the street: it a
parallel with the flower garden on
the north; under it ran a culvcrt
which opened upon Il meadow lot.
Major Gassct, one of his officers
who had succeeded in escaping
with him-indccd, who had seen
the enemy approaching and quick
ly as he might had given warming
went with him into this culvcrt.
They passed through it to the
north side of the street The gen
cral, led on by the shadowy and
mysterious fate, whose guiding
hand he had no power to avert,
Immediately returned, leaving Gas
sett, who afterward made his cs-
cape, and for 3 few moments he
once moro sought refuge beneath
Gods sanctury, after which he
hurricdly passed into the flower
garden, where his friends, the
roses, hung their tear besprent
faces, and the mi,j5 were lifting
themselves skyward, and crossing
it, entered a vineyard, where the
suns golden fingers touching the
emerald globules Of the luscious
grapes turned them to blooming
purple and pale amethyst.
Alas. Alas!
1t was at this point, and doubt
less while awaiting the arrival Of
his troops, that he was discovered
by the enemy. The direful, dread
full enemy, hothrongcd the street

with the yard upon the south.
They fired on him. One shot
took effect in the left side Of his
chest, Telling him to the ground.
Brute instinct ovcrmatched reason
and the cry of humanity. Those
who had pcrpetrated the deed
climbed the picket fence and lifting
him bodily, threw him over into
the street. Here he was lifted
again, thrown across Il horse in

DEATH OF GEN. R

Mountain Ne,cs, writing from Nash
Vile, Tenn, gives the following
particulars of the death of the Ia
nous Confederate guerilla, Gen.
Morgan {:
being here reminds me of the
fact that General John II. Morgan,
the great Kentucky cavalryman,
was killed at Grccnyillo, in this
state, and the incidents connected
herewith may prove interesting to
the readers of The News.
Morgan, in command of about ff
teen hundred effective men. on
tho second day ofScptember, 1861,
took up his line ofmorch for Ken
tucky and on the next day, at sun
set, reached Grccnvillc, II fine old
country town i'll East Tennessee.
General Morgan's command con
sisted Of the remnant Of his old
brigade, Glmcr's brigade (com-
manded by Colonel Henry Giltuor).
Vaughn's brigade commanded by
Colonel Crawiord), and two com
pmnios from Mosby's brigade, com
maudcd by Captain Peter Everett.
Colonel j.. Howard Smith, think,
commanded the generals old com
maud, when on the march, and
those mon who were under Cap
tain Everett, numbering in all
about four hundred.
Crawford's command was order
cd to Blue Springs, a point seven
miles beyond the town in the di-
rcction of Bulls Gap, at which
place General Gillian was cncamp-
ed with a force numbering about
three thousand men. Colonel Gilt
ner was ordered into camp at tho
crossing Of the Babb's Mil road,
about five miles from the town in
the direction Of Rogcrsyil!c, Tenn.

northeast of the town. This last
mentioned place was not more
than two hundred yards from til,
residence Of Mrs. Williams, a
whose hospitabIe house the genera

for the night.
