hard, with foaIning horse He was wild with
excitement Carried away completely, he

the back rs h. told the good news.
"Porter. you've been drinking" said
Rellow-officer sternly.
But Col Porter was teetotaller. His ex
hilaration was due to joy and not to brandy
The rest of the staff were well nigh as crazy
with gladness as himself.
But the immovable commander-in-chiei
made no demonstrations. He listened te
every word, till the whole story was told.
Then he arose and went into his tent He
wrote something by the light Of Pickering
candle within. He came out to the fire
again, and gave the paper to an orderly.
Then he turned to the group Of officers and
said, calm as a May morning:
81 have ordered an immediate assault along
the lines"
The next move was to send the favorable
word to President Lincoln. He had come
down to City Point and, with his soul full Of
anxiety, was waiting for news of the day,
good or bad.
Only one hope now remained to Lee. That
was to escape by rapid retreat and join Gen.
Johnston. The two armies together might
still offer formidable front to the Federal
forces. This movement Grant had prepared
to anticipate. He hurried rn-enforcements
forward to Sheridan, with directions to hold
Lees army at all hazards till the rest should
come up. To the fiery little cavalry com
nander himself he sent word: can attack is
| ordered at 4 in the morning at
three points on the Petersburg front" To
prevent Lee from breaking through Sheri-
dams lines and escaping SOUTH however, a
furious bombardment was begun before mid
| night and continued.

From the Dallas Democrat.
Two hundred Texas editorial pom
ellis are sharpened up to give greeting
TO the Dallas branch of the Calves
ton News, that is to be born to-mor-
row.
No, you are mistaken, the child
came Into The world still-born. How
ever, some of our exchanges gives
the medicant little Texas hell, aud
north Texas people will be quite
warm for the new venture for some
time to come. Dallas would have
been fine point to start first-class
morning daily democratic paper I'M
der certain circumstances but the
Galveston News, like the rose has a
peculiar order lingering about il
that will for years TO come preclude
the possibility of II meeting with a
lovers reception among our people.
North Texas is composed chiefly OF
christian people, but in some res
poets the humsn nature in them is
too strong for human temptation aud
they cannot love the hand that has so
often and uuder such peculiar cir
cumstances, smitten them on both
sides of the cheek. The Dallas Her
aid, God knows, is bad enough as a
democratic journal, but when it
comes to asking as to accept the Gal
weston News as new Moses to lead
us through the wilderness of prohi-
bition and fanaticism, we say no,
first, last and all the time. aAnd
they said unto him, can any good
come out of Nazareth? And he said
unto them, wait and see."

a Little Negro BOY swallowed by
Cntnsh.

Catfish.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
BURTON. Ala, September a.
About ten days ago small negro
boy, whose mother lives on the AL
ALBANIA river, about two miles from
this place, was missing. The child
was In the habit of playing near the
river bank, and 1t Ia supposed fell
into the river and was drowned; and,
as the mother seemed Indifferent
about its loss, very little search was
made for the body. This morning at
an early hour some negroes discov-
cred a very large catfish playing In
the river near the landing at this
place, and securing some boats aud a
seine the monster fish was soon
landed on the bank. where 1t was
quickly surrounded by group of
asst onished spectators. The fish was
tipping the beam at 1877 pounds.
One of our butchers purchased il
from the captors, intending to ship
1t 10 Montgomery or Selma for sale.
On opening the fish the butcher was
mortified 10 find a pair of small shoes
hat aud what appeared to have
been pair of pants and shirt.
While an excited group of citizens
were discussing The remarkable find,
some suggested that perhaps The fish
had swallowed the missing negro
boy. The mother was sent fer aud
| at once identified the shoes aud hat
as belonging to her boy that was
supposed to have been drowned, aud
there is no doubt but the fish had
swallowed the body aud failed to di.
gcst the clothing. The missing boy
was about 3 years old, but of very
small stature for that age, aud no
one who has seen it doubts the flsh's
ability to swallow a body of that
size.

the able aud eloquent report to the

who was appointed to investigate
the national trail subject and the dan

senator Cohe.


Senator Richard Coke has been be-
fore the people of Texas in many ca
pacities for many years, years
which have been full of rapid and
radical changes. Since he came to
the surface in Texas, new nation
has been born and one has been laid
quietly in the tomb. A great revo-
luton stirred the country to its pro-
foundest depths. lis seethings and
turmoils have been quieted and calm
ed. A new order of things has been
inaugurated. A servile race cn-
franchised and ideas, business, poll
tics, social life, everything has been
reconstructed. 1t Is saying good
deal of a man in active life to say that
he has stood firm, square and evenly
balance through II all. This can BIO
said of Coke, and very few other pub
lie men either in Texas or elsewhere
can look back and honestly say there
is nothing he would change, so far as
his personal life is concerned. Coke
has stood erect as the giant oak, I'M
bending and unbent, his life ruled by
fixed, and immutablc principles of
right and justice, as well as party
fealty and truth. Some of the
wiseacres have charged that

The SMALLPOX i'm Montreal.

In consequence of the Inauguration of
compulsory vaccination in the afflicted city,
at about seven o'clock Monday evening a
bowling mob surrounded the East End
branch health Office and completely wrecked
the building. The police were powerless
and the mob, gathering strength from this,
marched upon the central Office in the City
Hall. A strong force of constables was
gathered inside, but the mob drove them
out of their way like sheep. After the mob
had smashed the central office they turned
their attention to the central police station
and soon had all the windows broken. Re-
volver shots were freely fired at the police.
The constabes charged the mob, clubbing
right and left, and succeeded in dispensing
them, but not before they had wrecked a
portion of the courthouse windows which
are opposite the City Hall. The mob broke
up into different bodies and proceeded to
wreck the windows of the Herald office, and
of the offices of the medical health officer,
chairman of the finance committee and
public vaccnator. The mortality for the
week ending Monday night, in the city and
adjoining municipalities, was about three
hundred. In the Catholic churches, Sun
day, in addition to the reading of a circular
on vaccination, the priests strongly urged
their congregations to be vaccinated and
advised all those who had smallpox in their
families to stay at home. A gentleman on
the citizens committee claimed there were
at least four thousand cases of smallpox in
the city.
